vintage Revo 1110 010 sunglasses offer a perfect combination of
Revo's highly reflective blue mirror lens and matte black ear metal
stems and frame, explaining why they and companion lens shape or
stem variations such as 1110/001 and 1110/011 styles are clearly
in our top 3 most requested models of any vintage sunglasses regardless
of maker. The matte black ear stems have the Revo logo embossed
in the stem near each hinge point, and it makes a super cool contrast
color with the blue mirrored oval lens measuring approximately 1.875"
x 1.75" at the widest points. The nose bridge is thin and elegant
so as not to detract from the lens which are meant to be the focal
point, and the frame measures approximately 5.0" temple to
temple making them a great unisex style as men's or women's vintage
sunglasses. The inside of the ear stem is marked CE 1110/010 Frame
Japan, and the 2 celluloid ear stems are also original and marked
Revo. Aside from the obviously superb styling that's sure to get
you noticed, don't forget about Revo optical lens quality which
gives your eyes 100% UV protection in addition to looking great.
Vintage Revo 1110 sunglasses also share virtually every design feature
with Revo 962 sunglasses, and Revo 1110 and 962 models comprise
2 of the top 3 best selling vintage sunglasses styles at the Vintage
Sunglasses Shop. They are extremely hard to find and never last
long on the site, so we advise not delaying if this is the style
for you. Try

Indulge
the feline in you with about the most streamlined and extreme example
of French cat's eye sunglasses we've ever seen here! What more classic
cat's eye combination could there be than jet black cat eye frame
coupled with elongated green cat's eye lens, and this high quality
French design is sure to please. The design is classic and certain
to get a reaction from your friends and strangers, one of the ways
our shameless female staff here at the Vintage Sunglasses Shop likes
to get attention when they go out. Each of the lens measures approximately
1.75" x 1.0" at the widest points, and they're very elongated
so the lens narrows quite dramatically. The frame measures approximately
5.25" temple to temple, and they are of European vintage and
marked France on the ear stem. When these were unpacked from a major
estate collection of vintage sunglasses, we kid you not that there
were more than the usual number of MEOWS as they were circulated
among our staff. Try

Rare
and vintage Carrera Porsche Design gold and titanium silver aviator
sunglasses Model 5623 77 were made in Austria and are our personal
favorite of any combination of materials Carrera used as variations
on this classic style. Aside from the clearly striking frame, these
Carreras feature the brown lens combined with the light, two tone
gradient lens that has tints of brown and blue shading to almost
clear, photochromatic in its darkening properties in direct sunlight.
This classic design uses the center hinge between the two teardrop
lens to replace the lens, rising to allow the current lens to be
removed, the alternative lens inserted into small prongs on the
frame, and then clamping down the hinge to secure the lens. This
design provided a lot of flexibility to the owner with two complete
sets of lens, and the only drawback is that the clamp could leave
de minimus marks on the edge of the lens- which really doesn't matter
since you don't see them when on the frame. These vintage Carrera
Porsche Design 5623 sunglasses are rare in that you seldom see the
light gradient lens, particularly on the titanium silver and gold
frame. The alternative lens are stored in a velvet pouch which is
part of the original hard sided case, perfectly sized for their
sunglasses storage. The lens are all marked Porsche Design and measure
approximately 2.5" x 2.25" at the widest points, and the
frame measures 5.5" temple to temple. Fully and properly marked,
one ear bar is marked Porsche Design by Carrera along with the U.S.
patent number while the other is marked Made in Austria 5623 77
130 along with the serial number impressed in the metal of the frame.
Top quality sunglasses with unprecedented flexibility to change
lens to suit the occasion and the light conditions. Try

Very
hard to find and one of the best styles Revo ever produced, these
vintage Revo 973 007 sunglasses speak for themselves in the photos.
There's very little to say except WOW! We are partial to light tortoise
frames for sunglasses, and the combination here of light green tortoise
shell top frame accents and ear pads is really striking when set
against the Revo green mirrored lens, one of the best lens and best
colors ever made by Revo. Great vintage style just can't compare
with modern production at any of the major sunglasses companies,
and the 973/007 model is a good reason why. The highly reflective
green mirror lens measure approximately 1.75" x 1.75"
at the widest points and the frame measures 5.0" temple to
temple making them suitable as men's or women's sunglasses, often
true of vintage Revos. Both ear stems are marked with the Revo logo
impressed in the metal, and the inside of one stem is marked 973/007
Frame Italy. The celluloid nose pads are also original and marked
Revo. Vintage Revo 973 sunglasses reflect a very elegant style and
an accessory that will always hold its value, sometimes seen in
the market priced over $750. Try

