Story & heritage
The 1386 Square Sunglasses are explicitly described by Cutler and Gross as a house signature. The frame amplifies American acetate shapes from the 1950s into a chunky sunglass profile.
The line is important enough that the later 9386 is described by the brand as a reinvention of a profile reminiscent of the bestselling 1386.
Materials & craft
Official copy specifies a chunky 9mm frame, vintage pins and both interior and exterior milling to reduce visual weight without losing the bold acetate character.
The result is a square frame where material thickness, not decoration, carries the design language.
How to choose & style
Treat 1386 as the bold square in the rotation: it works best with simple clothes that let the acetate colour and width read first.
Purple on Black and Crystal Green make it playful; Honey Havana and Mud are easier everyday routes into the same signature shape.
