Is the Versace VE1175B worth it over a plain acetate frame?

You are paying for the tortoise finish, the Medusa temple medallions and Versace build quality. If you want a plain rectangle, cheaper acetate frames do the same job optically. If the branding is the point, this frame delivers it.

Can I put prescription lenses in it?

Yes. The frame is prescription eligible, so any optician can cut lenses to the 53mm eye size. Budget for lens cost on top of the frame.

Will it fit a wide face?

The 53mm lens width and 17mm bridge suit medium to wide faces. The 135mm temples are on the short side, so try it on if you have a large head.

What comes in the box?

Expect the frame, a Versace case and a cleaning cloth. Lenses are not included unless the seller states a lens package.

How does it compare with the VE1175B's metal siblings?

Acetate gives a bolder, warmer look and more color depth than a thin metal rectangle. It also weighs more. Choose metal if you want something lighter and less conspicuous.

When is the best time to buy?

Designer eyewear discounts cluster around seasonal sales and end-of-year promotions. Check the price history before buying so you can tell a real markdown from a list price.

Our take on the Versace VE1175B Rectangle Tortoise Glasses

The Versace VE1175B is a rectangular acetate frame in a tortoise finish, built to take prescription lenses. It carries the house's gold Medusa medallions at the temples and a 53mm lens width, which suits medium to wider faces. It is a fashion frame first: the branding is visible and the acetate is on the heavier side. The 4.8 out of 5 from 732 ratings reflects strong owner satisfaction, though that rating covers the frame, not any particular lens package.
