At our independent optical boutique, we take immense pride in curating a collection of eyewear that transcends mere functionality; it’s about making a statement and defining how the world perceives us. Enter Cutler and Gross, a brand we are thrilled to showcase, known for revolutionizing optical design for over 50 years.

Founded in 1969 by opticians Mr. Cutler and Mr. Gross, the brand emerged as a testament to the perfect blend of friendship, innovation, and a commitment to transforming the eyewear landscape. What started as a bespoke service in London’s Knightsbridge quickly evolved into a cultural phenomenon, attracting artists, rock stars, writers, and royalty alike.

Cutler and Gross, as optical architects, reshaped generations by not just creating glasses but crafting iconic pieces that spoke volumes without the need for external logos. Each meticulously sculpted curve and line is a testament to their dedication to elegance, character, and the transformative magic that eyewear can bring to one’s persona.

Crafted in Italy by skilled artisans who champion the art of individual frame making, Cutler and Gross defy conventional norms. Their hand-crafted excellence, use of the finest raw materials, and an unwavering enthusiasm for creating styles that celebrate visual clarity have kept the brand relevant and revered.

The dynamic duo behind this iconic brand, Graham Cutler and Tony Gross, joined forces in 1969. Sons of doctors, their journey from studying ophthalmic opticians to establishing the first Cutler and Gross store in 1971 is a testament to their fusion of flamboyance, flair, and meticulous attention to detail. Their store in Knightsbridge Green, London, became a haven for those seeking spectacles that promised more than just 20:20 vision.

Graham Cutler’s philosophy beautifully encapsulates the essence of Cutler and Gross: “If you buy a handcrafted pair of glasses or sunglasses, you want to see the tiny inaccuracies, the straight, raw edges of the plastic, the pins – they give character, make them unique to the wearer.” The Cutler and Gross customer is an individual, eccentric perhaps, but undeniably a rare breed.

Cutler and Gross, with their hand-made bespoke frames, became the preferred choice for discerning customers who valued quality, fit, and good design. Their pioneering approach transformed modern-day attitudes towards eyewear, fusing elegance, creativity, and cutting-edge craftsmanship without compromise. This enduring philosophy continues to shape the Cutler and Gross collections, ensuring they remain timeless and relevant in our boutique today.
