From boasting an enigmatic charm and a sliver of avant-garde cool, Johnny Depp has always known how to put the odd twist on things, and his role as Roux in the 2000 romantic drama Chocolat is no different. It may have been an indulgent story of rebellion, chocolate, and love, but the movie delivered an unforgettable style moment when Depp was seen at a French village in the late 1950s wearing the Issey Miyake Wellington S – T50 sunglasses. The vintage setting may have been well placed, but the sunglasses were mercilessly modern, gifting Roux’s rebellious, bohemian aesthetic with a slick touch, a timeless sophistication.
No wonder Depp found himself attracted to this particular model. The Wellington S – T50 was built with his quirky, offbeat style in mind. Much like Depp himself, these sunglasses are sophisticated without losing personality. A marriage of modern Japanese design and the classic masculinity, it has clean lines, sculpted silhouette, and materials that are sleek. Roux’s character is the kind of eyewear that whispers cool confidence rather than screams attention and it that kind of eyewear, it’s perfect.
Let’s talk specs. Square in shape, the Issey Miyake Wellington S – T50 comes in a luxurious-looking gold finish. Based on our experience, these full-rim sunglasses are made to be as durable as possible and as refined as can be, all from ultra lightweight titanium.

Issey Miyake has long been celebrated for his minimalist, tech-forward approach to fashion — and these sunglasses are no exception.
