Cutler and Gross celebrates iconic frames with limited edition launch

Cutler and Gross has launched a new limited edition frame celebrating the 40th anniversary of founder Tony Gross’ favourite pair of frames.

The new 9101 Limited Edition frame commemorates the 0101, Cutler and Gross’ first factory-produced frame. The frame was produced in the Italian Dolomites in 1982, where the frames are still made.

Gross wore the iconic frame throughout the 80s, making it his signature look.

The limited edition model is crafted with gold-plated hardware, encased in translucent crystal acetate, and also features integrated photo-chromatic Zeiss lenses, which darken when exposed to sunlight.

Only 101 units of the limited edition frame have been made available globally. The frames are handcrafted, with forty-two tailored steps involved in the production over a 12-week process.

The style itself will also be launched as a permanent model within the Cutler and Gross Spring/Summer 2022 collection, with four optical and sunglass models.

The optical colourways will include: black on Havana, granny chic, olive, and crystal, with two lens sizes. The sunglasses come in black and Havana, granny chic, olive and dusk.
