DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Bottega Veneta BV1386S sunglasses bring the house's sculptural design language from the runway to your face. These aren't just another pair of oval frames—they're part of the Signature Icons collection, distinguished by the sardine-shaped metal temples that have become one of Bottega Veneta's most recognizable motifs.

The Sardine Temple: Where Handbags Meet Eyewear

The curved, tapered temples take their shape directly from the handles of Bottega Veneta's Sardine bag, introduced as part of the brand's exploration of sculptural hardware. It's a playful yet refined detail that connects these sunglasses to the wider Bottega universe—leather goods, ready-to-wear, and accessories all speaking the same design language. The temples are thin and elegant, engraved with subtle logo detailing, and they taper to a point that echoes the silhouette of a sardine.

Made in Japan, the BV1386S features a sleek oval metal frame in your choice of shiny gold or silver. The full-rim construction is lightweight but substantial, with adjustable nose pads for a secure, comfortable fit. Grey gradient bio nylon lenses offer 100% UV protection while maintaining optical clarity. The 57-21-135mm sizing works well for medium to larger faces, and the unisex design suits a wide range of styles.

Prescription-Ready Italian Luxury

These frames are prescription-ready, so you can add your Rx lenses and wear them as your everyday pair. The metal construction and full-rim design accommodate most prescription types, including progressive lenses. Bottega Veneta's commitment to quality shows in the details: smooth hinges, balanced weight distribution, and a refined finish that holds up to daily wear.

The BV1386S sits in that sweet spot between statement and subtlety. The sardine temples are distinctive without being loud, and the oval shape is flattering on round, square, and heart-shaped faces. Pair them with tailored suiting, relaxed denim, or anything in between—they're versatile enough to work across your wardrobe.

What is the sardine temple design on these sunglasses?

The sardine-shaped temples are inspired by the handles of Bottega Veneta's Sardine handbag collection. These sculptural, tapered metal arms are a signature house motif that connects the eyewear to Bottega Veneta's leather goods universe, creating a cohesive design language across the brand's collections.

What size are the Bottega Veneta BV1386S frames?

The BV1386S measures 57-21-135mm (lens width-bridge-temple length). This is a medium to large fit that works well for most face sizes. The oval shape and adjustable nose pads help ensure a comfortable, secure fit.

Do these sunglasses provide UV protection?

Yes, the BV1386S features bio nylon lenses with 100% UVA/UVB protection. The grey gradient lenses block harmful ultraviolet rays while reducing glare and eye strain in bright conditions.

Where are Bottega Veneta BV1386S sunglasses made?

What face shapes work best with the BV1386S oval frames?

The oval shape is universally flattering and works particularly well on square, round, and heart-shaped faces. The soft curves balance angular features, while the medium width prevents the frames from overwhelming smaller faces. The adjustable nose pads allow for customized fit across different face structures.

Bottega Veneta BV1386S vs. BV1012S vs. BV1390S

Choosing between Bottega Veneta's metal sunglasses comes down to how much design statement you want to make—and your budget.

The BV1386S occupies the middle ground. At $395-$400, it's more expensive than the Minimalist BV1012S but less than the BV1390S. What you're paying for is the sardine temple design—a sculptural detail that connects these frames to Bottega Veneta's iconic handbag hardware. The oval shape is refined and versatile, working across casual and dressed-up looks. If you want something recognizably Bottega without going full fashion-forward, this is your frame.

The Minimalist BV1012S ($296-$302) takes a more classic aviator approach. You lose the sardine temples and the Signature Icons designation, but you gain a lower price and a shape that's universally wearable. It's a solid choice if you prioritize timeless style over distinctive design details, or if you're new to Bottega Veneta eyewear and want to test the quality without the full investment.

The BV1390S ($462-$486) is the statement piece. It's bolder, larger, and positioned as a premium option within the collection. If you're drawn to runway-inspired eyewear and want maximum impact, the BV1390S delivers. But it's less versatile than the BV1386S—you're buying it to stand out, not to blend in.

For most customers, the BV1386S hits the sweet spot: distinctive enough to feel special, wearable enough for everyday use, and priced fairly for Japanese-made luxury eyewear with a signature design detail.
