British luxury eyewear house Cutler and Gross has unveiled its latest Exceptional Horn Eyewear Collection, reaffirming its reputation for combining traditional craftsmanship with premium natural materials. Featuring handcrafted optical frames and sunglasses made from sustainably sourced water buffalo horn, the collection highlights the brand’s commitment to timeless design and individuality.
Each frame is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans, with the horn carefully selected for its distinctive grain and organic character. As no two pieces of horn are identical, every frame is naturally unique, offering wearers a truly one-of-a-kind luxury eyewear experience. Water buffalo horn is also prized for its lightweight feel, natural warmth against the skin and exceptional comfort, making it one of the most sought-after materials in luxury eyewear.
The collection showcases a variety of signature silhouettes, including the 0425 Rectangular Horn Sunglass in Toasted Brown, the 0822V2 Aviator Horn Optical in Deep Black and Cream, the 0772 Square Horn Sunglass in Toffee Brown and Cream, the 9298 Round Horn Optical in Moss Green and Brown, the 0772 Square Horn Sunglass in Deep Matte Black and Cream, the 9290 Round Horn Optical in Smoke Brown and Cream, and the 4469 Square Horn Sunglass in Smoke Brown and Cream. Each design celebrates the rich colour variations and natural textures that make buffalo horn one of the most distinctive frame materials available.
Unlike conventional acetate frames, horn eyewear develops a unique patina over time, enhancing its character with wear. The material’s hypoallergenic properties and natural adaptability also contribute to a comfortable fit, while the handcrafted production process ensures meticulous attention to detail throughout every stage of manufacturing.
