Frame Details

The DG518S is a compact, narrow rectangle with softly rounded corners, cut from thick acetate that gives the front a sculpted, substantial presence. The acetate is striated honey amber: long horizontal streaks of dark brown run through a warm, translucent amber base, giving a horn-like depth that shifts with the light. The straight temples carry the same striation, with DOLCE&GABBANA lettering along the outer arm. The low lens height and chunky rim are typical of the brand's narrow frames of this period.

Why We Love Them | Era & Relevance

Vintage. The DG518S comes from Dolce & Gabbana's earlier three-digit "S" reference series, which predates the four-digit DG numbering of later collections. Its narrow, thick-rimmed rectangle recalls the minimal, graphic sunglasses that defined the late-century Italian look, and that shape has since returned to the house's Re-Edition line. The striated honey amber acetate is the most distinctive element, with more depth and movement than a standard tortoiseshell. Unworn examples with the original sticker and tag intact are genuinely scarce.
