Story & heritage
Raffaele is Serengeti’s rounder, more vintage-leaning shape. Retailer product copy describes it as the most vintage shape in the Serengeti collection, combining a pantos round shape with a keyhole bridge and delicate metal inserts.
Within the official Serengeti assortment, Raffaele appears with multiple mineral-lens colorways, showing how the brand uses one retro frame language across Drivers, 555nm, Onyx, and other lens references.
Materials & craft
Raffaele product listings identify handcrafted acetate, mineral glass lenses, photochromic and polarized performance, a 48 mm lens width, 23 mm bridge, and 145 mm temple length.
The official Serengeti lens reference page grounds the optical system: Drivers and 555nm options combine activity-specific color tuning with the brand’s photochromic lens approach.
How to choose & style
Raffaele is the softened counterpoint to Serengeti’s pilots: wear it with camp-collar shirts, suede overshirts, soft tailoring, or anything that benefits from a rounder vintage accent.
The shape is expressive, so keep the rest simple if the acetate is bright; choose black or slate for a cleaner daily pair.
