Perfect for sunny city strolls and weekend getaways, these vintage Gucci sunglasses add refined flair from garden parties to seaside lunches. The blue and black oval acetate frame with grey tinted lenses complements daytime looks, while the subtle silver-tone G at the temples provides 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 do the size numbers 145x58x13 mean, and will they fit me? A: These are standard eyewear measurements in millimetres: 58 (lens width) – 13 (bridge width) – 145 (temple/arm length). Compare these to a pair you already wear comfortably; if your current frames are close to 58–13–145, these should offer a similar fit. The oval silhouette generally suits many face shapes.
Q: Do the lenses provide UV protection, and are they polarised? A: Gucci sunglasses are typically designed with 100% UV protection, but as this is a vintage pair with grey tinted lenses, the exact UV and polarisation specs are not stated in the listing. If you require UV400 or polarised lenses, most opticians can fit new lenses to the frame.
Q: Can I fit prescription or replacement lenses into these frames? A: Yes—most acetate frames can accept prescription or non-prescription replacement lenses. An optician can safely install new lenses; older acetate should be handled with care, but lens replacement is a routine service.
Q: Are these sunglasses unisex and which face shapes do they suit? A: The oval shape and medium-large 58 mm lens width make these a versatile, unisex style. Oval frames work well on many face shapes, softening angles on square features and balancing round faces.
Q: How should I clean and care for acetate frames and tinted lenses? A: Rinse with lukewarm water, use a drop of mild soap, then dry with a clean microfibre cloth. Avoid hot water, alcohol, acetone, household glass cleaners, paper towels, or rough fabrics, which can damage coatings and acetate.
Q: How can I verify they are authentic Gucci sunglasses? A: Authentic Gucci eyewear typically features clear temple markings (model code, colour code, sizing), quality engraving, and “Made in Italy” markings consistent with the era. Logos should be crisp and evenly applied. As with all items we sell, A Retro Tale conducts rigorous multi-point authentication before listing.
Q: What is included in the product information for this listing? A: The listing includes the sunglasses only. Any extras such as a case or cleaning cloth are included only if specifically stated in the product information. For this item, no extras are listed.
Q: What is the condition of this pair? A: Very Good overall with light signs of use. The hardware is shiny with light surface scratches, and minor wear may be visible under close inspection—please review the photos for exact details.
Q: Where are they made? A: This pair is labelled Made in Italy.
Q: Can the fit be adjusted if they feel loose or tight? A: Yes. An optician can warm the acetate gently to adjust the temple arms for a more secure, comfortable fit. Avoid attempting heat adjustments at home to prevent warping or damage.
