Story & heritage

The 9261 Cat Eye Sunglasses take a 1950s classic Americana frame in a new direction, according to Cutler and Gross.

The line is part of the brand’s long-running cat-eye language, with optical and sunglass versions appearing across the current catalogue.

Materials & craft

Official copy calls out chamfering that lightens the browline, a swell around the lenses and Fender temples. It also notes a 96-hour polishing process.

The frame keeps the drama of a cat-eye while avoiding a thin vintage outline; the milled brow gives it Cutler and Gross substance.

How to choose & style

9261 is the feline alternative to a square sunglass: wear it with tailoring, silk shirts and sharply parted hair.

Old Brown Havana is warmer, Olive is softer, and Olive on Black turns the browline more graphic.
