These vintage Chanel sunglasses feature a tortoiseshell frame, brown lenses and silver-tone hardware with the interlocking CC logo on the temples. In very good condition, they are an elegant choice for sunny city days, seaside lunches or adding a refined vintage touch to everyday looks.
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 size numbers 54 x 19 x 140 mean? A: They refer to the frame measurements in millimetres: 54 mm lens width, 19 mm bridge width, and 140 mm temple length. If you already own sunglasses that fit you well, comparing those numbers is the easiest way to judge the fit.
Q: What kind of fit should I expect? A: This size usually suits a medium fit, though face shape and preferred coverage can change how they feel. If you prefer a slightly more statement look, they may also work well on some medium-to-larger faces.
Q: What are the key design details of this pair? A: This pair features a tortoiseshell frame, brown lenses, silver-tone hardware, and the interlocking CC logo on the temples for a classic vintage Chanel look.
Q: What condition are these sunglasses in? A: They are in very good condition with light traces of use. The exterior and interior both show light wear, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This item comes with a box and case. Everything included is listed in the product information section.
Q: Where were these sunglasses made? A: The country of origin label states Italy.
Q: Are these sunglasses vintage? A: Yes, this pair is listed as a vintage Chanel design, which adds to its character and collectible appeal.
Q: Can I replace the lenses with prescription or new tinted lenses? A: Often yes, provided the frame structure is suitable. A qualified optician should assess the frame in person before any lens work, especially with vintage eyewear.
Q: Is the UV protection or polarisation level confirmed for this exact pair? A: The listing confirms brown lenses, but it does not specify a verified UV rating or whether the lenses are polarised. If this is important for your use, we recommend having the lenses checked by an optician before regular wear.
Q: How should I care for vintage sunglasses like these? A: Clean them gently with a soft microfibre cloth, keep them in the case when not in use, and avoid heat, perfumes, hairspray, and abrasive cleaners. For fit adjustments, it is best to use an optician rather than bending the frame at home.
Q: How do you authenticate pre-owned Chanel sunglasses? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by our experts using detailed checks of materials, construction, branding, and overall consistency. We stand behind the authenticity of the items we sell.
