Perfect for city strolls, garden parties or seaside weekends, these vintage Céline Triomphe sunglasses exude effortless polish. A rimless, silver-toned frame and lightly tinted gradient lenses offer understated glamour, while Triomphe logo temples provide a signature finish.
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 is the Triomphe detail on these sunglasses? A: The Triomphe is Céline’s signature double‑C motif, inspired by the chain around Paris’s Arc de Triomphe and revived in recent collections. On this pair, it appears as a logo detail on the temples, adding a subtle heritage touch.
Q: Do the lenses provide full UV protection and are they polarised? A: Céline sunglasses are made with lenses that provide 100% UVA/UVB protection. Polarised lenses are available on certain models, but they are not standard across the range; this pair is described with lightly tinted gradient lenses and is not listed as polarised.
Q: What lens tint category are Triomphe sunglasses and are they suitable for driving? A: Triomphe models typically use category 2 or 3 tints depending on the specific version. These categories are suitable for general daylight use and everyday driving in normal conditions. Gradient tints offer a darker upper zone for glare reduction and a lighter lower zone for visibility of dashboards and screens.
Q: Are the nose pads adjustable and how can I improve the fit? A: Yes. As a rimless metal frame, these feature adjustable nose pads that can be fine‑tuned by an optician for a more secure and comfortable fit. Small adjustments to pad angle and width can reduce slipping and improve balance on the bridge.
Q: Can I fit prescription lenses or replace the lenses in this frame? A: Many designer sunglasses can be fitted with prescription or replacement lenses. Because rimless lenses form part of the frame structure, any re‑lens should be done by an experienced optician who can match the shape, drill points and thickness to maintain integrity. Very high prescriptions or unusual lens shapes may limit feasibility—please consult your optician first.
Q: What materials are the lenses typically made from? A: Céline often uses high‑quality CR‑39 lenses on many styles, valued for optical clarity and scratch resistance, though materials can vary by model. This pair features lightly tinted gradient lenses as shown in the photos and description.
Q: Where are Céline Triomphe sunglasses made? A: Céline sunglasses are produced in Italy, reflecting the brand’s focus on premium materials and precise construction.
Q: What is included with this item? A: As listed under product information, this pair comes with a case. If you need anything else, please contact us before purchase.
Q: How should I care for rimless metal sunglasses? A: Rinse with lukewarm water, use a small drop of mild soap, and dry with a clean microfibre cloth. Avoid household cleaners, alcohol‑based products and extreme heat (for example, a car dashboard). When cleaning rimless frames, hold the lenses near the outer edges rather than the bridge, and store the sunglasses in their case when not in use.
Q: How can I spot key signs of authenticity on Céline Triomphe sunglasses? A: Look for precise, clean branding on the temples, a clear model and size code on the inner arm, consistent high‑quality finishing, smooth hinge action and the correct “Made in Italy” marking. Purchasing from a trusted specialist like A Retro Tale ensures the item has been professionally authenticated.
