The 90s fashion accessory you can sell today for 150 euros: a sought-after item among collectors.

We all have that drawer: there we keep accessories from our adolescence, photos with our friends, or movie tickets from years ago, little treasures that, without knowing it, accumulate value.

You open the lid and are overcome by a wave of nostalgia, a journey to the past among objects that, over time, cease to be simple utensils and become silent witnesses of moments lived.

This time, we're going to open a drawer that was frozen in the 1990s and contains a pair of sunglasses with a very vintage feel. These are the Indo by James Dean, in the Colt model. An accessory whose value has increased over time.

Made in Spain and sourced from original stock (NOS), these are a gem of vintage design. Constructed from gold-tone metal and tortoiseshell acetate, they come in standard sizes (51 mm lens width, 19 mm bridge, 140 mm temple). Their rounded design and pilot-style top bar provide a timeless look, suitable for both oval and elongated faces.

On the todocoleccion website, we can find these glasses, preserved in perfect condition and unused, which represent a unique opportunity: an item not currently in production, which retains its authenticity and whose demand only grows as stocks run out and original material becomes scarce. Currently, they are on sale for 150 euros, a price that could increase over the years.

Why is it a special model?

This model of glasses combines three characteristics that make it a very special piece. On the one hand, it stands out for its scarcity and increasing value. Because these are unused vintage stock, their supply is limited. Over time, they will appreciate in value for reasons as simple as rarity and collector demand.

The design is classic, but its use is current. With a pilot-inspired aesthetic and a sleek profile, they fit easily into modern looks. The combination of gold-tone metal and alumni paste gives them personality without being too over-the-top.

Furthermore, its history is linked to a legend . They bear the "James Dean" seal, evoking fashion, cinema, and rebellious youth culture. This reference translates into aura and myth: Colts aren't just glasses, they're a statement.

Who was James Dean?

James Dean wasn't a designer or manufacturer of glasses, but his impact on 20th-century popular culture made him an icon of rebellion, style, and sophistication. He died prematurely in 1955, but left an indelible mark thanks to films like Rebel Without a Cause , East of Eden , and Giant .

Her aesthetic was minimalist yet powerful: leather jackets, a defiant gaze, and, yes, clip-on glasses that highlighted her magnetism. She influenced dozens of brands and designers who have sought to reproduce that fresh, authentic feel in fashion pieces and accessories.

The glasses associated with her figure became iconic. It was this combination of personality, magnetism, and charisma that transformed a functional accessory into an aesthetic symbol. With large lenses, bold frames, and metal bar details, her look was imitated by generations— from the 1950s to the 1990s —and became a reference for designers who have revived these classic features in current collections.
