Cutler and Gross

About Cutler and Gross

Cutler and Gross is a London eyewear label started by two opticians, Graham Cutler and Tony Gross, in 1969. Mr Gross brought flair and Mr Cutler brought a meticulous eye for detail, and their first shop opened in 1971 at 16 Knightsbridge Green. It began as a small bespoke service and, by word of mouth, drew artists, rock stars, writers and royalty. The frames are made by hand in Italy, with the acetate ones crafted at an atelier in Cadore in the Italian Dolomites. Today there are flagship shops in London, Bath, New York and Toronto, and stockists include Dover Street Market. The collections draw on a design archive going back five decades.
