What Are the Valentino III VLS-101B-51 Sunglasses?
Start with the shape. It is irregular, meaning it does not follow a simple round, square or cat-eye outline. The edges are sculpted, a little unexpected, and that is the point. Lexor Miami's listing places it in the Valentino Eyewear Collection and calls it an "Irregular Acetate VLogo Frame."
Valentino itself is a Roman couture house, founded by Valentino Garavani and Giancarlo Giammetti in 1960, and the VLogo, a stylized V, is the maison's signature emblem. On this pair it shows up as a detail rather than a billboard. If you like designer sunglasses that look intentional but do not shout a logo across the room, this one is worth a look. (Price: $680.00)
The Frame: Thick Acetate in Crystal Purple
The frame is made of thick, sculpted Japanese acetate in crystal purple. Acetate is a plant-based plastic that jewelers and eyewear makers love because it can be polished to a deep shine and cut into dense, substantial shapes. Crystal means the color has a translucent, glassy look, so the purple reads as depth rather than a flat paint job.
Thick acetate also has a practical side. It gives the frame some weight and presence on the face, and it tends to feel sturdy. We would not call it delicate. It is a statement frame, just a quiet one.
The VLogo and the Temple Details
Look at the temples and you will find the details that make this pair feel like Valentino. The temples are acetate with excavated end tips, which means the tips are carved out to create a sculpted finish. A white gold-tone stud sits on the temple as the brand accent.
One more thing worth knowing: the listing mentions an RFID chip on the left bottom temple tip. It is not something you will notice when you wear them. Lexor Miami's page does not explain what the chip is used for, so ask us if you want details.
The Lenses: Dark Grey, High-Contrast CR-39
The lenses are dark grey, high-contrast CR-39, and they provide 100% UV protection. Grey is a neutral tint. It darkens everything evenly without shifting colors, which is why many people prefer it for driving and for long days outdoors in Miami's sun. CR-39 is a lightweight optical plastic widely used in eyewear.
The listing also says the frame is prescription-friendly. If you want these with prescription lenses, talk to your optician and bring the frame details from this page. Lexor Miami's page does not list lens polarization, so we do not claim it.
Size and Fit
Here are the numbers listed on the product page.
| Lens width | 51 mm |
|---|---|
| Lens height | 32 mm |
| Bridge | 20 mm |
| Temple length | 145 mm |
| Total frame width | 142 mm |
The "51" in the model number matches the lens width. If you are not sure the size works for your face, send us your measurements or a photo on WhatsApp, or stop by the showroom to try a pair from our Valentino selection. It is always better to check than to guess.
How to Wear Them
Because the shape is bold, keep the rest simple. A white shirt, a tailored blazer, a neutral dress. The purple frame does the talking. They also work well with warm gold jewelry, thanks to the white gold-tone stud detail on the temple.
Planning a trip? These are made for sunny weekends, brunch, boat days and city walks. Pair them with a plain outfit and let the frame be the accent.
What Comes in the Box
The listing says the sunglasses come with a recycled leather case with a strap and a cleaning cloth. If you need to know anything else about the packaging or what is included, ask us before you order and we will confirm.
