Perfect for sun-soaked city strolls, alfresco brunches and seaside escapes, these vintage Gucci sunglasses add instant polish to any look. The black oversized square acetate frames and grey gradient lenses offer chic versatility, while gold-tone accents and signature GG temples lend refined flair from weekday commutes to weekend getaways.
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 measurements 51-22-140 mean on these frames? A: They refer to lens width 51 mm, bridge width 22 mm, and temple (arm) length 140 mm. This helps you compare fit with pairs you already own. The oversized square silhouette offers fuller coverage and a bold look.
Q: Will the oversized square shape suit my face? A: Square frames typically flatter round, oval, and heart-shaped faces by adding structure, and can also work on larger square faces for a statement look. If your features are petite, expect a deliberately oversized, fashion-forward fit.
Q: Are the lenses UV protective, and does the gradient affect protection? A: The lenses are grey gradient. Gradient tint doesn’t reduce UV protection; what matters is the UV rating (e.g., UV400). As this is a vintage piece, the exact rating may not be printed—your optician can test them or fit new UV400 lenses if required.
Q: Are the lenses polarised? A: The product information lists grey gradient lenses but does not specify polarised lenses. Gradient lenses reduce brightness from above, while polarised lenses cut horizontal glare (e.g., from water or roads). If you need polarised lenses, an optician can fit suitable replacements.
Q: Can I fit prescription lenses or replace the current lenses? A: Yes—acetate frames like these are usually suitable for reglazing. Many opticians and specialist labs can install prescription lenses or swap to non‑prescription UV400 or polarised lenses, subject to frame assessment.
Q: How can I adjust the fit if they feel loose or sit unevenly? A: An optician can quickly adjust acetate temples for a tailored fit. For light tweaks at home, warm the temple tips briefly with lukewarm water before gently bending; avoid force and high heat. Tightening hinge screws can also help. If unsure, seek professional help to prevent damage.
Q: How should I care for acetate frames and gradient lenses? A: Rinse lenses with lukewarm water and wipe with a clean microfibre cloth. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners, tissues, and clothing that may scratch. Keep away from heat (e.g., car dashboards) and chemicals like perfumes or hairspray. Store them in the case when not in use.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This pair comes with a Gucci case and dust bag. Everything included is listed under the product information on this page; if an item isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: Are these sunglasses unisex? A: Yes. The black oversized square design suits a wide range of face shapes and personal styles. Fit and proportion are the most important factors—check the measurements and our photos to gauge scale.
Q: What is the condition and origin of this pair? A: Condition is Very Good with light signs of use; hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches. The inner arm is stamped Made in Italy, as noted in the product information.
