WHY WE LOVE THEM

Few fashion houses influenced luxury eyewear like Gianni Versace.

The 481/A perfectly captures the brand’s late-1990s aesthetic—bold without being oversized, luxurious without excess. The crystal acetate allows the precision of the Italian craftsmanship to remain visible while the polished Medusa medallions become the unmistakable focal point.

With original lenses and unworn condition, this is exactly the type of Versace collectors hope to find.

NOTES

A true New Old Stock example from the Gianni Versace era.

Finding a Mod. 481/A in unworn condition is uncommon. Finding one with its original factory smoke lenses intact is even more difficult. The crystal Col. 924 colorway is among the most desirable variations, offering a cleaner, more contemporary appearance while preserving the unmistakable DNA of vintage Versace.

Whether displayed in a collection or worn as intended, this is an exceptional piece of Italian luxury eyewear history.

SECOND CHANCE PROMISE

Every frame offered by Second Chance Eyewear is carefully inspected for originality, condition, and authenticity before it is ever offered for sale.

This pair has been authenticated by Second Chance Authenticators (SCA) and includes a Certificate of Authenticity, unique QR registration, and permanent digital authentication record.

We never use stock photography. The frame shown is the exact pair you will receive.

Vintage eyewear is no longer in production. Every authentic frame represents a finite piece of design history. Once an original example is placed into a collection, the available supply becomes even smaller, making exceptional examples increasingly difficult to replace.

Thank you for preserving a piece of eyewear history.
