Thank you for your for sale is a striking vintage GIANNI VERSACE MOD. S43 COL. 09M sunglasses frame, featuring the brand’s iconic Medusa emblem and elaborate Greek Key metalwork.
This distinctive Italian-made piece combines rounded lenses with a luxurious gold-tone metal frame, black lens rims, and intricately sculpted geometric temples.
The temples are particularly impressive, featuring an openwork Greek Key (Meander) pattern crafted from linked gold-tone metal sections. Near the hinges, a raised gold-tone Medusa head is set against a contrasting black circular background, creating a bold and instantly recognizable VERSACE aesthetic.
The decorative metal construction extends from the hinges toward the black temple tips, giving the sunglasses an architectural, jewelry-inspired appearance.

With its distinctive proportions, ornate detailing, and unmistakable vintage Italian luxury aesthetic, this model is particularly appealing to collectors of archival GIANNI VERSACE eyewear and enthusiasts of 1990s designer fashion.
The sunglasses show signs of previous use, including surface wear, discoloration, and dirt on parts of the metal frame. The lenses have no noticeable major scratches, and no major structural breakage has been reported.
