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 style are these Saint Laurent sunglasses? A: These are the Saint Laurent SL 276 Mica 001 sunglasses, a cat-eye style in black acetate with grey tinted lenses and logo detailing at the temples. They are made in Italy and have a polished vintage look that works well as an everyday statement frame.
Q: What does the size 53 x 16 x 145 mean? A: These numbers refer to the lens width, bridge width and temple length in millimetres. In practical terms, 53-16-145 is usually considered an XS to small fit for this model, so it tends to suit narrow to medium faces best. If you already wear sunglasses in a similar size comfortably, this pair should feel familiar.
Q: Are these sunglasses suitable for smaller faces? A: Yes, they can be a very good option for smaller or narrower faces. The cat-eye shape gives presence without being excessively oversized, and this particular size is commonly sold as a smaller fit within the SL 276 Mica line.
Q: Do the lenses provide UV protection? A: Yes. The SL 276 Mica line is sold with 100% UVA/UVB protection. They are designed for bright daytime conditions, but like most darker sunglasses they are not suitable for driving at night or in twilight.
Q: Are the lenses polarised? A: The black and grey 001 version is generally listed as non-polarised, and this product information does not mention polarised lenses. That means you still get sun protection and classic tinted lenses, but not the extra glare reduction that polarised lenses provide.
Q: Can these sunglasses be fitted with prescription lenses? A: Yes. Saint Laurent lists this frame as compatible with prescription lenses, and authorised eyewear retailers also offer the model with prescription glazing. This pre-owned pair is being sold with its current lenses, so any prescription change would need to be arranged separately through your optician.
Q: What condition are these sunglasses in? A: This pair is listed in very good vintage condition overall. The product details note small scratches externally, light traces of use, and shiny hardware with light scratches. As always with pre-owned eyewear, it is worth checking the photos carefully if you are sensitive to lens or frame wear.
Q: What is included with this pair? A: The product information for this listing indicates that no additional items are included, so you should expect the sunglasses only. When sold new, this model is often supplied with a case and cleaning cloth, but those are not listed with this specific item.
Q: How should I clean and store them? A: Clean them gently with a damp cloth and mild neutral detergent, then dry them with a soft clean cloth. Avoid alcohol, acetone and harsh chemical cleaners, and do not leave them in high heat such as on a car dashboard. For best longevity, store them in a protective case when not in use.
Q: Can the small scratches be repaired? A: Light wear can sometimes be acceptable in day-to-day use, but sunglass lens scratches are difficult to truly polish out without risking further damage to the lens surface. If the marks bother you, the safest option is usually to ask an optician about lens replacement rather than trying home repair methods.
