Salvatore Ferragamo SF2038SE

The SF2038SE at a glance

What you get is an oval lens, softer than a round one. It has a full rim all the way round each lens. The frame sits on a plain single bridge, and the nose rest is part of the frame. The frame material is acetate, per the supplier. 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. Acetate temples with a metal plaque at the hinge complete the frame. Salvatore Ferragamo files this colourway as code 224.

Size and fit

It measures 51-22-140, which is the lens width, then the bridge, then the temple length, all in millimetres. The lens width of 51 mm is medium for a sunglasses frame. If the fit needs a tweak once it arrives, any optician can adjust it; pairs ship exactly as the maker packed them.

Through the lens

Brown lenses are fitted. A brown tint warms the view slightly and sharpens contrast. Nothing in the supplier's data says these lenses are polarized or gives a UV rating, so we say neither.

If Transparent Rust is not your colour

The SF2038SE is also listed here as 232 (Transparent Brown with brown lenses). Shape and size are the same; only the finish changes.

In the box, and getting it to you

It arrives as Salvatore Ferragamo 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. If it is not right, send it back unworn within 30 days for a refund less the return label we provide; a defect, a wrong item or damage in transit is returned free when reported within 7 days.
