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 Céline sunglasses? A: This pair is the Shadow style, model CL4001IN 01D, in black acetate with silver-tone stud detailing and gradient polarised lenses. They are a vintage Céline design with a bold, statement look.
Q: What does the size 58x16x150 mean? A: These numbers are the frame measurements in millimetres: 58 mm lens width, 16 mm bridge width and 150 mm temple length. In practical terms, this is a larger fashion size and usually suits shoppers who like fuller coverage or an oversized fit.
Q: Are the lenses polarised? A: Yes. This pair has gradient polarised lenses, which are designed to help reduce glare from reflective surfaces such as roads, water and glass while still giving a softer shaded effect through the lens.
Q: Are they a good option for daytime driving? A: They can be, as polarised lenses are popular for cutting road glare in bright daylight. Do note that, as with many polarised lenses, some digital screens or dashboards may appear darker at certain angles.
Q: What condition are these sunglasses in? A: They are listed in very good condition. The lenses have small scratches, the frame shows light traces of use, and the shiny hardware has light surface scratches consistent with careful wear.
Q: Will the scratches affect wear? A: The listing describes the lens wear as small scratches rather than heavy damage. Many buyers are comfortable with minor vintage signs of use, but if you are very sensitive to lens marks or prefer pristine optics, it is worth keeping this in mind before purchasing.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included with the pair is shown in the product information on this page. For this item, no additional pieces are listed, so a case, box or cloth should not be expected unless separately stated.
Q: How should I care for acetate frames and polarised lenses? A: Clean them gently with a soft cloth, and if needed use mild soap and water. Avoid alcohol, acetone and abrasive cleaners, and store them in a protective pouch or case in a dry place when not in use to help prevent further marks.
Q: Where were these sunglasses made? A: The country of origin label for this pair states Italy.
Q: Are these authentic Céline sunglasses? A: A Retro Tale carefully vets its designer pieces for authenticity before sale. This pair is presented as an authentic vintage Céline item, and the model reference for this design is Shadow CL4001IN 01D.
