Gucci GG0810S

The GG0810S, front to temple tip

What you get is an oval lens, softer than a round one. The lens is held by a full rim all the way round each lens. Across the nose there is a saddle bridge that spreads the weight across the nose, 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. The frame is finished with wide acetate temples. The branding runs along the outside of the temple. Look for the gold double g logo on quilted temples. The colour code is 001, Gucci's own name for this finish.

Reading the size

The size is 53-21-145: lens width, bridge width and temple length in millimetres. A 53 mm lens puts it in the medium range for sunglasses, so check it against a pair you already own. Frames ship as the maker boxed them, without adjustment, and a local optician can fine-tune the fit.

What the lens does

The lenses are grey. Grey is the neutral tint: it dims light evenly without shifting colours. An even, flat tint. Polarization and UV rating are not in the supplier's data for this pair, so neither is claimed here.

Same frame, other colourways

The GG0810S is also listed here as 002 (Ivory with brown lenses). Shape and size are the same; only the finish changes.

Shipping and returns, plainly

It arrives as Gucci packed it: new, in the brand's box, with the case and cloth the brand puts in. Within the US it ships free, usually one to two business days after you order, and the tracking number is emailed to you. Change your mind within 30 days and send it back unworn in its box; the return label we email is deducted from the refund. A defect, wrong item or damage on the way is returned free if reported within 7 days.
