Q: What does the size 52 x 20 x 140 mean? A: This is the frame size in millimetres: 52 mm lens width, 20 mm bridge width, and 140 mm temple length. If you already own sunglasses that fit you well, comparing those inside-arm measurements is the easiest way to judge whether this pair is likely to feel similar.
Q: Can I have prescription lenses fitted into these sunglasses? A: In many cases, yes. Acetate designer frames can often be reglazed with prescription lenses, but because this is a vintage pair, we recommend asking a qualified optician to inspect the frame first and confirm suitability before making any changes.
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.

If you already own sunglasses that fit you well, comparing those inside-arm measurements is the easiest way to judge whether this pair is likely to feel similar.
Q: What are the key design details of this pair? A: These Gucci sunglasses feature a black acetate frame, gradient lenses, and gold-tone hardware with a bee motif. The overall look is bold, polished, and distinctly vintage Gucci.
Q: What condition are these sunglasses in? A: They are listed in very good condition with light traces of use. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with careful pre-owned wear.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This pair comes with a case and dust bag, as listed in the product information. If you would like to double-check what is included before purchasing, the product information is the best reference.
Q: Are gradient lenses practical for everyday wear? A: Yes. Gradient lenses are darker at the top and lighter towards the bottom, which many people find useful for everyday wear because they help with overhead sun while keeping your lower field of vision a little lighter for tasks such as walking, reading a phone, or checking a dashboard.
Q: Can I have prescription lenses fitted into these sunglasses? A: In many cases, yes. Acetate designer frames can often be reglazed with prescription lenses, but because this is a vintage pair, we recommend asking a qualified optician to inspect the frame first and confirm suitability before making any changes.
Q: Do these sunglasses have confirmed UV protection? A: The listing confirms gradient lenses, but it does not specify a current UV rating. If confirmed UV performance is important for your intended use, it is best to have the lenses checked by a qualified optician before regular wear in strong sun.
Q: How should I care for vintage acetate sunglasses like these? A: Clean them gently with lukewarm water, a lens-safe cleaner if needed, and a microfibre cloth. Avoid paper towels, harsh chemicals, and placing the lenses face down. When not in use, store them in their case to help protect the frame and lenses.
Q: How do I know these Gucci sunglasses are authentic? A: Every item sold by A Retro Tale is authenticated by in-house experts as part of the company’s screening process. That makes pre-owned designer eyewear easier to shop with confidence, especially for vintage pieces where authenticity is a common concern.
