L.G.R
I am particularly fond of this collection, which honours tradition and is of excellent quality.

An eyewear brand born of a fascinating story
L.G.R is much more than just an eyewear brand: it is an adventure.
It all began when its founder, Luca Gnecchi Ruscone, discovered one of his grandfather’s old opticians’ shops in Eritrea.
In a forgotten box, he stumbled upon Italian frames dating back to the colonial era, still intact, whose design immediately evoked ‘the romance of a bygone era’.
From this revelation, L.G.R was born: a brand that blends Italian heritage, traditional craftsmanship and African influences.
100% Italian craftsmanship: rare and precious
Every L.G.R frame is entirely handcrafted in Italy by artisans who carry on time-honoured techniques: hand-cutting acetate, traditional polishing and meticulous fitting.
The brand uses premium materials such as cellulose acetate and mineral lenses, renowned for their exceptional optical clarity and superior durability.
This slow and demanding manufacturing process results in glasses with timeless charm, designed to last and accompany modern explorers.
A brand embraced by icons of cinema and culture
L.G.R has become a benchmark in the world of cinema and international TV series.
This strong connection with imagery, travel and visual storytelling reinforces the brand’s premium appeal.
The frames feature in Emily in Paris, The White Lotus, The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Mission: Impossible.
They are also worn by celebrities such as Timothée Chalamet, Lady Gaga, Ryan Reynolds, Anne Hathaway and Prince William.
