These pre-owned Céline sunglasses in tortoiseshell acetate feature brown tinted lenses and gold-tone logo detailing on the temples. In very good condition with light traces of use, they are an elegant choice for sunny city days, weekend outings or adding a polished finish 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 markings 52 x 21 x 145 mean? A: These numbers refer to the lens width, bridge width and temple length in millimetres. In practical terms, 52 mm is the width of one lens, 21 mm is the bridge, and 145 mm is the arm length. If you already wear sunglasses in a similar size comfortably, this pair is more likely to suit you as well.
Q: What is the style of these Céline sunglasses? A: This pair features a tortoiseshell acetate frame, brown tinted lenses and gold-tone logo detailing on the temples. The overall look is polished and easy to wear, with a warm brown palette that pairs well with both casual and smarter outfits.
Q: What condition are these sunglasses in? A: They are listed in very good pre-owned condition with light traces of use. The frame and overall condition are marked very good, and the metal details remain shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with the item? A: No extra items are included with this pair. Based on the product information, a case, box, cloth or card is not included unless otherwise stated on the listing.
Q: Are brown tinted lenses a good choice for everyday wear? A: Brown tinted lenses are a popular everyday option because they give a softer look than very dark black lenses and complement the tortoiseshell frame nicely. For this pair, the exact lens technology is not specified, so it is best to shop based on the listed style, fit and condition.
Q: How should I care for acetate Céline sunglasses? A: Clean them gently with a soft cloth and mild soap if needed, then dry them with a clean soft cloth. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners, harsh chemicals and high heat, and keep them stored in a protective case when not in use to help preserve the frame and lenses.
Q: Can the fit be adjusted if needed? A: Acetate frames can often be adjusted slightly by a professional optician for a better fit. Because this is a pre-owned designer pair, we would recommend having any adjustment done professionally rather than trying to bend the frame at home.
Q: Can I have prescription lenses fitted? A: In many cases, acetate sunglasses can be re-lensed by an optician, but suitability depends on the frame shape, lens curve and your prescription. If you are planning to reglaze them, it is best to check with your optician before purchase.
Q: How can I feel confident buying pre-owned Céline sunglasses? A: Pre-owned designer sunglasses can be an excellent way to buy authentic luxury at a more accessible price point. The key things to check are the fit, condition, lens clarity, included product information and overall style, all of which are outlined on this product page.