Eclectic
and all handmade in Bavaria, these Alpina M3 sports driving German
sunglasses are vintage 1960s when West Germany was still separated
from East Germany. Without question, they embody high quality German
industrial design best known in cars but certainly holding true
in vintage German eyewear. The Alpina M3 has a high tech design
that couple a titanium silver aviator style frame with studded gold
bars that grace the tops of the lens. The M3 looks like serious
driving or sporting glasses, and that's exactly what they are. The
lens are blue gradient, darker at the top than the bottom and featuring
a blue tint that fades to almost a clear photochromatic. Always
well marked, the Alpina M3 has the Alpina logo embossed in the metal
at each hinge point on the ear stems, and the interior of one stem
is marked 2366310 141. When looking from behind, the upper left
corner of the frame is marked M3 and the upper right corner of the
frame is marked 60 []14. The right ear pad is marked Alpina on the
outside and Made in W. Germany on the inside, while the outside
of left ear bar is marked Handmade. These vintage Alpina aviator
sport sunglasses measure approximately 5.5" temple to temple,
and each teardrop lens measures approximately 2.25" x 2.0"
at the widest point. Alpina is known not only for its skiing eyewear
but also for its classic and flashy sunglasses. The Alpina M1 is
recognized as one of the most legendary vintage sunglasses ever
made and has been cult since the 80’s, and we believe the M3 from
the 1990s is even better. They come in the original hard sided marked
Alpina case with push to open closure, and it retains the original
Alpina tag that uses the former World Trade Center in New York as
the background for their marketing theme "Windows Of The World."

The
original classic! Early B&L Ray-Ban 10k gold filled aviator
shooter sunglasses c 1950s - 1960s is the real retro style everyone
is looking for today in the original Bausch & Lomb interpretation
of aviator sunglasses that date back to the mid 1930s. These are
a nice size for men and women, measuring approximately 5.25"
temple to temple and with lens measuring 2.25" x 2.125"
at the widest points. The 10k gold filled frame means that these
sunglasses will last for years and years, and the 10k production
dates to circa 1950s and 1960s. Another way to date these sunglasses
is the absence of the etched Ray-Ban logo on the green lenses, something
that B&L only began doing consistently circa early 1960s. These
vintage Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses also have the wire shooter ear
stems that give you a particularly flexible and secure fit that
comes in handy for active outdoor pursuits. Bausch & Lomb developed
Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses specifically for pilots in the late 1930s;
pilots needed a good pair of anti glare sunglasses, and the B&L
Ray-Ban design satisfied this requirement perfectly. The design
was modeled directly from goggles being worn by the US military
at the time, still standard issue for military pilots worldwide.
When we have them for sale, it's a rare opportunity to own a pair
of early gold filled aviator sunglasses with green pilot lens. These
vintage Ray-Ban 10k GF sunglasses are marked on the top of the nose
bridge B&L Ray-Ban U.S.A and under the nose bridge B&L 10k
GF USA. Try

Vintage
1950s cat eye sunglasses from France feature a satin finish taupe
with lovely carved detailing at the corners accented with aurora
borealis rhinestones and gold metallic bead accents. There's a lot
of other things to love about these vintage cat's eye sunglasses
starting with the extreme cat shape of the frame and lens coupled
with the contrast between the exterior taupe finish and the almost
white finish of the interior. You can't get more authentically 50s
retro than this style, and everyone here had a lot of fun trying
them on and snapping photos. The intricacy of the temples really
sets these off as well, and you don't see the combination of carving,
rhinestones and beads that adorn these at each temple. The frame
measures approximately 5.0" temple the temple, and the elongated
cat's eye green lens measure approximately 1.875" x 1.0"
at the widest points. The inside of one ear stem is marked Frame
France BH, and while we are not familiar with the specifics of the
BH origin it is a company's mark that we see frequently on the finest
French sunglasses from this period. Fun and stylish! Try

It's
not easy to find the Revo H20 polarized Photo lens, so we were happy
to find these vintage Revo 3022 093/ Y1 sunglasses with amber lens
and Italian made copper frame. You will note from the photos that
these Revos have a subtle wrap to the design, curving gently around
the face but not as extreme as Oakley and modern wrap style sunglasses.
We really like the color combination of the 3022 copper frame with
Revo H20 Photo amber lens, and the frame style makes them suitable
for a variety of activities including active, fast moving sports
where you need a style that more closely hugs the face. The right
lens is marked H20 Photo etched in the glass, and the inscribed
Revo logo is on each ear stem near the spring loaded hinge points.
One ear stem is marked Revo, Made in Italy, CE Polarized PHOTOCH,
and the other ear stem is marked 3022 093/Y1 61 []18 125. The slightly
brown H20 photo lens measure approximately 2.25" x 1.25"
at the widest points in a nicely elongated yet curved and wrapped
shape, and the frame measures approximately 5.5" temple to
temple. /225 |

