There was a time when life had more edge. The drop of a needle on vinyl, the tactile click of a cassette tape, the manual hand of early typography. An analogue era when our everyday habits gave us more texture, and definitely more of the unexpected.
The Autumn Winter 2026 collection, The Joy in Design is a portrait of Cutler and Gross's roots. Of two young opticians who set out to pave a new way forward for eyewear. Mr Cutler brought a meticulous eye and a devotion to fit. Mr Gross brought a restlessness and belief that exceptional design has no limitations. Two perspectives, in tension and in collaboration, define this legacy of craft.

The 9387 Square Optical in Sand Crystal.
There is a particular pleasure and nostalgia in objects made well, in essentials that carry a designer's true craft. Fine watches are collected like prized trophies of artistry and first-edition books are relics of the past and treasured for years to come. Eyewear is no different. Each pair of sunglasses and opticals is a labour of love, with the same patience and intent as anything worth making by hand.
The 9346 Cat Eye Optical in Havana Burl.
The collection comprises new Italian acetate with six opticals and one sunglass, each imbued with the signature spirit of Cutler and Gross. An iteration of the heritage Oyster pin is debuted throughout, with a modern, flush-set finish found along the temples. In every signature pin, hand-milled facet and polished frame that leaves the atelier, trust is ingrained in the process.
The 1439 Square Optical in Havana with custom tinted lenses in Pear Drop.
The Joy in Design is a celebration of the early roots of Cutler and Gross. From the electric streets of London to the characters and stories in which no two are ever the same. This is life before it was frictionless. Where considered curiosities still hold their edge. Appreciating the joy in design, and the little things, made extraordinary.
Cutler and Gross is also excited to announce the upcoming collection of Knightsbridge Green titanium, featuring five opticals and two sunglasses. Each frame is handcrafted in Japan’s eyewear epicenter of Sabae, over the course of 300 steps and eight months. Crafted from the finest pure titanium, each style is presented in highly limited editions of only 350, finished with a bespoke edition number as a final stamp of exclusivity.
