Cutler and Gross 1408 Cat Eye Opticals

If the cat eye is a language, the 1408 speaks it in a moderate accent. The lift at the outer corners is clear but never exaggerated, which makes it an easy frame to wear from morning meetings to evening.

Lens width measures 51mm, the horizontal distance across each lens. That sits right in the middle of the range, and it is why this frame tends to work for most face widths, particularly average and slightly narrower ones.

It comes in a single acetate colourway, Black on Crystal. The layering of dark over clear keeps the frame from looking heavy and gives the rims a fine, luminous edge.

Cutler and Gross has spent decades making eyewear by hand in Britain. Next Level Optical is an authorised dealer, we fit your prescription lenses before dispatch, and supplier availability is checked the same day you order.