One
of the most eye catching designs in vintage sunglasses you'll ever
see, the Cazal Model 195 sunglasses feature an incredible tiger
stripe motif, superb contrast between clear and colored areas of
the frame, unique hinges, and the always present Cazal West German
quality in this example of vintage eyewear c mid to late 1980s.
Every head will turn when you wear the Cazal 195 sunglasses, and
it's a rare design that we just don't see very often. Popular with
celebrities in music and movies, Cazal 195 sunglasses were made
for several years in Passau in West Germany from about 1986. Cazal
founder Cari Zalloni is a designer of outstanding reputation who
created Cazal sunglasses (a name derived by combining the first
syllables of his first and last names) which are known for an aggressive
styling, unique detailing, and quality craftsmanship. The founder
was quotes as saying that "a designer eyewear line that pleases
everyone is unlikely to inspire. Good design must be thought-provoking."
Alas, we digress. The frame measures approximately 5.25" temple
to temple while the lens measure approximately 2.0" x 1.675" at
the widest points. The interior of one ear stem is marked Mod 195
56 [] 10 Col 615 130 and the other is marked Frame W. Germany Cazal.
The Cazal logo is also on each ear stem near the hinge points. Vintage

Ray-Ban
made many great styles of sunglasses while part of Bausch & Lomb
and before being sold to Luxottica in 1999, but we don't like any
style better than classic and vintage B&L Ray-Ban Leathers sunglasses.
Always popular and unique, it's a sunglasses design that you just
don't see from any other manufacturer than Ray-Ban. The teardrop
shaped lens and aviator frame are wrapped in leather, in this case
a dark brown leather with black (on the front) and tan (on the ear
pads) stitching that covers the front of the glasses as well as
the ear pads. The gold plated frame is of typically high Ray-Ban
quality, and the Leather aviators use the classic aviator design
of a double gold nose bridge, the top of one covered in leather,
in between the B&L Ray-Ban G-15 lens. The contrast of the gold
plated metal with the leather is quite striking, and trust us (we
all tried them on) they look great on the face and, in the case
of our staff, was universally agreed to make us look much better
than we really do. The G-15 lens both have the inscribed BL logo
etched in the glass near the hinge points and measure approximately
2.25" x 2.0" at the widest points, and the right lens also has the
inscribed Ray-Ban logo. The bottom of the top nose bridge that's
leather covered on the top is marked underneath B&L Ray-Ban USA
impressed in the metal. It's a unique, one of a kind look plus great
UV eye protection with the vintage Bausch & Lomb lens. Try

Stylish
and elegant, the Revo 3009 086/61 Italian
frame features a thin tortoise front frame
holding Revo top of the line H2O polarized
brown lens. From the side, the tortoise
shell ear stems and brass hinges at the
temples really give these vintage Revo sunglasses
an understated yet eye catching fashion
look. It's a perfect unisex size with lens
measuring approximately 2.0" x 1.375"
at the widest points and frame measuring
approximately 5.25" temple to temple.
There's not much more to say about the look
as the pictures convey the sophisticated
style pretty well, and they would make a
great gift if you can't use them yourself.
The Revo lens is marked H2O in the glass,
one ear stem is marked Revo Made in Italy
CE Polarized, and the other stem is marked
3009 086/61 51 []19 135. The frame also
has the Revo logo impressed in the metal
of both ear stems at the hinge points. Everyone
here really likes tortoise shell vintage
sunglasses frames in general, but nobody
beats Revo's interpretation of the style
nor the quality of their polarized H2O lens.

Giorgio
Armani CB8224 vintage sunglasses are very hard to find and feature
a sleek combination of brushed gold metal with wide and uniquely
shaped tortoise shell ear stems which have the Armani logo in raised
metal at each hinge point. An eclectic Armani interpretation of
classic tortoise shell sunglasses, this frame is lower and sleeker
than the norm and provide a sharp contrast between the smaller round
lens and the wider tortoise shell ear stems. The oval brown lens
measure approximately 2.0" x 1.5" at the widest points,
and the frame measures 5.5" temple to temple. The inside of
one ear stem is marked Giorgio Armani while the other is marked

shell look, these are decidedly not preppy and way cooler. This

Vintage
Revo 1402 010 sunglasses feature a great shape with a brushed gold
metal frame and uniquely shaped Revo amber lens that combined make
for a super retro look that's cool and elegant. The brushed gold
metal frame features the Revo logo impressed in the metal at each
hinge point on the ear bars which are intricately etched all the
way down to make a real fashion statement. We particularly like
the way Revo made some of their vintage frames to extend out a small
distance from the end of the lens, with the lens itself diving down
from that point to enter into its gentle curve around the bottom
and back up to the other side. The etching and the brushed metal
are a stylish combination, making these perfect to wear at both
casual and more formal occasions. In addition to the Revo logo on
the ear bars and original nose pads, the interior of the ear bar
is marked 1402/010 Frame Japan. The lens measures approximately

