Givenchy GV40103I

The GV40103I at a glance

The photos show a rectangular front, wider than it is tall. There is a full rim all the way round each lens. Across the nose there is a plain single bridge, and the nose rest is part of the frame. The feed gives the material as acetate. Acetate is the plant-based plastic that most designer frames are cut and polished from sheet; it holds deep colour and an optician can re-adjust it with heat. It has acetate temples with a metal plaque at the hinge. The branding runs along the outside of the temple. The detail that stands out is the gold metal logo plaque on temple. Colour 72Z is how Givenchy labels this version.

The numbers on the temple

The size is 54-18-140: lens width, bridge width and temple length in millimetres. At 54 mm across the lens this is a medium frame. The pair leaves the supplier exactly as packed by the maker, so a small fit adjustment, if needed, is an optician's job.

What the lens does

Purple gradient mirror lenses are fitted. A coloured tint like this is chosen for its look as much as for shade. A mirror coating that hides the eyes and throws glare back. A gradient tint, darker at the top than at the bottom. The supplier's data carries no polarization or UV rating for this pair, so we claim none.

What you get, and how it ships

Every pair is brand-new and sold as authentic Givenchy, in the brand's packaging with the case and cloth where Givenchy includes them. Shipping inside the US is free; the supplier packs it on business days, normally within two, and emails tracking. Thirty days to return it, unworn and in its packaging, for a refund minus the label we send; anything defective, wrong or damaged in transit goes back at no cost within 7 days.
