Cutler and Gross bridges British style and handmade eyewear excellence. The brand is known for its designer frames crafted in Italy and Japan, with a legacy rooted in London’s creative scene.
Cutler and Gross was founded in 1969 in London by opticians Graham Cutler and Tony Gross. Their first store opened in 1971 at 16 Knightsbridge Green. The brand quickly became a boutique destination for artists, musicians, and creatives, helping redefine eyewear as a fashion statement rather than a purely functional object.
Frames are handcrafted in Italy and Japan. Italian models are shaped from premium acetate and hand-finished in workshops in the Dolomites. Japanese collections, like “Made in Japan,” feature titanium constructions from Sabae, renowned for its technical precision. Aesthetic hallmarks include bold silhouettes, refined finishes, and logo-free design—where the frame itself communicates the brand identity.
The catalog spans prescription glasses and sunglasses, for men and women. Core segments include Bestsellers, Limited Editions, and designer collaborations—such as those with Palace or Breitling. A dedicated titanium range exists under the “Knightsbridge Green Titanium” line.
Each pair of glasses is developed through in-house design and traditional fabrication techniques: material cutting, tumbling, polishing, manual assembly and adjustment. Production spans Italian acetate specialists and titanium workshops in Japan. No sustainability certifications or eco-responsibility statements are publicly documented on the official website.
The brand operates flagship stores in London (Knightsbridge and Spitalfields), Bath, New York, and Toronto. It also works with over 2,000 retail partners across 50 countries.
Cutler and Gross positions itself as a luxury eyewear brand rooted in British design, with handcrafted production in Italy and Japan, and an emphasis on bold, logo-free aesthetics.
