Tydée Z: An Innovative Reinterpretation

This iconic model, worn by artists and stars up to the 1980s and generating sales of over one million worldwide, has been reinterpreted by Marius Morel 1880. It is known as Tydée, just like its predecessor. The concept has been designed in accordance with the purest eyewear tradition: totally adjustable and with an emphasis on authenticity and comfort.

The extreme thinness that defines the Tydée design fitted with its famous end piece No. 3 (developed by Morel) draws its inspiration from the retro styles of the early 20th century: small eye shapes, slim temples, antique colours, retro tortoiseshells and elegant finishes.

With Tydée Z, Marius Morel offers a real return to the source where all the ingredients are cleverly fashioned to give an elegant, trendy product full of character.
