Q: What size are they and how do I know if they will fit me? A: Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the frame dimensions. To compare with a pair you already own, look for three numbers printed inside the temple (for example 51–21–145), which represent lens width, bridge width and temple length in millimetres.
Q: Can I fit prescription lenses into this frame? A: Yes. Most acetate frames, including the SL 28 shape, can be glazed with prescription sun or clear lenses by a qualified optician. Suitability depends on your prescription strength and the lens design/curvature—your optician can advise and ensure full UV protection.
Q: Can the fit be adjusted if they feel tight or slip? A: Yes. An optician can warm acetate gently and make small adjustments to the temples and frame front so the glasses sit level and secure. DIY heating can damage acetate, so professional adjustment is recommended.
Q: How should I clean and care for the frame and lenses? A: Rinse off dust with lukewarm water, use a drop of mild soap if needed, and dry with a clean microfibre cloth. Avoid alcohol, acetone, paper towels and abrasive fabrics. Store them in their hard case and never leave them in a hot car or near heat sources, as heat can warp acetate and damage lens coatings.
Q: Are brown lenses good for driving and everyday use? A: Brown tints enhance contrast and depth perception, which many drivers find comfortable in variable light. Note that polarised lenses can make some LCD screens (dash displays, fuel pumps) appear darker; if you rely on those screens, non‑polarised lenses may be more convenient.
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.

Delivery & Returns
Q: Do these sunglasses provide UV protection? A: Yes. Saint Laurent SL 28 lenses are designed to provide 100% UVA/UVB protection according to authorised retailers. If you later replace the original lenses with prescription ones, ask your optician to specify full UV protection on the new lenses.
Q: Are the lenses polarised? A: The listing does not state polarisation, so assume standard tinted lenses. Some Saint Laurent styles are available in both polarised and non‑polarised versions. To check at home, hold the lenses in front of an LCD screen (like a phone) and rotate them—if the screen darkens or blacks out at an angle, the lenses are polarised.
Q: What size are they and how do I know if they will fit me? A: Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the frame dimensions. To compare with a pair you already own, look for three numbers printed inside the temple (for example 51–21–145), which represent lens width, bridge width and temple length in millimetres.

Q: What is included with this item? A: This pair includes a case. Everything included is listed under the product information section; if an item is not listed there, it is not included. Feel free to contact us if you would like us to confirm the contents.
Q: Can the fit be adjusted if they feel tight or slip? A: Yes. An optician can warm acetate gently and make small adjustments to the temples and frame front so the glasses sit level and secure. DIY heating can damage acetate, so professional adjustment is recommended.

Avoid alcohol, acetone, paper towels and abrasive fabrics. Store them in their hard case and never leave them in a hot car or near heat sources, as heat can warp acetate and damage lens coatings.
Q: How can I confirm authenticity? A: Check for crisp, even Saint Laurent markings and a clean model/serial code on the inside of the temple. Engraving and print should be sharp and consistent. A Retro Tale authenticates every item using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, hardware and markings, and we stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell—ask us for further details if needed.
