FAQ
Lipari Vintage Eyewear
What is Lipari Vintage Eyewear?
Our first store, Ottica Lipari, was established in Marsala, Sicily (Italy) in 1897 by the Lipari family. Over the years, the three generations of shop owners have kept unsold stock and iconic pieces, curating a brilliant, extensive collection of vintage designer eyewear.
Are vintage sunglasses safe?
Yes, they are. Both the frames and the lenses are made of premium materials, which have perfectly lasted for decades.
What are considered vintage eyeglasses & sunglasses?
Eyeglasses and sunglasses are considered 'vintage' when they are 20+ years old. Our store offers a curated selection of premium pieces, from the 1950s to the early 2000s, in line with the latest fashion trends.
Are Lipari Vintage Eyewear glasses authentic and unworn?
Of course! Our sunglasses have been carefully kept in our stock, never worn and in perfect condition. Please read through the item description to see if the piece you like may have small marks from time.
