A pair of vintage sunglasses finishes a look in one go. Round, oval or angular frames from earlier decades often have shapes you rarely see today. At Rumors Vintage & Design we hand-pick sunglasses for their frames, lenses and condition.
Deadstock refers to vintage items that were never sold or worn: they're old, but in as-new condition. It's something you come across fairly often with vintage sunglasses. Whether a pair is deadstock is always stated on the product page.
Sunglasses have always followed fashion closely. Cat-eye frames from the 50s and 60s, large oversized frames from the 70s, aviators, narrow rectangular frames from the 90s and shield styles from the Y2K era. What's online right now is shown above; also browse our other vintage accessories.
Vintage lenses don't always meet today's standards for UV protection. If in doubt, have the lenses checked by an optician. For every pair we honestly describe the condition of the frame and lenses, and list the measurements.
Cat-eye frames go well with a scarf in your hair from other accessories, oversized frames with a 70s dress from women's vintage and aviators with a leather jacket from men's vintage.
Vintage frames are often made of acetate or metal and can be narrower or wider than modern styles. That is why we list the measurements of the frame, lenses and arms. Compare them with a pair that fits you well; an optician can adjust the arms slightly if needed.
Keep your sunglasses in a case and never put them down on their lenses. Clean the lenses with lukewarm water and a microfibre cloth, not your shirt. If a screw comes loose, an optician can usually tighten it quickly.

That varies per pair and isn't always known. If in doubt, have the lenses checked by an optician.
