The Prada 05WV Eyeglasses bring Italian luxury to everyday eyewear. This women's butterfly frame pairs a bold, fashion-forward silhouette with the refined craftsmanship Prada has delivered since 1913. The full-rim acetate construction offers both durability and a premium feel, while the distinctive butterfly shape flatters a range of face shapes with its gently flared upper corners and generous lens coverage.
What sets these frames apart is the layered acetate design visible in several color options. The havana tortoise features warm amber tones, while the black/havana variant transitions from deep black at the front to rich tortoiseshell at the temples. The blue/brown multi-color option showcases Prada's signature approach to unexpected color pairings. Each temple is marked with the embossed "PRADA MILANO" logo—a subtle but unmistakable sign of authenticity.
Available in two sizes (51mm and 53mm lens width), both with a 19mm bridge and 140mm temples, the 05WV is designed for all-day comfort. The acetate material, also known as cellulose acetate or zyl, can be easily adjusted by an optician for a custom fit. These frames are prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses, making them as functional as they are stylish.
Prada eyewear is manufactured under the supervision of EssilorLuxottica, ensuring the build quality and precision you'd expect from a luxury Italian brand. The 05WV ships with authentic Prada packaging, including a branded case and cleaning cloth, and is backed by a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add prescription lenses to the Prada 05WV eyeglasses?
Yes, the Prada 05WV frames are fully prescription-ready and can accommodate single-vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses. The full-rim acetate construction provides excellent lens security and stability. At Designer Optics, our licensed opticians can customize these frames with a wide range of lens options, including high-index, anti-reflective coatings, Transitions, and blue-light filtering.
What size should I choose for the Prada 05WV?
The Prada 05WV is available in two sizes: 51-19-140 and 53-19-140. The first number (51mm or 53mm) is the lens width, 19mm is the bridge width, and 140mm is the temple length. If you have a small to medium face, the 51mm is typically a better fit. For medium to larger faces, the 53mm offers more coverage. You can check the measurements on your current glasses (usually printed on the inside of the temple) to compare.
Are Prada 05WV eyeglasses made in Italy?
Yes, Prada eyeglasses are crafted in Italy and manufactured under the supervision of EssilorLuxottica to ensure excellent build quality and precision. The brand has maintained its commitment to Italian craftsmanship since Mario Prada founded the company in 1913, blending traditional techniques with modern innovation.
What is the butterfly frame shape, and who does it suit?
The butterfly shape is a feminine, slightly upswept frame style with wider upper corners that taper toward the bottom, resembling butterfly wings. This shape works particularly well for oval, heart, and round face shapes, as it adds width and definition to the upper face. The Prada 05WV's bold butterfly silhouette makes a statement while remaining versatile enough for both professional and casual wear.
What comes with the Prada 05WV eyeglasses?
Your Prada 05WV purchase includes authentic manufacturer packaging: a branded Prada case, cleaning cloth, and certificate of authenticity. All frames are brand new, never displayed, and backed by a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Designer Optics also provides free shipping on orders over $100 within the contiguous United States.
How do I know if my Prada 05WV eyeglasses are authentic?
Authentic Prada 05WV frames feature several key markers: the "PRADA MILANO" logo embossed on both temples, "Made in Italy" printed inside the temple arm, clean and precise logo detailing, and high-quality acetate with smooth edges and consistent color. All frames from Designer Optics are 100% authentic, sourced directly from authorized distributors, and come with original Prada packaging and documentation.

Prada 05WV vs. Similar Luxury Eyeglasses
Choosing the right designer eyeglasses means finding the perfect balance of style, quality, and value. Here's how the Prada 05WV compares to other luxury acetate frames in our collection.
Prada 05WV vs. Prada 02ZV
Both frames showcase Prada's signature Italian craftsmanship and are manufactured under EssilorLuxottica supervision. The key difference is shape and price: the 05WV features a bold butterfly silhouette at a more accessible price point ($148.33–$229.70), while the 02ZV offers an alternative design at $214.90–$325.00. If you're committed to the Prada brand and love the butterfly shape specifically, the 05WV delivers better value. If you're flexible on shape and want to explore other Prada designs, the 02ZV is worth considering.
Prada 05WV vs. Tory Burch 2031
The Tory Burch 2031 offers a similar butterfly acetate frame at a lower price ($102.59–$134.75), making it an attractive alternative for budget-conscious shoppers. However, Prada's 110+ year heritage in Italian luxury goods and its reputation for meticulous craftsmanship give the 05WV an edge in prestige and finishing details. The Prada also features the iconic "PRADA MILANO" temple branding, which carries more recognition. Choose the Tory Burch if you want the butterfly look at a lower price; choose the Prada if brand heritage and Italian craftsmanship matter to you.
Prada 05WV vs. Dolce & Gabbana 5036
Both are Italian luxury brands with comparable pricing and quality. The choice comes down to design philosophy: Prada is known for minimalist sophistication and understated elegance, while Dolce & Gabbana tends toward bolder, more ornate designs. If you prefer clean lines and subtle luxury, the Prada 05WV is the better choice. If you want more dramatic, statement-making eyewear, explore the D&G 5036. Both are prescription-ready and offer excellent build quality.
Our recommendation: The Prada 05WV offers the best combination of iconic design, Italian craftsmanship, and value in the butterfly category. Its versatile shape works for both professional and casual settings, and the range of color options ensures you'll find a finish that suits your style. At this price point, you're getting authentic Prada quality with a frame that will remain stylish for years.
