Product Description
These vintage Valentino sunglasses feature a tortoiseshell frame, gold-tone hardware and brown tinted lenses. In very good condition with light traces of use, they are an elegant choice for sunny city days, weekend escapes or adding a warm, polished finish to everyday looks.
Q: How can I tell whether the fit will suit me? A: The best way is to compare any listed frame measurements with a pair you already wear comfortably. Sunglasses sizing is usually based on lens width, bridge width and temple length in millimetres, and these numbers are often printed on the inside of the arm.
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: What are the main details of these Valentino sunglasses? A: This vintage pair features a tortoiseshell frame, gold-tone hardware and brown tinted lenses, giving it a classic warm-toned look that works well for everyday styling.
Q: What condition are these sunglasses in? A: They are in Very Good condition with light traces of use. The hardware remains shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with gentle wear on a vintage piece.
Q: Do these sunglasses come with a case, box or cleaning cloth? A: The product information for this item states that no extra items are included, so an original case, box, cloth or authenticity card is not part of the sale unless otherwise stated on the product page.

Sunglasses sizing is usually based on lens width, bridge width and temple length in millimetres, and these numbers are often printed on the inside of the arm.
Q: Are brown tinted lenses good for everyday wear? A: Brown tinted lenses are a popular everyday option because they usually give warm contrast and a softer visual feel in bright conditions. Comfort is personal, so the best choice depends on how dark you like your lenses and where you plan to wear them.
Q: Are vintage sunglasses safe to wear in strong sunlight? A: Because this is a vintage pair, UV protection should not be assumed unless it has been recently tested. An optician can usually check the lenses and advise whether they are suitable for regular sun wear or whether replacement lenses would be a better option.
Q: Can the lenses be replaced with prescription or updated lenses? A: In many cases, yes, vintage sunglasses can be reglazed with prescription or updated sun lenses. A qualified optician should inspect the frame first, as older frames can be more delicate than modern ones.
Q: How should I care for vintage Valentino sunglasses? A: Clean the lenses with a microfibre cloth and a suitable lens cleaner, avoid paper tissues and harsh chemicals, and store them in a protective case when not in use. Try to keep them away from prolonged heat and direct sunlight to help preserve the frame finish and lens condition.
Q: How do you authenticate designer sunglasses like these? A: Authentic designer eyewear is checked for details such as branding, construction quality, materials, hinge finish and overall craftsmanship. At A Retro Tale, every item is vetted for authenticity before sale, so you can shop with confidence.
