Vesper Lynd’s sunglasses are the kind a woman wears to be left alone on a boat. The Versace 4061 in Smoke Olive, with lenses that fade from olive to a lighter olive, is a large plastic frame with a soft, greenish tint, and it is the Versace 4061 sunglasses pair Eva Green wears in Casino Royale.
In the film
Vesper wears them in Casino Royale (2006) when Daniel Craig’s Bond types his resignation on his laptop, and again as she steers the yacht into Venice. Sunglasses ID identifies the colour as Smoke Olive with Lite Olive Fade lenses, code 514/16, and calls it the only correct version for the film.
The details
Smoke Olive frame. The frame is plastic in a smoke olive shade, sized 68-17-115 in the catalogue. It is a big frame, and the size does the work.
Faded olive lenses. The lenses go from darker at the top to lighter at the bottom, which keeps the eyes visible at the table while cutting glare on the water.
Owning it now
The Versace 4061 is out of production and found second-hand; the button below runs a search of eBay for it. Sunglasses ID describes the exact colour as almost impossible to track down, and Versace’s current eyewear, such as the Medusa Biggie, is a different shape. If you cannot find the pair, the nearest route is a large olive-tinted acetate frame in a neutral tone; wear it with linen and white cotton.
