Description
Authentic Oliver Peoples Gregory Peck Sun sunglasses in a classic Dark Mahogany Tortoise. These iconic frames were designed in collaboration with the Peck Estate to celebrate the 50th anniversary of 'To Kill a Mockingbird.' Featuring a rounded silhouette, keyhole bridge, and unique filigreed metal temples. These are a staple of sophisticated eyewear, known for their understated luxury and timeless appeal. Includes polarized grey-green lenses.
Key Features
Collaboration with the Gregory Peck Estate; classic keyhole bridge; high-end Italian craftsmanship; highly recognizable silhouette to eyewear enthusiasts; holds value extremely well in the secondary market.
Authenticity Indicators
Confidence Level: High. Look for the 'Oliver Peoples' logo plaque hand-inlaid at the temple tips. The interior arm should have 'Gregory Peck Sun' and 'Handcrafted in Italy' printed. True OP frames use high-quality barrel hinges rather than cheap spring hinges. The filigree on the metal should be crisp and detailed.
Flaws to Note
Possible micro-scratches on lenses or fine 'swirl' marks on the acetate from cleaning. Ensure the hinges are tight and the arms are not stretched or asymmetrical.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
The RealReal (for quick luxury consignment), eBay (highest market reach), or Poshmark/Grailed (strong community for designer accessories).
Selling Tips
Avoid using 'stock photos' alone; take clear macro shots of the inner temples to show model numbers and the 'Handcrafted in Italy' stamp. Mention if a case or cleaning cloth is included. Use keywords like 'Quiet Luxury,' 'Vintage Style,' and 'Handmade.'
