Carven, the old French house recently re-invigorated by Guillame Henry, will put those sunglasses from their spring 2012 runway into production early next year.  The round shades are even more retro than Henry’s charming designs and will come in everything from basic black and tortoise to hot pink and neon green—most topped off with gold rims.  ELLE UK reports that there will be 12 styles of eyeglasses and 13 sunnies.  But if you don’t want to wait until next spring to sport Cs on your shades, eBay has a surprising amount of original Carven frames from the 50s through the 80s.  They range in price from $34 to $129 and some even feature a braided gold rim.
