Our History & Mission
The Vintage Sunglasses Shop is the world's largest vintage sunglasses store selling only rare and authentic vintage designer sunglasses, founded in 1998 by former professional musician, tech entrepreneur, and consulting executive Bill Cline and located in Pawleys Island and Charleston, SC. You'll find iconic vintage designer sunglasses brands and styles from the 1940s - 1990s that meet our rigorous condition and authenticity standards. Don't be fooled by fakes, reproductions, or the condition misrepresentations and no return policies of anonymous auction and reseller markets. Thousands of counterfeits and reproductions are sold on these websites knowingly to cheat and deceive or unknowingly because the sellers themselves were cheated when first buying the sunglasses. Online websites like eBay have no knowledge how to identify counterfeits nor any ability to police it so it's buyer beware with no return policies shielding sellers and leaving buyers with worthless purchases that can even damage their eyes.

The Best Brands & Styles
We focus on styles and brands that we feel represent the best designs and optical innovations in the latter half of the 20th century. After 1998 most major brands of designer sunglasses came under the control of a single large corporation, and resulting declines in quality and research spending meant the choice and diversity of fine sunglasses was never the same again. At the Vintage Sunglasses Shop, we source quality inventory from all over the world to preserve your ability to buy the best vintage sunglasses and eyewear from the world's leading brands.
