Made in Italy, these vintage Burberry sunglasses are perfect for city breaks and seaside holidays. The beige oversized square frame and brown gradient polarised lenses elevate daytime looks, while gold-tone details and the Burberry logo on the arms add a polished touch - ideal from brunch terraces to sunset strolls.
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 size are these and will they fit me? A: This pair is noted as size 55 and measures approximately 14.3 cm wide and 6 cm high. In eyewear sizing, 55 usually refers to the single‑lens width in millimetres and suits most medium to larger fits. Compare the 55 marking and our listed width to a favourite pair you already own for the best reference.
Q: Do the lenses provide full UV protection? A: Yes. Burberry sunglasses are designed with lenses that provide 100% UV protection to help shield your eyes from UVA and UVB rays.
Q: Are the lenses polarised—what difference will I notice? A: Yes, these feature brown gradient polarised lenses. Polarised filters reduce harsh reflected glare from surfaces like wet roads and water, improving visual comfort and contrast. The gradient tint is darker at the top to cut overhead light and lighter at the bottom for clearer view of dashboards and phones.
Q: Are they suitable for driving? A: For daytime driving, polarised lenses are helpful because they cut glare from the road and bonnet. As a general rule, most motorists are best served by Category 3 sun lenses for bright conditions; avoid very dark Category 4 for road use and never wear tinted lenses for night driving. Gradient tints can be practical in cars because the lighter lower portion keeps instruments clear.
Q: Can I fit prescription lenses into these frames? A: Often yes. The acetate frame and 55 mm lens width typically accommodate prescription sun lenses (single‑vision or varifocal), but suitability depends on your prescription and the optician’s lab. Take the frame to your local optician for confirmation and lens options.
Q: How can I check authenticity details on Burberry sunglasses? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts. Typical Burberry eyewear markings include a model code (e.g., B/BE followed by numbers such as B4363) with size and colour on the inner arm, Burberry branding, country of origin (Made in Italy), and a CE conformity mark. Quality of materials, hinge action and clean, precise logos are also good indicators. We are happy to provide additional photos of any markings on request.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This pair comes with box, case, dustbag and cleaning cloth, as listed in the Accessories section.
Q: How should I care for the acetate frame and lenses? A: Rinse with lukewarm water and use a drop of mild soap, then dry with a clean microfibre cloth. Avoid acetone, alcohol and household glass cleaners, which can damage coatings and acetate. Store them in the case and keep away from high heat (for example, a hot car dashboard).
Q: Can the fit be adjusted if they feel loose or tight? A: Yes. Acetate frames can be fine‑tuned by an optician using gentle heat for a secure, comfortable fit. We recommend professional adjustment to avoid stressing the frame or lens coatings.
Q: Which face shapes suit an oversized square style? A: Oversized square frames tend to flatter round and oval faces by adding structure and balance, but they can work on many face shapes depending on personal style. If in doubt, compare the listed measurements to a pair you like, or try similar dimensions to test the look and fit at home.
