Optical visionaries Graham Cutler and Tony Gross founded their namesake brand, Cutler and Gross, back in 1969. Since then the company has grown to form a consistently comprehensive yet innovative optical line, in addition to coveted sunglasses and key collaborative projects. If you were wondering who created the stealth shades Sandra Bullock recently wore in the political satire Our Brand is Crisis, you wouldn’t have to look much further. A key part of her no-nonsense wardrobe were the Cutler and Gross 0734 Sunnies.

The brand has been creating sleek, stylish eyewear for over 45 years. With that history, they have been diligent in keeping timeless styles integrated in their product offering, but always introducing new colors and details – like tonal blue acetate frames. Cutler And Gross frames are available at boutiques in the UK, NYC, Toronto and Hong Kong. Lucky for those of us not residing in one of these metro areas, their on-line store stocks all the goods. They offer try-it-on-at-home trials too, allowing you to get your chosen frames sent right to your house, where you can try them out, take a few selfies, and if you dig them, you keep and pay. If you don’t, send them back (but we doubt that will be the case).
