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 59-16-130 mean on this pair? A: They are the frame measurements in millimetres: 59 mm lens width (each lens), 16 mm bridge width (across the nose), and 130 mm temple length (arm length). Use a ruler to compare with a pair you already wear to gauge fit.
Q: Do the lenses offer UV protection? A: Prada’s sun lenses are typically specified as providing 100% UVA/UVB protection on current models. UV protection is independent of how dark the lens looks; look for UV400/100% UVA-UVB labelling or ask an optician to test if you need confirmation for this vintage pair.
Q: Are the lenses polarised? A: The product information lists brown gradient lenses but does not state polarisation, so you should assume they are not polarised. Prada does produce polarised options on some models, but unless it is explicitly stated, lenses should be considered non‑polarised.
Q: Are gradient lenses good for driving? A: Yes, gradient tints are darker at the top to cut overhead glare while the lighter lower section helps you read the dashboard. For intense glare on water or snow, a darker polarised lens may be preferable. Always prioritise UV protection regardless of tint.
Q: Can an optician fit prescription lenses into this frame? A: Usually yes. Acetate frames like this are commonly compatible with prescription (graduated) lenses, subject to your prescription and the frame’s condition. Your optician can advise on lens thickness and options such as prescription sun lenses with a gradient tint.
Q: How does this size tend to fit? A: With a 59 mm lens width, this frame suits medium‑to‑larger faces or an intentionally oversized look. If your current sunglasses are, for example, around 55–57 mm and fit snugly, expect these to feel a touch wider.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information. For this piece, only the sunglasses are included; no extras are specified.
Q: How should I care for acetate frames and gradient lenses? A: Rinse with lukewarm water, add a drop of mild soap, and dry with a clean microfibre cloth. Avoid alcohol, acetone, household cleaners, and high heat (e.g., a hot car). Store in a protective case and have any adjustments made by a professional optician.
Q: Can the nose fit be adjusted on acetate frames? A: Acetate frames have integrated nose rests (not metal pad arms), so the fit is adjusted by gently heating and shaping the temples and bridge—this should be done by an optician. Stick‑on pads can be added if you have a low bridge.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is inspected by in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, markings and logos. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
