Gucci Sunglasses

Gucci sunglasses are the ultimate statement of luxury and style. With their bold designs, exquisite craftsmanship, and attention to detail, these sunglasses embody the spirit of the Gucci brand. 

Each pair of Gucci sunglasses are crafted in Italy using the finest materials, including high-quality acetate and metal and unique artisan-crafted materials. The lenses also provide 100% UV protection. From classic aviators to trendy oversized frames - there is a style to suit every preference and occasion. 

With bold shapes, intricate gold detailing and fantastical colours, many Gucci frames take inspiration from the 60s and 70s. The styles are showcased through innovative design features such as transparent tones with bilayer temples, Swarovski crystal logos, and Web/Sylvie decorations.

 

Gucci is undeniably instantly recognisable. Its classic double G logo is iconic. With unique, bold designs and luxurious must-have pieces, Gucci has become one of the most popular brands in the market. Let's look back at how this brand became a worldwide phenomenon.

THE LEGACY OF GUCCI: A STORY OF ITALIAN CRAFTSMANSHIP AND INNOVATION 

Guccio Gucci was born in 1881 to a family of Italian leather good artisans. He started his career as a porter at the Savoy Hotel in London, and it was there that he became fascinated by the stylish and luxurious suitcases carried by the hotel's guests from around the world. This fascination inspired him to establish his Italian fashion label in 1921, creating high-end travel goods and equestrian equipment for the country's affluent elite. Today, Gucci is one of the oldest Italian fashion brands in operation.

 

In 2014, Marco Bizzarri took on the role of CEO and brought on Alessandro Michele as Creative Director, ushering in a new era for the brand. Together, they revolutionised Gucci by shedding the outdated ideas holding the brand back by introducing a fresh, modern aesthetic. Gone were the historic faces of the brand, who remain in Gucci's extensive brand history, such as Jackie Kennedy and Grace Kelly, and contemporary celebrities filled their place, such as Rihanna, Lana Del Ray, Harry Styles, and ASAP Rocky. Under Michele's direction, Gucci has become a pioneer of gender-fluid and unconventional fashion while still maintaining the high standards set by Guccio Gucci himself. 

At the beginning of 2023, Sabato De Sarno took on the role of Creative Director at Gucci - filling Alessandro Michele's shoes.

Each pair of sunglasses comes printed with the Gucci model and colour code on the inside arm, along with the size (in the format '49 [] 22', where 49 is the lens width, and 22 is the bridge width). Also printed on the inside of the arm is 'Made in Italy', along with the Gucci logo. There is often a unique serial number printed too, which can be authenticated at any Gucci boutique.

Gucci's sunglasses collection offers a range of frame shapes, from the always popular aviator and wayfarer to more flared cat-eye and oversized styles. Gucci also offers its take on the flash mirror lens, creating bright statement frames with wayfarer-style shapes.
