If you’re interested in high fashion, you’ll recognise Loewe as a familiar name. One of the world’s major luxury fashion houses, Loewe was founded in Madrid in 1846. The brand has always been dedicated to quality craftsmanship and combines this with technology and innovation to create what can only be described as objects of desire.

Loewe understands that preferences vary greatly from person to person, which inspired them to develop a diverse eyewear collection. From avant-garde to classic trendsetting frames, high-quality materials are combined innovatively with each piece, resulting in avant-garde and trend-setting pieces, including their iconic, playful inflated sunglasses, glamorous double-frame sunglasses, and innovative wave masks.

Celebrities that have fallen in love with this luxury brand and have been spotted wearing Loewe sunglasses include Kylie Jenner, English actress Olivia Cooke, model and actress Emily Ratajkowski, and US personality Sofia Richie Grainge.

Gucci Glasses Frames

Italian luxury brand Gucci started out by producing leather bags in 1921, soon expanding to luggage items aimed at the upper-class traveller. The brand developed over the years, becoming a household name as one of the great fashion powerhouses. In the 1960s, Gucci began making eyewear, making it a staple as one of the most iconic eyewear brands in the market today.

The name Gucci is now a symbol of style and sophistication. Like everything, Gucci puts the utmost importance on the craftsmanship of its eyewear. Frames are handmade in Italy using the finest materials, producing glasses that are not only visually stunning but also comfortable to wear and durable.

Known for its designs defying trends, Gucci glasses frames feature classic shapes that embody the brand’s heritage. However, these timeless styles are accentuated by contemporary elements, so they remain on trend in our modern world - it’s easy to see why fashion-forward celebrities such as Rihanna, Beyonce, and Kim Kardashian love them.

Those who prefer luxury served with a side of rebellion will find Chrome Hearts an ideal eyewear brands to rock. Founded in Hollywood in 1998, Chrome Hearts was the brainchild of Richard Stark, carpenter turned leather dealer. With jeweller Leonard Kamhout and leather manufacturer John Bowman, Stark started making clothing for bikers. A side gig in costume design and the patronage of Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones helped shoot the brand to fame, making it a rock star staple.

The brand’s eyewear range is in keeping with the rock star aesthetic, with a heavy dose of
luxury. The detailed designs are hand-finished, using precious materials, including titanium, sterling silver, gemstones, authentic hand-stitched Italian leather, and exotic woods. The wood used for the frame temples is assembled by laminating seven ultra-thin layers, cut and polished by hand, and coated with a non-allergenic lacquer.

Designed with flair, you’ll spot biker-chic details such as gothic metal embellishments and fleur-de-lys motifs. All this is accomplished using a sensitive laser. Now that’s rock ‘n’ roll done with finesse.

One look at a pair of Chrome Hearts and it’s clear why they’re chosen by rock icons such as the Rolling Stones. Other big names seen rocking the brand include Angelina Jolie, Christina Aguilera, and Karl Lagerfeld.