3005 084 S62 sunglasses are one of the best sports sunglasses you'll

lens in a silver metal frame. It's a great look ready for high performance
and visual acuity from the Revo top of the line H20 polarized lens,
and the frame's subtle wrap around the face helps to protect the
side of the eyes from excess wind and sunlight. The style works
great as men's or women's sunglasses, and these are well marked
starting with the Revo logo at the hinge points of the gray ear
stems, the original celluloid nose pads, and H2O is inscribed on
the polarized Revo lens. Model, color, and size numbers are inscribed

Revo 1211 001 sunglasses are very hard to find and feature a black
etched Italian frame combined with blue H20 polarized and mirrored
Revo lens. The Revo 1211 style is best known for the unique shape
of the lens, an elongated oval in shape but with a larger and elongated
bottom curve that complements the more subtly curved top. It's a
really unique shape and overall just an eye catching style with
the black on blue mirror combination. There is etching that goes
down each ear stem along, around the lens, and across the center
nose bridge for some added design flair. That being said, it's not
an ostentatious look because extravagance would clash with the blue
Revo H20 lens to which the eye is naturally drawn. Each Revo H20
blue mirrored lens is highly reflective and measures 1.75"
x 1.5" at the widest points, and the frame measures 5.125"

A
unique style, Revo 961 005 sunglasses are extremely hard to find
and have a number of subtle design features that explain the popularity
if not the rarity. The front of the frame features a brushed gold
and slightly flared design, more angular than many Revo styles and
reminiscent in a way of vintage French cat's eye sunglasses from
the 1950s and 1960s. However, these Revo 961s are unique in that
the lens are framed by a thin tortoise shell band held in place
by an outer gold band, a perfect color complement and something
we can't recall seeing in any other style of vintage sunglasses.
The Revo lens are a particularly unusual shape in these sunglasses,
fairly flat on the top but totally rounded on the sides and bottom.
One of the most popular color, the Revo 961 005 sunglasses have
Revo amber / purple lens measuring approximately 2.125" x 1.65"
at the widest points that appear more brown in low light conditions
and completely purple in brighter sunlight. The hues of color that
come through are really eye catching, and they go great with the
gold and tortoise frame which measures approximately 5.5" temple
to temple. Each ear stem has the Revo logo near the hinge points,

These
early Revo 967 011 aviator sunglasses have polarized stealth mirrored
lens with great hues of purple and blue, a unique Revo interpretation
of the classic Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses style. From our perspective,
it's a winner! The 967 Revo sunglasses feature the stealth mirrored
Revo lens that looks light blue in low to moderate light but hues
of blue, purple, and the highly reflective mirror lens really kick
in when seen in direct sunlight. The brushed metal frame is of typical
Revo quality, perfectly finished and elegant not showy. These sunglasses
have spring loaded hinges, and the ear stems have the Revo logo
impressed in the metal at the 2 hinge points. This example also
retains the original celluloid nose pad also also marked Revo. These
are quite old so almost all of the marks on the ear stem have faded
to the point of obscurity, but through magnification you can make
out the mark Frame Italy and faint 967/011 model number. However,
we know this style well - not that we see it very often - so we
can confirm these as Revo 967 gunmetal aviators with the stealth
mirrored lens. The lens measure approximately 2.0" x 1.75"

and the area between the lens is smaller and separated by a circular
ring that aficionados call the bullet hole. These vintage Ray-Ban
outdoorsman Kalichrome shooter sunglasses have the cable temples
to provide a secure fit along with their cool utilitarian look.
The teardrop yellow Kalichrome lens measures approximately 2.375"
x 2.0" at the widest point, and the frame measuring approximately
5.25" temple to temple is marked Ray-Ban B&L 1/10 12k GF
impressed in the gold plated metal on top of the nose bridge. B&L
refers to this style and lens as "Gradient Density Sunglasses"
and notes in their period product literature that "these lenses
have been filled with a metallic coating to obtain a vertical density
gradation. This coating is hard and durable and, with reasonable
care, lenses will remain in good condition." Since we have
access to period B&L Ray-Ban product information and research,
we also thought it relevant to pass on B&L's recommendation
that you "make sure that this sun glass is properly aligned
horizontally before your eyes, so that equal densities are encountered
by both eyes." Everyone at the Vintage Sunglasses Shop gets
excited when we find Ray-Ban Kalichrome yellow shooters in good
condition, and we guarantee you will be astounded by the visual
acuity provided by these glasses or return them for a full refund.
