What's the difference between vintage, antique & retro?Vintage: "characterized by excellence, maturity, and enduring appeal; classic," with true vintage at 50 years old.Antique: "an object having special value because of its age," at least 100 years old.Retro: "Involving, relating to, or reminiscent of an earlier time; retrospective," imitating a style at least 10-15 years old.That means these sunglasses are retro but we named them Thanks, They're Vintage so you have to lie to everyone and say they're 50 years old. Good luck.
