Authentic Vintage Versace Medusa Sunglasses Mod 4176 | Burgundy Plum Butterfly Frames | Made in Italy Designer Eyewear

A beautiful departure from traditional black and tortoiseshell frames, these authentic vintage Versace sunglasses feature a rich translucent burgundy-plum color that shifts subtly in the light. The oversized butterfly silhouette, gradient lenses, and iconic Medusa temple accents create a look that feels both unmistakably 1990s and surprisingly current.

Elegant without being flashy, the deep wine-toned frames pair effortlessly with everything from linen resort wear to tailored neutrals, making them as wearable today as they were when they left Italy decades ago.

Crafted in Italy, this pair retains its original Versace markings, including the model designation MOD. 4176, sizing information, and certification markings. The gold-tone Medusa insets remain crisp and beautifully preserved, providing the unmistakable finishing touch associated with the house of Versace.

Vintage designer sunglasses have become increasingly sought after not only for their craftsmanship but for their individuality. While black and tortoiseshell frames remain staples, unusual colors such as burgundy, plum, garnet, and wine tones are considerably harder to find, giving this pair a distinctive character that stands apart from more common vintage Versace styles.

I want you to love your purchase and I want you to have a great shopping experience! Every piece in my shop is curated with intention.

Communication & Customer Care

I do not accept returns or exchanges. Please ask questions and research the item, investigate size, fit, measurements, and even the quality before you buy. I'm as detailed as possible in order for you to make an informed purchase decision. Photos are also considered part of my description. If the reason is buyer's remorse, incorrect color or size (by no fault of seller), a change of mind, or opening a new old stock sealed item, I cannot grant your return request. I understand you may regret a purchase decision — it does happen — but due to the costs, energy, and effort involved in maintaining my shop, I unfortunately cannot make an exception for regret.

If an item arrives damaged in transit (please keep the box and all packing materials) or I have inadvertently misrepresented something by an honest error, please contact me promptly so I can work with you on a resolution. I insure any item over $100.00 for shipping damage as a seller. Etsy also guarantees purchases to a certain amount, so we are both protected in many situations.

Vintage, antique, and pre-owned items will almost always show some degree of age, wear, patina, imperfections, or character. I do my best to photograph and describe items honestly and transparently.

Shipping

I package with extreme care using professional packing materials, double boxing when necessary, and protective cushioning appropriate for fragile vintage items.
