6 trucos para saber si unas gafas Cutler and Gross son originales
"My idea of design is a bit old-fashioned. It should be practical, functional and look good. In that order." This quote from designer Graham Cutler is testament to the exacting standards behind his designs. Before going to market, all of the brand's eyewear undergoes a 42-step, 12-week creation process.
Distinguishing them is not difficult, you only have to take into account the following characteristics:
1. Name and logo
Unlike other brands of sunglasses, Cutler and Gross sunglasses do not have the logo stamped or glued on. Instead, the logo and brand name are made of gold metal and engraved directly on the temples.
The design and text of the engraving may vary slightly depending on the model. In step 28 for its creation, gold foil is laser-cut to form the phrase "CUTLER AND GROSS OF LONDON" in capital letters.
Some models have additional words or drawings. For example, cat-eye lenses similar to those popularized by Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor have the words "Colour Studio" engraved in italics. Other models include the same wording as on the temples, but on the top of one of the Cutler and Gross lenses.
2. Serial number, place of manufacture and characteristics
Cutler and Gross follows the trend of including the serial number and origin on their products. Both data are laser engraved on the inner side of the left temple. In addition, below the serial number you can read the phrase "Handmade in Italy by C&G", along with the characteristics of the glasses.
3. Sublime imperfections
Beauty is nothing more than a set of imperfections perfectly combined into a majestic creation, and the designers at Cutler and Gross are clear about that.
The long and meticulous craftsmanship behind these glasses means that no two are alike. The way the acetate is cut or the parts are assembled can have slight differences even in glasses of the same model. This serves as proof of the handwork that distinguishes luxury brands.
4. Documentation
Authenticity cards or certificates of authenticity are a fixed feature that accompanies exclusive branded products, including Cutler and Gross. While these are not difficult to counterfeit, they are one more indicator to give you peace of mind with your purchase.
5. Price
We all like to economize, however, it is important to be clear that Cutler and Gross glasses are a luxury accessory. If you find yourself with prices that seem very good you may be facing a scam.
Unlike other popular brands such as Ray-ban which has models starting at 115 euros, Cutler and Gross's cheaper glasses far exceed that standard. So what can we do? Distinction comes at a price.
6. Authorized distributors
If you want original glasses, don't buy them in street markets or on websites of dubious legitimacy. Like all designer brands, Cutler and Gross has authorized distributors all over the world, and Optica Bassol is one of them.
