RR Auction Marlon Brando personally owned and worn black sunglasses

Brando’s personally-owned and -worn black sunglasses manufactured by North, featuring ‘wrap-around’ tinted lenses in the temple area. In fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from Marlon Brando’s business manager and lifelong friend JoAn Corrales. Corrales says Brando was inspired to try these glasses after seeing his son Christian wearing welding goggles—Brando’s eyes were sensitive to the glare of film set lights, so he loved this pair of sunglasses and the protection they offered on the sides due to the ‘wrap-around’ style. This direct association with Brando’s work in film makes these sunglasses an especially fantastic item. RR Auction COA.
