Gucci sunglasses
Fashion historians claim that the first sunglasses were worn by patricians in ancient Rome. They used thin plates of emeralds and other precious stones as lenses. Since then, this subject has undergone many changes and continues to change. Every season, eminent couturiers come up with new details for decoration.

- Gucci Flora with butterfly. The most famous and most recognizable collection of the brand. These are aviator glasses with a square shape and no frame. A small white metal-colored butterfly seemed to have just fluttered from a flower and modestly sat down to rest before a big journey on the glass of the glasses. This collection was created back in 1966, but interest in it has not diminished to this day. Original Flora glasses come with a white case, decorated with the same pattern as the glasses themselves.
- Sunglasses - aviators in a metal or plastic frame. A distinctive feature of this type is the presence of a double bridge in the bridge of the nose and lenses with a "gradient" effect - the color transition from dark at the top to lighter at the bottom. Such lenses are able to muffle excessively bright sunlight falling from above. And all other objects on the ground remain natural. The glasses are presented in brown tones in combination with white and golden hues.
- Aviators in the same metal frame, but complemented by a chain in a marine style.The arms of the glasses are decorated with acetate silk, so these models are recommended for warm climates. The main color of the collection is mocha coffee.
- With a square frame. At a cursory glance, it seems that their appearance resembles classic aviators. The invariable logo of the Gucci brand, as well as on all glasses, adorns the temples. However, upon closer examination, you can see that the corners of the frame of this model are slightly beveled. This softens some of the roughness of the forms.
There are also gradient colors here: blue and black. Also, these glasses can be executed in red-brown, as well as blue-white marine theme.
- Oval shape. This model is characterized by the presence of oval lenses and frames made of acetate fabric. It is good to work with such material - it is malleable and allows you to give it any shape and any shade. Such frames are quite popular and have a relatively low cost. The disadvantages of this material can be its low wear resistance. In places of contact with the face, greasy traces may remain.
- With hearts. These glasses break popularity records. They are square in shape and framed in acetate. The arms are decorated with decors in the form of cute hearts. Such frames are most often chosen by young and romantic persons.
- In a leather frame. The feature of this model is that the frame is covered with natural thin leather. Square-shaped glasses with a bridge on the bridge of the nose appear before the consumer in ascetic black-gray and light brown tones.
- Tortoiseshell glasses. These glasses are characterized by the presence of coordinated clips on the bridge of the nose. The frame of this model is yellow, made of acetate.
- Glasses GG 3513/S QJ9/LI. Collection 2012 is made of innovative material - optile.This material is hypoallergenic, lightweight, resistant to cosmetics and sweat. If such a frame has lost its shape, it is enough to heat it up and it will recover. The butterfly-shaped frame is raven-winged. The temples are adorned with a golden bead and the obligatory logo.
New collection
For the upcoming new season, Gucci designers offer two main directions. This is a variety of unusual frame shapes and no less diverse palette of glasses. Designers decided to surprise the fair sex with special glasses with colored glasses to match the clothes. Now even the most capricious princesses will be able to decorate their look with glasses to match the color of the dress. This accessory will be the final touch to complete the look.
A kaleidoscope of colors and various overflows from dark to light adds zest to simple forms. A striking example is purple rimless glasses from the latest Gucci collection. They make more than one woman's heart beat in ecstasy and grab the purse of the strong half of humanity in order to please their lady of the heart. The new Gucci collection also features simple colored-rimmed sunglasses that seem to be made to revive everything around after a long lethargic sleep.
Gucci's eyewear collection can be seen in the Garden series. It is characterized by models with unusual shades of glass: the color of the first green, delicate violet, touching yellow mimosa, tea rose and sky blue. It looks amazing, fresh, bright and extraordinarily beautiful. A real riot of colors.
Like a greeting from the distant 70s of the last century, flirty teardrop-shaped and brutal square frames of various colors have come back into fashion. Like ice and fire, hard metal and brittle plastic clashed in this strange battle for supremacy.
However, one should not think that Gucci has completely departed from the old traditions. The original frames of the usual rectangular, square shapes, as well as "cat's eyes" (well, where without them) or "butterfly wings" still have a place to be, and still adorn the catwalks of fashion houses in Milan and Paris.
Designers are constantly looking for non-standard solutions and combine lenses of one shape (circle, square, trapezoid) and frames of a completely different shape. It looks bold, sometimes too extravagant, but quite patriarchal. All this allows you to combine them with ordinary everyday things.
In addition to searching for new forms, the fashion designers of the legendary Gucci fashion house stand up for the preservation of the environment. This prompted them to create a collection of glasses with liquid wood frames and mineral glasses.
How to recognize a fake
When buying a fashion accessory from a famous brand, it is often very difficult to recognize whether we are holding the original or a high-quality, but fake one?
- Full set. The first and most common sign that you have a fake is the lack of additional accessories. Genuine Gucci sunglasses are always sold with a glass cleaning cloth. They must be packed in a box with the company logo. By the way, pay attention - the logo must be written correctly and without errors. Also included should be a bag with the inscription "Manufacturing Group", a Certificate of Authenticity and a warranty statement, on which the registration number should be indicated.
- The presence of an emblem. Take a close look at the emblem on the inside of the earcups. It should have the "GG" logo on it. Try rubbing it lightly with something sharp. The drawing on genuine glasses must be resistant to all kinds of mechanical stress.
After the emblem, you can find the following information: the real model number, consisting of four numbers, the letter S, which indicates that these are exactly the sunglasses, the color code (it can consist of either numbers alone, or only letters, or a combination of both) and others) and model size.
- Quality mark. On the inside of the temples must be the inscription "Made in Italy", and the abbreviation "CE", indicating that this product meets the quality requirements of the European Council.
- Inscription. Whenever possible, buy Gucci sunglasses only in special branded stores or trusted places. In an online store, the risk of acquiring a fake is very high. Very often, on the sites of unscrupulous sellers, in the description, the word “authentic”, which means “authentic”, is written in an abbreviated version: “auth”.
- Too low a price should arouse suspicion. The most affordable Gucci model costs about $200. And even during the sales period, it cannot fall several times.
- glass polarization. Genuine glasses must have polarized lenses, which are designed to protect the eyes from too strong reflection of sunlight from various surfaces: snow, water, wet asphalt, mirrors, etc. You can check the polarization yourself. Try looking at the TV screen or computer screen from different angles with glasses. If the image changes color at different angles, then the lenses are polarized.
Gucci sunglasses are not only beauty and sophistication of taste. They help to maintain youth and visual acuity for a long time.
