If I’m not mistaken the Sandro never came in VT it’s called “Camel Matte Vintage Havana” as opposed to the more “shiny” Vintage Tort. The lenses are a different shade of green I think too
agreed, beat me to it. they look great but my eyeballs are trained to trigger tears everytime i see vintage tort

Wondering if I am the only person alive that does not care for Vintage Tort.
I haven’t seen it in person, but from pictures, I can’t get myself to like it. But prob would change my view if I got to try them on and see how cute I look in them.

I love Vintage Tort, but IMO it really shines if you're sitting by the sea.

It is actually very well done. But too orange for my taste and complexion.

I am also not a big fan of tortoise shell. I will generally choose something other than tortoise shell, but I do admit that dark Havana is as good as it gets.
while ill always consider a tortoise shell, and its one of the more unique riffs on it that ive seen. the clear crystally chunks make the bulk of the mottle really pop. highlights my eye color, really.

Is that a leather wrapping? Very nice. Reminds of those old leather wrapped Ray Bans.
Looks like it. Remember some Oliver peoples that were leather laminated, adds a big earthy dimension.
