Ideal for summer city breaks, al fresco lunches and seaside strolls, these vintage Fendi sunglasses in wine‑coloured acetate with grey lenses and gold‑tone accents bring understated glamour to casual denim or tailored looks from day to dusk.
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 vintage Fendi sunglasses offer UV protection? A: The lenses are grey tinted, but a UV rating is not specified in the product information. Only sunglasses labelled UV400 or 100% UVA/UVB guarantee full protection. Because this is a vintage pair, we recommend asking an optician to test the lenses for UV protection; you can also re‑lens them with certified UV400 lenses if desired.
Q: Are the lenses polarised? A: Polarisation is not stated. A grey tint does not automatically mean the lenses are polarised. Polarised lenses reduce glare from roads and water; you can ask an optician to check or perform a simple LCD‑screen test at home. If needed, replacement polarised lenses can be fitted to acetate frames.
Q: Can I fit prescription lenses into this frame? A: Yes—most quality acetate frames can be re‑lensed with prescription or non‑prescription lenses by a qualified optician, provided the lens curve and size are compatible. This is a common service for designer and vintage frames.
Q: How do I know if they will fit me? A: Look inside the temple for three numbers such as 54‑17‑130, which represent lens width, bridge width and temple length in millimetres. Compare these with a comfortable pair you already own. Based on our product information, the temple length is approximately 130 mm.
Q: Can an optician adjust the fit of acetate frames? A: Yes. Acetate temples and the bridge can be heat‑adjusted by an optician for a more secure and comfortable fit behind the ears and on the nose.
Q: How should I clean and care for them? A: Rinse with lukewarm water, use a drop of mild soap, and dry with a clean microfibre cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals like window cleaner, alcohol or ammonia. Store in a protective case and keep away from extreme heat, which can warp acetate or damage lens coatings.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. This pair is sold without additional items unless clearly stated.
Q: How do you authenticate Fendi sunglasses? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts. Typical Fendi markers include a model code (often beginning with F/FS) printed inside the temple, Made in Italy markings, CE conformity where applicable, and clean, consistent logos. Markings can vary by era; we are happy to provide close‑up photos on request.
Q: Are grey lenses good for everyday wear and driving? A: Grey lenses preserve natural colour balance and are comfortable in bright conditions, making them a versatile everyday choice. For driving near water or in strong glare, polarised lenses can further reduce reflected glare. Do not use sunglasses for night driving.
