DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Saint Laurent SL 751 JEANNE Sunglasses pay tribute to Jeanne Moreau, the French New Wave icon whose distinctive blend of sensuality and intellect defined an era of cinema. Designed by Anthony Vaccarello for the fall women's lookbook, these oval frames capture the rebellious elegance that made Moreau a muse to designers like Pierre Cardin and a symbol of French cool.

The full-rim oval shape is anything but ordinary. Look closely at the hinges and you'll spot the signature corner angle metal detail—small rivets that add architectural interest without overwhelming the frame's soft, approachable silhouette. The temples are engraved with the Saint Laurent logo, a subtle mark of authenticity. Both colorways—glossy black with solid black lenses and rich havana tortoise with grey lenses—reference the classic eyewear of 1960s French cinema.

Saint Laurent constructs the frame from recycled acetate, making it lighter and more sustainable than conventional materials. The lenses are bio nylon, offering durability and optical clarity with full UVA and UVB protection. At 50mm lens width with a 19mm bridge and 140mm temples, the fit suits small to medium faces. The oval shape flatters square and heart-shaped faces particularly well, softening angular features.

These frames are prescription-ready, so you can fit them with single vision, progressive, or polarized sun lenses through your optician. The saddle bridge distributes weight evenly for all-day comfort. Each pair ships with the original Saint Laurent case and cleaning cloth.

The JEANNE isn't trying to be loud. It's for someone who appreciates the reference—the kind of frame that nods to Truffaut films and Left Bank style without announcing it. Retro-inspired but never costume-y, with just enough detail to reward a closer look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Saint Laurent SL 751 JEANNE sunglasses prescription-ready?

Yes, the SL 751 JEANNE frames are fully compatible with prescription lenses. You can fit them with single vision, progressive (varifocal), polarized, or mirrored sun lenses. The frame's full-rim acetate construction provides the stability needed for most prescription types, and the 50mm lens width accommodates a range of prescriptions without excessive lens thickness.

What size face do the SL 751 JEANNE sunglasses fit?

With a 50mm lens width, 19mm bridge, and 140mm temples, the SL 751 JEANNE fits small to medium faces best. The oval shape measures approximately 5.5 inches (14cm) in total width. If you typically wear frames in the 48-52mm lens width range, these should fit comfortably. The saddle bridge design helps distribute weight evenly across different nose shapes.

What materials are used in the SL 751 JEANNE frames?

The frames are made from recycled acetate, making them lightweight, durable, and more environmentally conscious than traditional acetate. The lenses are bio nylon, which provides excellent optical clarity and impact resistance. The corner angle metal details at the hinges add structural reinforcement and a distinctive design element. All components are assembled in Italy.

Do these sunglasses provide UV protection?

Yes, the SL 751 JEANNE sunglasses offer 100% UVA and UVB protection. The bio nylon lenses block all harmful ultraviolet rays while maintaining optical clarity. This protection is built into the lens material itself, not just a coating, so it won't wear off over time.

Who was Jeanne Moreau and why is this model named after her?

Jeanne Moreau (1928-2017) was a legendary French actress and icon of the French New Wave cinema movement, known for films like "Jules et Jim" and "Elevator to the Gallows." She was celebrated for her distinctive style and was a muse to French fashion designers, including a relationship with Pierre Cardin. Anthony Vaccarello named this model after her to capture the rebellious elegance and intellectual sensuality she embodied.

What face shapes work best with oval sunglasses?

Oval sunglasses like the SL 751 JEANNE work particularly well for square, rectangular, and heart-shaped faces because the rounded shape softens angular features. The oval silhouette is considered one of the most versatile frame shapes and complements most face types. The key is ensuring the frame width doesn't extend far beyond your cheekbones—the 50mm lens width makes these ideal for small to medium faces.

Saint Laurent SL 751 JEANNE vs SL 872 ERIN: Which Retro Frame is Right for You?

Both the SL 751 JEANNE and SL 872 ERIN represent Saint Laurent's mastery of vintage-inspired eyewear, but they appeal to slightly different sensibilities. The JEANNE features a distinctive corner angle metal detail at the hinges—small rivets that add architectural interest and reference the model's namesake, French New Wave icon Jeanne Moreau. The ERIN takes a cleaner approach with traditional acetate construction throughout.

Sustainability-conscious buyers will appreciate that the JEANNE uses recycled acetate and bio nylon lenses, while the ERIN uses conventional materials. Both frames are prescription-ready and offer full UV protection, but the JEANNE's eco-friendly construction gives it an edge for those prioritizing environmental impact.

Price-wise, the ERIN comes in at $253-$256 compared to the JEANNE's $302, making it the more budget-friendly option. However, the JEANNE's unique hinge detail, recycled materials, and connection to Jeanne Moreau's legacy justify the premium for customers who value those distinctive touches.

SL 751 JEANNE vs Classic SL 174: Retro vs Timeless

The SL 174 offers a more traditional Saint Laurent aesthetic at nearly half the price ($181 vs $302). If you're looking for a straightforward entry into designer eyewear without the retro-specific styling, the SL 174 delivers Saint Laurent quality and cachet at a more accessible price point.

Choose the JEANNE if you're drawn to the oval shape, appreciate the Jeanne Moreau tribute, or want the recycled acetate construction. The corner angle metal details and vintage-inspired silhouette make it more of a statement piece. Choose the SL 174 if you prefer a classic frame shape and want to maximize value—you'll still get authentic Saint Laurent craftsmanship and prescription compatibility.

Both frames ship with original Saint Laurent cases and are backed by manufacturer warranties, so your decision comes down to aesthetic preference and budget.
