Dolce & Gabbana is the brand founded in 1985 by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana that makes Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses.
Italian designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana founded the fashion house in 1985. The company became known for expressive Italian fashion, strong Mediterranean influences, and highly recognizable branding across clothing and accessories.
Its sunglasses form part of a wider accessories range that also includes handbags, shoes, watches, jewelry, and fragrances. The brand is often confused with D&G, a diffusion line that Dolce & Gabbana introduced in the 1990s; the two names have not always represented the same product line.
The full name Dolce & Gabbana identifies the main luxury fashion house. The ampersand is part of the brand’s standard written name.
