Founded in 1969, British luxury eyewear brand Cutler and Gross combines the finest Italian craftsmanship with irrefutably cool style. Since its establishment in fashion’s halcyon days, the brand’s signature creativity has been applied to sunglasses and optical frames with their trademark numbered designs and absence of an ostentatious logo.

For decades, Graham Cutler and Tony Gross’s frames relied, in part, upon their reputation being dripped and whispered within style and fashion circles like verbal quicksilver. Considered bastions of iconic eyewear, Cutler and Gross designs continue to grace many of the most recognisable faces in the worlds of art, design, music and film.

In the smokey haze of Studio 54, a square frame shields the eyes from view: this is the origin of the 1403 square sunglasses. Crafted from a single sheet of acetate, the chunky frame is bevelled with chamfered edging to cut weight and add depth. They're handcrafted with stable 7-bar hinges and accented with signature Compass Star pins.
