Cutler and Gross

Cutler & Gross was founded in 1969 by opticians Graham Cutler and Tony Gross, two friends whose contrasting personalities created something extraordinary. Combining Gross’s flair and flamboyance with Cutler’s meticulous precision, they transformed eyewear into a true fashion statement. From their first London store in Knightsbridge Green, their bold, logo-free designs became icons of individuality, creativity and style, creating eyewear for those who see the world differently. At Leightons, we’re proud to showcase this pioneering British brand that continues to redefine what eyewear can be.
