Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What do the size numbers 59-19-145 mean on these Dior sunglasses? A: They refer to three key measurements in millimetres: 59 mm lens width, 19 mm bridge width, and 145 mm temple (arm) length. Compare these to a pair you already own for an idea of fit.
Q: What is Optyl and why is it used for the frame? A: Optyl is a high‑quality thermosetting epoxy resin used in premium eyewear. It is lightweight, hypoallergenic, colourfast and has a shape‑memory effect for comfort and longevity. Adjustments should be performed professionally using controlled heat.
Q: Can I fit prescription or new UV400 lenses into this frame? A: In many cases yes. Opticians can usually glaze prescription or non‑prescription replacement lenses into Optyl frames, but suitability is assessed case‑by‑case. Because Optyl needs specific heating to insert lenses, always use a qualified optician.
Q: Do the existing grey lenses provide full UV protection? A: As this is a vintage pair, UV protection may not be labelled. The most reliable way to check is to ask an optician to test the lenses with a photometer/spectrophotometer. If needed, you can have new UV400 (or polarised) lenses fitted.
Q: How should I clean and care for the lenses and frame? A: Rinse with lukewarm water, use a tiny drop of mild, lotion‑free dish soap, then dry with a clean microfibre cloth. Avoid hot water, paper towels, and harsh chemicals like ammonia, alcohol or acetone, which can damage coatings. Store in the case when not in use and keep away from prolonged heat (e.g., a hot car).
Q: Can the fit be adjusted if the temples feel loose or tight? A: Yes, but only by a professional. Optyl requires specific heating to adjust and has a memory effect that returns it to its original shape if not handled correctly. Do not attempt home adjustments.
Q: Will the 59 mm lens width suit my face size? A: 59 mm typically gives a bolder, slightly oversized look on many faces. The 145 mm temples are a common adult length. For best results, compare these numbers to a comfortable pair you already own and review the photos for proportions.
Q: Are these sunglasses unisex? A: The cat‑eye silhouette has historically been marketed to women, but style is personal. If the measurements and look suit your taste, anyone can wear them confidently.
Q: What is included in the product information for this item? A: This pair comes with a Dior case and a box. Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If an item isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: What condition should I expect on arrival? A: Graded Very Good, showing light traces of use consistent with careful wear. Hardware is shiny with minimal or no scratches. Please review all images for close‑ups before purchasing.
