Fendi Vintage SL 7027 Gold-Tone Checkerboard Oval Sunglasses - A pair of vintage Fendi oval-frame sunglasses, model SL 7027 COL. 101, featuring a luxurious gold-tone metal construction. The design is highlighted by triple-bar temples that transition into decorative side panels. These panels showcase a black and gold-tone checkerboard pattern alongside a prominent circular medallion embossed with the FF logo, FENDI ROMA 1925, and ITALY. The inner temples are marked FENDI and MADE IN ITALY. The piece is fitted with tinted lenses and black composite temple tips. The nose pads feature a signature green FF logo inlay. Frame width: 135 mm; Lens width: 50 mm; Bridge: 19 mm; Temple length: 135 mm. The Fendi Vintage SL 7027 in gold-tone checkerboard oval is a remarkable piece of Italian luxury eyewear history. Fendi's SL series (Sole/Sunglasses) from the 1980s-90s featured distinctly Italian design sensibility - bold, architectural, and unafraid of ornament. The gold-tone checkerboard pattern on oval frames is a design of genuine eccentricity and ambition. Vintage Fendi eyewear from this period is significantly undervalued relative to equivalent-era pieces from French houses.
