Overview
- After his Senate appearance in the ‘Caso Koldo’ inquiry drew attention to his eyewear, Pedro Sánchez posted on X with the message “LO DE LAS GAFAS” linking to the shop’s Instagram.
- GafaVintage stated the frames are vintage Christian Dior ‘Monsieur’ and said they sold them to Sánchez about five years ago, adding they are not new and the price of the frame was around €250.
- Store owner Jorge said Sánchez has been a customer for roughly a decade, that he bought the Dior frames in person, and that Begoña Gómez first recommended the boutique.
- The shop confirmed the glasses are prescription and declined to disclose the prescription details, calling it private medical information.
- The episode became the dominant social-media takeaway from the Senate session, fueling partisan exchanges and bringing a surge of attention to the niche Madrid retailer.
