Perfect for a sunny city escape or a chic weekend brunch, these Gucci sunglasses elevate any look with their black acetate frame, sleek double bridge and blue gradient lenses. Finished with black temples accented by a subtle red detail and Gucci logo, they bring refined style to holidays, weddings, and everyday outings alike.
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 mean and will these fit me? A: Eyewear is usually sized with three numbers for lens width, bridge width and temple length in millimetres. The size shown on this page is 145 × 52 × 21 mm, which in standard eyewear terms typically corresponds to 52–21–145 (lens–bridge–temple). For the best idea of fit, compare these to a pair you already wear comfortably.
Q: Do the lenses provide UV protection? A: Gucci sunglasses are crafted with 100% UV protection. The blue gradient tint changes how much visible light passes through but does not remove UV filtering. If you ever replace the lenses, ask your optician for UV400 protection.
Q: Are the lenses polarised? A: Polarisation is not stated for this pair. Gradient lenses are often non‑polarised unless specifically marked. If you require polarised lenses to cut heavy glare (e.g. on water or bright roads), an optician may be able to fit polarised prescription or non‑prescription lenses to this frame.
Q: Are gradient lenses suitable for driving? A: Many drivers like gradient lenses because the darker upper area helps with overhead sun while the lighter lower area keeps the dashboard clear. For very intense glare, polarised lenses can be preferable. For road use, sunglasses should be in lens categories 0–3; very dark Category 4 lenses are not suitable for driving.
Q: Can I fit prescription lenses into these acetate frames? A: In most cases, yes. Quality acetate frames like these can often be glazed with single‑vision or progressive prescription sun lenses. Because this is a pre‑owned piece, your optician will first check the frame’s condition and curvature to confirm compatibility before cutting lenses.
Q: Can the fit be adjusted (temples, nose area, double‑bridge)? A: Yes—opticians routinely make small heat‑assisted adjustments to acetate temples and frame fronts for comfort and alignment. We do not recommend DIY heating at home, as excessive heat can warp acetate or affect lens coatings.
Q: How should I clean and care for them? A: Rinse under lukewarm water, add a tiny drop of lotion‑free dish soap, gently rub with clean fingertips, rinse, then dry with a clean microfibre cloth. Avoid paper towels, alcohol/acetone cleaners and high heat (for example, a hot car), especially with gradient lenses and acetate frames.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this pair, the product information states a box is included. If a case or cloth is not listed there, it is not included—please review the photos for the full set.
Q: What condition should I expect? A: This item is graded Very Good, showing light traces of use with shiny hardware. Please review all images for close‑ups of any minor signs of wear—what you see is what you will receive.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate Gucci eyewear? A: Every item is carefully vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, logo and stamp details, hardware finishes and overall make. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share additional product information on request.
