Versace was founded in Milan in 1978 by Gianni Versace, who built the house on a philosophy that clothing — and eyewear — should be unapologetically bold. Versace sunglasses are defined by their Medusa head medallions, Greek key fret motifs cut directly into acetate and metal, and the heavy-gauge hardware that makes every frame instantly recognisable from across a room. Wearing Versace eyewear is not a subtle choice — it is a declaration that you understand exactly where power and glamour intersect, and you want both.

The Frame
As Statement
The Versace customer does not blend in — they walk into a Positano terrace lunch or an Auckland rooftop event and the frames do the talking before a word is spoken. These are sunglasses for people who regard understatement as someone else's problem, and who understand that the right accessory shifts the entire register of an outfit.
Explore the RangeWhy We Love It
01
Medusa Hardware
The cast Medusa medallions on Versace temples are not printed or applied: they are individually set metal components, which is why they hold their weight and definition season after season.
02
Greek Key Precision
The Greek key fret pattern engraved into Versace acetate frames is cut with the same depth and regularity as the brand's runway textile work — a level of surface detail genuinely unusual in eyewear at any price point.
03
Wearable Iconography
Versace is one of fewer than five eyewear brands globally identifiable at a distance purely by silhouette and hardware — meaning the frames carry cultural shorthand no other accessory in your wardrobe can replicate.
Everything You Need To Know About Versace
Sunglass Style is New Zealand's leading authorised luxury eyewear stockist, with the exquisite, curated collections available in our premium stores and online at sunglassstyle.co.nz. Buying from an authorised retailer means you get genuine frames, full manufacturer warranty, and access to the correct replacement lenses and repair services. All Sunglass Style stock is held in New Zealand — online orders are dispatched same day via NZ Post with overnight delivery. Same-day delivery is also available for eligible addresses.
Versace sunglasses at Sunglass Style NZ are priced from $415 to $807, reflecting the brand's use of full-metal construction, heavy cast hardware, and hand-finished acetate. Within that range you'll find core metal frames with Medusa coin temples at the lower end, and oversized sculptural acetate styles with intricate Greek key detailing toward the top. Prices are in New Zealand dollars and include GST — and because all stock is held in New Zealand, there are no import delays or customs surprises.
Yes. All sunglasses sold at Sunglass Style provide full UV400 protection — meaning they block 100% of UVA and UVB rays up to 400 nanometres. That's the highest level of UV protection available, and it applies across the entire range regardless of lens type. New Zealand has some of the highest UV radiation levels in the world, so this matters more here than in many other countries. Whether you're choosing a light gradient tint or a dark polarised lens, the UV protection is always the same: full UV400.
Square and rectangular frames suit oval, heart, and diamond face shapes well, as the defined corners add structure where the face naturally tapers. If you have a stronger jaw or square face, consider rounder or oval silhouettes that soften strong jaw lines — an oversized aviator silhouette will complement proportions without losing presence. Of course, face shape is a starting point, not a rule — the best frame is the one that feels like you. Colour, personal style, and confidence all matter as much as geometry. The luxury eyewear range at Sunglass Style is wide enough to suit everything from understated elegance to full glamour. If you're shopping in store, our team can help you work through the options. If you're buying online at sunglassstyle.co.nz, we offer refunds on purchases that don't work for you — so you can try with confidence.
When you buy from Sunglass Style, authenticity is guaranteed. We purchase exclusively from brand manufacturers and authorised distributors — so every frame in our stores and on our website is 100% genuine. All sunglasses come in original branded packaging and with relevant documentation. If you ever have any concerns, our team is happy to help. Buying from an unauthorised third-party seller or marketplace carries real risk — grey market and counterfeit eyewear is common, and often undetectable without expertise.
