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: Do these Prada sunglasses provide UV protection? A: Yes. Prada eyewear lenses are designed to offer 100% UVA/UVB (UV400) protection. UV400 means blocking ultraviolet rays up to 400 nm for full eye protection. If you would like independent verification, any optician can quickly test the lenses with a UV meter.
Q: Are the lenses polarised? A: This pair is not listed as polarised, so you should assume non‑polarised. Prada produces both polarised and non‑polarised lenses; polarised lenses reduce glare from roads and water, which some wearers prefer for driving and outdoor use. If you want polarised lenses, an optician can usually fit polarised replacements to acetate frames, subject to prescription and curvature.
Q: Can these frames take prescription lenses? A: In most cases, yes. Acetate sunglasses like these can typically be glazed with prescription sun lenses by an optician. Suitability depends on your prescription strength and the lens base curve; your optician will advise and can also fit tinted, gradient, or polarised Rx lenses if desired.
Q: How do I read the size numbers? What does 140x54x17 mean? A: Eyewear sizing is usually written as lens width–bridge–temple (for example 54–17–140 mm). On this page the size is shown as 140x54x17, which corresponds to temple length 140 mm, lens width 54 mm, and bridge 17 mm—functionally the same three measurements, just listed in a different order.
Q: Are these sunglasses unisex and what face shapes do they suit? A: The oval 54 mm lens width is a versatile medium fit that suits many face shapes. The clean black acetate and subtle Prada logo make them easy to wear for most people regardless of gender; the key is your personal fit at the bridge and temples, so compare the measurements to a pair you already own.
Q: What comes with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information on this page. For this pair, it currently includes a box. If a case, cloth, or other item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How should I care for acetate frames and coated lenses? A: Rinse first with lukewarm water to remove dust, then use a drop of mild, lotion‑free soap on your fingertips and rinse again. Dry with a clean microfibre cloth. Avoid hot water, alcohol or ammonia‑based cleaners, and paper towels, which can damage lens coatings. Store the sunglasses in a protective case when not in use.
Q: How do you authenticate these sunglasses? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts via multi‑point checks of materials, logo placement, hinges, engraving/printing, and model/size codes. Authentic Prada sunglasses typically show a model code beginning with SPR (for sunglasses), size numbers (e.g., 54‑17‑140), and precise logo details; some models may also have subtle lens etchings. We’re happy to share additional photos or details on request.
Q: Where are Prada sunglasses made? A: Prada eyewear is produced by Luxottica under licence. Most Prada acetate sunglasses are made in Italy, and select premium lines are made in Japan. This specific pair is labelled Italy in the product information.
