Based in Pawleys Island, SC between Charleston and Myrtle Beach, Vintage Designer Sunglasses and our sister sites Vintage Sunglasses Shop and Collectics Antiques & Collectibles have been serving collectors and vintage fashion aficionados since 1998 with our unique and eclectic selections. We only sell rare and authentic vintage sunglasses from the 1940s through the 1990s that meet our rigorous condition and authenticity standards - don't be fooled by fakes and the intentional and unintentional misrepresentations that are all too common in auction markets.

We focus on styles and brands that we feel represent the best designs and optical innovations in the latter half of the 20th century. After 1998, most major brands of designer sunglasses came under the control of a single large corporation, and resulting declines in quality and research spending meant that the choice and diversity of fine sunglasses was never the same again. At the Vintage Sunglasses Shop, we source quality inventory from all over the world to preserve your ability to buy the finest vintage sunglasses and eyewear from the world's leading brands.

If you have questions about any of our items or just want some recommendations to help you decide on the perfect vintage sunglasses for you, our staff is ready to assist. You can contact us with any questions you may have, and you can send us your picture and information about yourself if you'd like us to make some recommendations of vintage sunglasses that best suit your face and your lifestyle.

At Vintage Designer Sunglasses, we offer in free US shipping and handling and subsidized express shipping worldwide because that's what our customers want! If you're ever displeased with your purchase or you find your selection doesn't fit your face well, you can return it in the same condition within 14 days for a full refund because we'd much rather have happy, repeat customers than any sale.

We depend on referrals and shared information about us via social networks such as Facebook, and we're grateful for the support of our friends and our many repeat customers. Movie and TV production companies often find unique eyewear here that add flair to their films and shows and we are lucky to have many celebrity clients. However, while exciting and high profile, that doesn't keep us in business. Our most important customers are people from all over the world who appreciate the quality and style of the rare and authentic vintage sunglasses we sell at Vintage Designer Sunglasses.
