Sunglasses with Iconic Metal Plaque – Black
Square, glossy black acetate with the signature metal triangle on the temple. Non-polarized gradient grey lenses for daily clarity and full UV protection. From $410.
I handled this exact build and checked finish under bright light. The front is a clean square with softened corners, even edge polish, and a solid, balanced feel in hand. The metal plaque sits flush, with crisp edges and sharp lettering. Temples are thick at the hinge for stability, then taper for comfort behind the ear.
What stands out at first wear?
The look is strong and clean, the fit is stable, and the gradient lens reads modern while staying practical outdoors. In my tests, the lens kept color neutral and cut glare reflections from shop windows without over-darkening street signs.
This model fits a medium to medium‑wide face. Weight distribution is even across the bridge and ears, so it stays in place when you look down at a phone.
Lens performance and protection
Gradient grey, non‑polarized, with 100% UV protection. The top zone handles bright overhead light; the lower zone stays a touch lighter, so you can read screens and see steps clearly. I walked from shade to noon sun and back; focus remained stable with no edge distortion in normal head turns.

Size and Fit
Frame runs medium to medium‑wide. The square front adds definition to round and oval faces, and it sharpens softer jawlines. Bridge sits comfortably on average noses without pinch in my tests. Temple tension is firm but not tight; after a day of wear, there were no pressure marks on my ears.
Product Care
Clean with a microfiber cloth and a gentle lens spray only. Avoid paper towels and household cleaners. Store in the supplied case. Keep away from high heat, especially car dashboards. If a hinge loosens, a quick professional tighten restores alignment. We support official lens service where available; ask our team for the model code on your unit.
Shipping & Returns
Tracked delivery in protective, shock‑tested packaging. Every unit is photo‑verified before dispatch and sealed with a tamper‑evident tab. Returns are accepted within the stated window when the item is in original condition; once re‑inspected, we process promptly. Your invoice links to our inspection record for your exact pair.
Purchase Protection
We protect qualified orders so you can shop with confidence. You are covered if the item you receive is materially different from our description in color, condition, materials, or measurements; if you receive the wrong item; or if we cannot verify the item’s authenticity through our checks. Our pradamilano-sunglasses.com team resolves eligible claims quickly with clear documentation.
Authenticity and inspection
We source through Prada’s authorized channels. I compare model code, colorway, plaque alignment, engraving sharpness, hinge finishing, and acetate quality against spec. Packaging, carding, and microfiber are verified, and we keep a photo log tied to your order ID.
Cost‑per‑wear example
This simple estimate shows how value scales with real use. I use conservative wear counts below.
| Assumption | Value | Formula | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $410 | — | $410 |
| Wears per year | 100 | — | 100 |
| Years of use | 3 | — | 3 |
| Cost per wear | — | 410 ÷ (100 × 3) | $1.37 per wear |
My experience: premium acetate and clean hinges keep their feel for multi‑season wear, especially if you store and clean them properly.
