Vintage Givenchy Oversized Shield Sunglasses Late 1980s Black Gold

Wide, angular black plastic frames set the silhouette for these oversized Givenchy sunglasses, the planes of the front shield tapering into thick gold-tone metal arms. At each hinge, a flash of decorative hardware catches the light, giving way to engraved '4G' logos at the temples — a detail that roots the pair unmistakably in its era. The tinted lenses are cut broad and deep, offering full coverage with a distinctly late-80s proportion.

The gold-tone arms and hardware are finished with a crisp precision, and the absence of visible exterior branding or label keeps the focus on the sculptural form and subtle signature at the hinge. Condition is very good, with only minor surface wear visible to the frame and hardware. No accessories are included.

This pair dates to the late 1980s–early 1990s, a period when Givenchy eyewear was marked by bold geometry and metal-plastic interplay. The engraved 4G logo at the arm is typical of Hubert de Givenchy’s later years, echoing the house’s commitment to graphic clarity without overt branding.
