Camille: Reworked Retro Design

The Marius Morel 1880 collection reintroduces the elegance of the company’s very first designs: authentic products subtly updated in terms of volumes and details.

The Camille concept consists of four handcrafted acetate models (mitered end pieces) featuring a keyhole bridge and generous shapes. The frames are fitted with the exclusive “M” spring-hinge. The five barrels make the whole assembly robust and responsive.
