Brunello Cucinelli, the Italian luxury fashion brand, has launched its first-ever eyewear collection in collaboration with EssilorLuxottica. The collection follows a 10-year licensing agreement signed between the two companies in November 2022.
Prior to this full-fledged eyewear line, Brunello Cucinelli had dipped its toes into the eyewear market through a capsule collection launched in 2021 in partnership with Oliver Peoples, a brand acquired by Luxottica Group in 2007.
The debut eyewear collection under the EssilorLuxottica license showcases the brand's signature craftsmanship and attention to detail. The designs feature a variety of styles for both men and women, including aviators, geometric frames, and round shapes. High-quality materials such as lightweight acetate, horn, and fine titanium are used to create these elegant and timeless pieces.
Notable styles in the collection include Disoriano, a pilot-style frame; Artemio, an optical style with a sunclip; Filu', a bold, angular style; and Nino, which is available in sustainably sourced genuine horn. The collection also features an exclusive colorway of the iconic Oliver Peoples model, Oliver Sun, in Olive Smoke - a hue personally selected by Brunello Cucinelli himself.
The eyewear line showcases a range of refined colors, such as peach, pistachio, cognac, and cashmere-beige, adding a touch of sophistication to each piece. With prices ranging from around $600 to over $2,000, the collection caters to the brand's discerning clientele who appreciate luxury and impeccable craftsmanship.
The Brunello Cucinelli eyewear collection is being sold through select retailers, including Bergdorf Goodman, and is expected to be a successful addition to the brand's existing product categories. As the brand continues to expand its offerings and collaborations, the launch of this eyewear line marks an exciting new chapter in Brunello Cucinelli's journey as a global luxury powerhouse.
