1396
The Cutler and Gross - 1396 sunglass invokes the spirit of David Hockney, the seminal postmodernist painter and renowned round-glasses enthusiast, echoing his favourite Cutler and Gross frame—the now-archived 0736. The eccentricity carries through every element, from the compass eight-point star pins to the perfectly round sun lenses in painterly colour washes. Art-history literacy you can wear, hand-finished in the brand's Italian workshops. It is a frame for those who like their references literate and their rounds exact. Handmade in Italy. Includes Cutler & Gross box, case, cleaning cloth, and 1-year manufacturer warranty.

Pupil Distance
One last step before checkout
Pupil distance (PD) is the distance in millimeters between the centers of your pupils. It's used to align the optical center of your lenses with your eyes. Most adults have a PD between 54–74 mm. You can find it on your prescription or ask your eye doctor.
Measure Your PD
We recommend using the EyeMeasure app for accurate results
Use your iPhone's TrueDepth camera to measure your pupil distance in seconds. It's the same technology used by opticians.
