Authenticity:
Vintage sunglasses are counterfeited just like
antiques and collectibles, and Asian reproductions
and seller misrepresentations are all too common
in the market. Our experts verify the period authenticity
of every pair of antique and vintage sunglasses
we sell.
Description
& Photographs: We write detailed descriptions
and give perspectives for all vintage sunglasses
for sale on our web site. We include plenty of
pictures that show you the sunglasses and marks
in great detail and from a variety of angles.
In general, we include a few model shots to show
you how the sunglasses look on male and female
faces.
Condition:
Perfect condition is elusive in vintage sunglasses
just like anything else with any real age or use.
That being said, we vet every item to ensure that
all of our vintage sunglasses are in excellent
vintage condition with no damage and nothing that
impairs the vision. We guarantee you're buying
authentic vintage sunglasses that can be readily
worn and enjoyed, highly collectibles styles that
will hold their value over years to come.
Brands:
We specialize in vintage Ray Ban, Revo, Armani,
Porsche Carrera, Cazal, Persol, Alpina, Vuarnet,
and Bolle sunglasses along with select styles
and years from Oakley, Oliver Peoples, Arnette,
vintage aviator sunglasses, pilot and motorcycle
steampunk goggles, and a few antique sunglasses.
We also like cool retro vintage 1950's and 1960's
cat's eye sunglasses made in France. We don't
particularly like designer sunglasses where the
designer logo or name is the dominant style feature
of the design.
Site
Layout: While you can shop for vintage sunglasses
by brands like Revo,
Ray-Ban,
Armani,
Carrera,
Cazal,
and Alpina,
we think it's fun to explore
our selections of different brands and styles
to find something new and unexpected.
Age:
Most of our vintage sunglasses are unisex styles
of 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's sunglasses.
We believe these were the golden years of sunglasses,
evident in the styling along with higher frame
and lens quality & diversity from this period.
Inventory:
Most of our vintage sunglasses are one of a kind,
most with only a single pair in inventory at any
point in time. We replenish inventory as opportunities
arise, but it is difficult to find authentic examples
of these rare styles and years in good condition.
Buying vintage sunglasses is different than buying
new sunglasses in that you may very well never
see the same model for sale again.
Shipping
& Handling: Vintage Sunglasses Shop and
all Collectics Group online shopping sites are
proud to offer free
shipping & handling and no sales taxes.
Return
Policy: If you're not happy with your purchase,
you can return it for a full refund in the same
condition. Collectics Group companies have been
widely recognized as top web sites to buy antique
and vintage merchandise since 1998. We want you
to be happy with your purchase and tell your friends
about us much more than any sale.
Can't Decide?
If you can't decide which brand or style best suits
your face and lifestyle, contact
us and send us your picture. Our experienced
staff will gladly make some personalized recommendations
of sunglass brands and styles for you to consider.
