When Mr Cutler and Mr Gross founded their eponymous brand in 1969, they had a vision: to reshape the eyewear industry with their unique and superbly handcrafted frames.
Opticians by trade, the two Brits employed revered framemaker George Smith, who made each pair of glasses individually in his workshop above the Knightsbridge store in London.
55 years on and this tradition of handcraftsmanship remains central to Cutler and Gross.

With humble beginnings as a stand alone optician practice in Los Angeles in 1979, L.A. Eyeworks had a simple mission: to produce eyewear which celebrates the diversity of faces. This mission statement still prevails over their invigorating and imaginative designs. What sets these frames apart is the innovative use of acetate which often mimics fabric and patterns, combined with unusual and playful shapes to create a truly unique yet instantly recognisable style.

MasahiroMaruyama is a seriously impressive collection. The flawless designs feature intricate asymmetries and a more-you-look-more-you-see level of detail. MM frames are hand crafted from the highest grade Japanese titanium in Sabae City, Japan. The ethos behind their design is ‘unfinished art’, which is perfectly translated into the finished frames. It is rare to see a collection which expresses so much of it’s designer’s personality, and as one of just a handful of UK stockists we are honoured to share these one of a kind frames with Tunbridge Wells.
