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 numbers 68-13-115 mean on these sunglasses? A: These are the frame measurements in millimetres: 68 mm lens width, 13 mm bridge width, and 115 mm temple (arm) length. Compare these with a pair you already find comfortable to assess fit. Temple lengths on many modern frames are typically around 120–150 mm, so 115 mm is on the shorter side—please check our Measurements and photos for reference.
Q: Do the gradient lenses block UV light? A: A gradient tint does not automatically guarantee UV protection. Many designer lenses do include UV protection, but if UV400 is important to you, please confirm before purchase or have an optician check with a lens meter. Replacement UV-protective lenses can usually be fitted by a professional if needed.
Q: Are the lenses polarised? A: The listing specifies gradient lenses. Polarisation is a separate lens feature and would be clearly stated in the product information if present. If it isn’t noted there, please assume these are non‑polarised.
Q: Are rimless sunglasses more delicate than full‑rim styles? A: Rimless designs are lightweight and comfortable but generally require a bit more care because the lenses are directly mounted to the hardware. Avoid drops, torsion, and putting them lens‑down; store them in a protective case when not in use.
Q: Can I fit prescription or new tinted lenses into this frame? A: Often, yes. Rimless (drill‑mount) frames can accept new lenses, but it is a specialist job and not every lab offers it. A qualified optician can advise on feasibility and recommended materials; please note there is a small inherent risk of damage when refitting lenses in vintage frames.
Q: What exactly is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information on this page. If an item such as a case, cloth, or box is not shown there, it is not included.
Q: How should I clean and care for the lenses and frame? A: Rinse with lukewarm water, add a drop of lotion‑free washing‑up liquid, gently clean, and dry with a clean microfibre cloth. Avoid alcohol, acetone, household glass cleaners, and paper towels, which can damage coatings. Always store in a protective case and avoid high heat (e.g., a hot car).
Q: How can I check the authenticity details on Gucci eyewear? A: Authentic Gucci eyewear typically shows a model code, colour code, and size printed on the inside temple, alongside the Gucci logo and “Made in Italy”. Gucci glasses do not use a traditional unique serial number; instead, the model and size codes serve as the key identifiers. As with all our pieces, A Retro Tale has authenticated this item.
Q: Where were these made? A: Italy. The inside arm is marked “Made in Italy”, and this aligns with the country of origin on our product information.
Q: Are gradient lenses good for driving and everyday wear? A: Yes, many people like gradients for daily use because the darker upper tint helps with overhead sun while the lighter lower portion keeps the dashboard and close‑up view clear. Just ensure the lenses provide adequate UV protection for your needs.
