Cutler and Gross: The Art of Niche Eyewear
Trust in Ottica Lucciola’s excellence for a truly timeless style
An Iconic Brand Born from the Fusion of Two Great Talents
Cutler and Gross is one of those brands that needs no introduction among niche eyewear aficionados. Its story begins in 1969 in London, when Graham Cutler and Tony Gross—who met in optometry school—decided to join forces to revolutionize the concept of eyewear. In an era when frames were viewed primarily as medical devices, these two pioneering creatives introduced style, elegance, and a new glamorous energy that would go on to shape the history of fashion eyewear.
Their first store opened in 1971 in London’s prestigious Knightsbridge district and was an instant success. Classic lenses thus became a fashionable accessory, cherished by artists, musicians, and celebrities alike—transforming Cutler and Gross into a true icon of style on the international stage.
Italian Craftsmanship That Conquers the World Cutler and Gross stands out thanks to its 42-step handcrafted production process, carried out in Domegge di Cadore, Italy, where expert artisans ensure frames of the highest quality and exclusive design. Each pair is carefully numbered and discreetly stamped with the brand’s logo, reflecting a philosophy that favors understated elegance. Celebrities worldwide—from Iris Apfel to Elton John, Madonna, and Victoria Beckham—choose Cutler and Gross not just for functionality, but for the unmistakable style that has made these glasses genuine cult objects.
Iconic Models and Prestigious Collaborations
Cutler and Gross is synonymous not only with classic style but also with continual research and innovation. Some of the most beloved iconic models include:
1391: Available in both optical and sunglass versions, this thick rectangular frame pays homage to the punk and poetic energy of the 1970s.
The Great Frog 004: Inspired by rock ’n’ roll, it features a green transparent acetate rectangular frame with gradient brown lenses that evoke a timeless biker style. The design is levated by a dagger and a soaring eagle—both andcrafted in sterling silver—adorning the front and temples.
Over the years, the brand has collaborated with renowned international designers and fashion houses—including Erdem, Comme des Garçons, Maison Martin Margiela, Giles Deacon, Mulberry, and Victoria Beckham—always remaining true to its artisanal DNA while embracing cutting-edge shapes, colors, and materials.
