Louis Vuitton Millionaires Sunglasses (Black and Gold)

This item is a pair of high-luxury sunglasses, identified as the Louis Vuitton 'Millionaires' model, originally designed by Pharrell Williams and Nigo. The frames feature a bold, oversized square profile constructed from high-quality black acetate. A primary distinguishing feature is the elaborate gold-toned metal detailing along the top of the frame and bridge, which includes a finely engraved Louis Vuitton Monogram pattern. Further gold detailing is found on the hinges and temples, where the brand's signature is often incorporated into functional hardware. The interior temple displays printed model identification numbers (Z1165W) and size specifications (58[]17 145), indicating a standard large fit. The construction appears substantial with multi-barrel hinges providing structural integrity. Condition-wise, the acetate surfaces show several fine surface scratches and evidence of handling, particularly around the bridge and nose pads. The gold-toned metal exhibits minor tarnishing and fingerprints, suggesting a need for professional cleaning. Such pieces are representative of the mid-to-late 2000s streetwear-meets-luxury aesthetic that remains highly collectible today. The craftsmanship level is indicative of premium European optical manufacturing, characterized by the weight of the frame and the precision of the laser-engraved metal inserts.
