Vintage Givenchy 4G Logo Sunglasses Late 1970s Red Beige

Red and light beige gradient plastic frames catch the light in shifting tones,
their oversized shape flaring softly at the brow. Each temple is anchored by a
gold-tone metal “4G” logo plaque—a detail that first appeared on Givenchy
eyewear in the late 1970s, the era from which these originate. The lenses transition from
deep red to a pale beige, echoing the frame’s two-tone design.
Fine gold lines border the logo and run along the temples, set against the matte
plastic. The finish is clean, with only minor surface wear on the arms; the hinges
move smoothly, and the logo embossing remains crisp. Made in France during
Hubert de Givenchy’s tenure, these sunglasses channel the maison’s late-1970s
taste for bold geometry and graphic hardware, here rendered in a palette that
avoids nostalgia in favor of a sharper aesthetic.
