Delphine Polarized Sunglasses | Privé Revaux
We designed the Privé Revaux Delphine polarized sunglasses for the woman who wants timeless sophistication with modern edge. This oversized cat-eye frame flatters every face shape, delivering a vintage-inspired silhouette that never goes out of style.
Each pair features premium polarized lenses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays while eliminating glare from water, pavement, and glass. The lightweight acetate frame feels comfortable through long days, whether you're driving cross-country or brunch-hopping downtown. Our signature metal temple accents add a subtle luxe finish that catches the light just right.
Frame & lens details
Polarized Lens Technology
Our Delphine sunglasses feature advanced polarized lenses that do more than darken your view. The polarization film embedded within each lens blocks horizontal light waves—the kind that bounce off flat surfaces like water, snow, and car hoods—while allowing vertical light to pass through.
This means you see true colors and sharp details without squinting through harsh reflections. Whether you’re navigating wet city streets or spending the afternoon by the pool, Delphine’s polarized lenses reduce eye strain and improve visual clarity. The same technology found across our entire polarized sunglasses collection ensures consistent protection and performance.
Frame Construction & Materials
We craft the Delphine frame from high-grade acetate, a plant-based material known for its durability and hypoallergenic properties. Unlike cheap injection-molded plastic, acetate allows us to achieve rich, dimensional color and a polished finish that won’t fade or yellow over time.
The oversized cat-eye shape is hand-polished and features smoothly beveled edges for a refined look. Metal hinges reinforced with spring mechanisms ensure the temples open and close without loosening, even after thousands of wears. We chose a slightly wider bridge to distribute weight evenly across the nose, preventing pressure points during extended use.
Sizing & Fit Guide
Frame Dimensions
Delphine sunglasses measure 145mm across the front, with each lens standing 52mm tall and 58mm wide. The temple length is 140mm, and the bridge spans 18mm. This makes Delphine ideal for medium to large face shapes, especially those who prefer a statement frame that balances bold styling with everyday wearability.
How to Find Your Fit
If you normally wear oversized or cat-eye frames comfortably, Delphine will feel familiar. The slightly upswept outer corners elongate the face and draw attention upward, flattering round and heart-shaped faces particularly well. For narrower faces, the generous coverage offers excellent sun protection without overwhelming your features.

Questions About Delphine Polarized Sunglasses
Yes, Delphine sunglasses are designed as an oversized cat-eye style best suited for medium to large face shapes. The frame measures 145mm wide, with 52mm lens height and 140mm temple length. If you typically wear oversized frames comfortably, Delphine will fit as expected. For reference, the generous coverage provides excellent sun protection while maintaining a flattering silhouette.
If you have a narrower face, the frame may feel slightly large, though many customers appreciate the bold look. We always recommend checking our sizing chart and trying them on at home—our return policy makes it easy to exchange if the fit isn't perfect.
Polarized lenses contain a special filter that blocks horizontal light waves—the kind that create glare when sunlight bounces off water, pavement, snow, or car hoods. This technology dramatically reduces eye strain and improves visual clarity in bright conditions.
If you drive frequently, spend time near water, or live in a sunny climate, polarized lenses make a noticeable difference. Delphine's polarized lenses also block 100% of UVA and UVB rays, offering complete eye protection. Even if you don't consider yourself particularly sensitive to glare, most customers notice how much more comfortable their vision feels with polarized sunglasses.
At this time, we offer Delphine exclusively with our pre-installed polarized sun lenses. The frame is not designed for prescription lens replacement through Privé Revaux directly.
However, many opticians can replace the lenses with prescription polarized lenses if you bring the frame to them. We recommend confirming with your local optical shop before purchasing, as some frame styles are easier to refit than others. The acetate construction and standard hinge design make Delphine a good candidate for lens replacement by a professional.
Use the included microfiber cloth to gently wipe the lenses whenever they need cleaning. For stubborn smudges or salt spray, rinse the lenses under lukewarm water and add one drop of mild dish soap, then rinse again and pat dry with the microfiber cloth.
Avoid paper towels, tissues, or your shirt, as these materials can scratch the polarized coating over time. Never use ammonia-based glass cleaners, acetone, or abrasive cleaners. The hydrophobic coating on Delphine's lenses repels most dirt and water naturally, so you'll find they stay cleaner longer than untreated lenses.
Every pair of Delphine polarized sunglasses includes a protective microfiber pouch and a lens cleaning cloth. The pouch is soft-sided and designed to fit easily in purses, backpacks, or glove compartments without adding bulk.
If you prefer a hard-shell case for extra protection during travel, we offer cases separately on our site. The microfiber pouch provides adequate protection for daily storage and prevents scratches when the sunglasses are tucked into a bag.
The oversized cat-eye silhouette of Delphine is universally flattering, with a few face shapes benefiting especially well. Round and heart-shaped faces love the upswept outer corners, which add length and balance. Square and oval faces appreciate the soft curves that contrast with angular jawlines.
The generous coverage ensures the frame sits prominently without overwhelming your features. If you've worn cat-eye styles before and enjoyed the look, Delphine will deliver that same confidence with the added benefit of polarized protection. We encourage you to try them risk-free—our return policy lets you see how they look in your own mirror before committing.
With proper care, Delphine polarized sunglasses are built to last for years. The acetate frame resists fading and yellowing, and the metal hinges are reinforced with spring mechanisms that maintain tension through thousands of open-close cycles.
Most customers report their Privé Revaux sunglasses lasting multiple years with daily wear. Store them in the included pouch when not in use, avoid extreme heat, and clean the lenses gently—following these simple steps will keep Delphine looking and performing like new. If the temples ever feel loose, any optician can tighten the screws in just a few minutes, usually at no charge.
