Sunglasses Appraisal

Designer Patterned Sunglasses

The item is a pair of sunglasses, likely designed for women given their slightly cat-eye or almond shape. The frames exhibit a distinctive pattern, appearing to be a light brown or tan color with numerous repetitions of what seems like a stylized monogram or logo, possibly 'LV' for Louis Vuitton, though this is not definitively confirmed from the image quality. This pattern covers the entire front frame and the exterior of the temples (arms). The lenses are a warm reddish-brown or amber tint, typical of many fashion sunglasses. The temples are particularly notable, featuring a dual-material or dual-color construction. The inner side or perhaps a distinct segment of the temples on both sides, closer to the hinges, appears to be a solid black or very dark material, while the outer segment transitions to a golden or bronzed hue, possibly metal, before ending in the patterned light brown/tan tips that match the main frame. The overall construction suggests a blend of plastic (acetate) for the patterned parts and potentially metal for the golden segments of the temples, indicative of a quality build commonly found in designer eyewear. There are no significant visible condition issues such as scratches on the lenses or major damage to the frames, though minor wear consistent with use might be present but is not discernible. The style suggests a modern designer piece, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century.
