Names like Granny Chic and Tribeca Teal tell you something about how Cutler and Gross approaches colour. The 9290 Round Opticals come in five acetate colourways, from the deep Emerald Marble on Ink Colour Studio and the quietly serious Dark Grey to the warm Red Havana, the cool Tribeca Teal and the knowing Granny Chic.
The shape itself is a compact round with clean, unfussy lines. Lens width is 47mm, the measurement across a single lens, which places it at the smaller and neater end of the scale. That makes it a strong choice for narrower faces, and for anyone who prefers glasses that sit close and precise rather than dominating the face.
Handmade eyewear from a British house, sold by a shop that knows it. Next Level Optical is an authorised Cutler and Gross dealer, and prescription lenses are fitted before dispatch, so the frame arrives ready to wear.
