Which eyewear label was founded in London in 1969 by Graham Cutler and Tony Gross?

Cutler and Gross was founded in London in 1969 by Graham Cutler and Tony Gross.

The founders established the label after training in optometry and developing an interest in handmade eyewear. The company became known for frames produced with traditional craftsmanship, distinctive shapes, and strong links to British fashion and design.

Its glasses have often been treated as collectible accessories rather than anonymous optical products. That positioning helped distinguish Cutler and Gross from large manufacturers whose brands are spread across many mass-market categories.

The name contains both founders’ surnames, so it is not an acronym and does not refer to a London district. Cutler and Gross is also separate from Oliver Peoples, another luxury eyewear label founded later in California.
