Polarized shades with a little Vera Bradley flair

Questions and answers

Is $16.32 a good price for the Raquette?

Yes. That is a clearance-level price for a polarized frame, well below what polarized sunglasses usually cost. It is the best new price across the two stores that carry it as of November 5, 2026.

Are these good driving sunglasses?

Polarized lenses reduce glare from the road, other cars and wet pavement, which is the main reason to pick them for driving. Be aware that polarization can make some dashboard screens and phone displays look dark or patchy at certain angles.

What size face will the Raquette fit?

The lens is 51 mm wide, the bridge 21 mm and the temples 145 mm. That is a medium, typical women's fit. Vera Bradley does not list an overall frame width, so try them on if you have a wide or narrow face.

Do they block UV?

Yes. Vera Bradley lists UV protection along with polarization, so the lenses shield your eyes from both glare and ultraviolet light.

What comes in the box?

Expect the sunglasses only. Vera Bradley typically does not include a hard case at outlet pricing, so plan on your own case or pouch.

When is the Raquette cheapest?

Outlet and end-of-season sales are where it drops, and $16.32 at Vera Bradley Online Outlet as of November 5, 2026 is already at that level. Waiting rarely helps once a frame reaches outlet clearance, because stock runs out instead of dropping further.
