Its lightweight Italian-made gunmetal frame, softly squared silhouette, and original blue gradient lenses create a timeless design that feels equally at home today. Preserved in unworn deadstock condition, it remains a rare example of Polo's premium eyewear production from the era.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polo by Ralph Lauren\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame Model:\u003c\/strong\u003e POLO 869\/S YB7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDecade:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1990s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLenses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original Blue Gradient UV 400 Protective Lenses\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in Italy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New old stock (deadstock).

Many of the brand's premium collections were produced in Italy, where generations of skilled artisans had established the global standard for luxury eyewear manufacturing. Rather than chasing short-lived trends, Ralph Lauren favored clean proportions, quality materials, and enduring design—an approach that continues to make original Polo frames highly collectible. Deadstock Italian-made examples like the POLO 869\/S are increasingly uncommon, especially when preserved with their original lenses and unworn condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll purchases include a protective case and cleaning cloth.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ralph Lauren","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53854856315064,"sku":"LON-726-42","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/8814\/4312\/files\/IMG_4500.jpg?v=1786029293","url":"https:\/\/azyrspecs.com\/products\/1990s-polo-by-ralph-lauren-sunglasses-archive-0043","provider":"AZYR Specs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
