The Old Shanghai Collection: A Fusion of Tradition, Culture, and Fashion

Discover the glamour and mystery of a bygone era with the Old Shanghai collection from polette. Inspired by the golden age of Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s, this collection captures the fusion of Eastern elegance and the sophistication of Art Deco that defined the city's unique charm. Each frame in the Old Shanghai collection is a design masterpiece that evokes the opulence of vintage jazz clubs, vibrant silk markets, and the illuminated streets of the Bund. From the delicate curves of Rosamond to the intricate details of Lao Kele, and the phonograph-inspired silhouette of Eileen, these three exclusive models bring timeless elegance to contemporary eyewear.

Crafted with precision and artistry, the collection features vibrant colors, luxurious textures, and bold geometric patterns that recall the iconic aesthetics of the era. Perfect for those who appreciate classic design, the Old Shanghai collection celebrates the harmony between tradition and modernity

 

The Rosamond

A symbol of resilience and refinement, Rosamond pays homage to Soong Ching-ling, a woman of grace and unwavering strength. With its delicate yet structured design, this frame embodies the perseverance and timeless elegance of Chinese women in the 20th century.

A frame for those who carry their history with poise and walk the future with purpose.

The Eileen

Inspired by the literary brilliance of Eileen Chang, Eileen captures the romance and nostalgia of Old Shanghai. With flowing curves reminiscent of a spinning phonograph and the delicate allure of a cheongsam, this frame is a poetic tribute to storytelling, music, and enduring style.

Like a whispered novel, it wraps you in nostalgia, elegance, and quiet rebellion.

The Lao Kele

Channeling the sophistication of the Peace Hotel’s legendary Senior Jazz Band, Lao Kele is a vision of gentlemanly charm. With sleek lines and a refined silhouette, this frame reflects the artistic soul, cultural richness, and dapper elegance of Old Shanghai’s golden age.

A timeless echo of jazz, art, and the golden rhythm of a city that never fades.



Step into a world of nostalgia and style with polette’s Old Shanghai Collection – where every frame tells a story of culture, history, and sophistication.
