Designer sunglasses is just one facet of the Gucci empire, with the history of the Gucci designer house being traced back to 1906, when Gucci opened a saddlery shop in Florence. Initially, Guccio crafted designer leather goods. The 1920's saw him selling leather bags to horsemen, and producing designer luggage for customers that had moved from horse drawn to engine powered transportation. In 1938, the designer opened a store on the Via Condotti in Rome. In 1947, Gucci created its iconic designer leather bag with bamboo handle.

The familiar red stripe webbing made its debut for the designer in the early 50's. The 1950's saw Gucci introduce designer ties and shoes. Sadly, the founder died in 1953, but his family have carried on his legacy by expanding the company internationally, with shops in London, Beverley Hills, Paris, Palm Beach and Tokyo. The Gucci designer brand became more famous in the 1960's when Hollywood greats, such as Grace Kelley, Peter Sellers and Audrey Hepburn adorned Gucci apparel and Jackie Onassis was seen and photographed using a Gucci shoulder bag, which quickly became labelled the "Jackie O". It was also during the 60's that "GG" was adopted as the standard logo. The Gucci design house had become chic.

The on trend styles for both men and women Gucci sunglasses include sleek aviators, statement over sized sunglasses and sporty designs. There is something for every personality and every lifestyle; vibrant bursts of colour jostle for attention with the more classic, demure and understated. The designs of Gucci sunglasses offer the perfect balance between casual and chic.

Gucci are not all just about high quality style - innovative technology is applied in the development of the lenses on all Gucci sunglasses. Tinted lenses protect the eyes from all UV light, protecting your retinas from long term sun damage.

Choose rectangular or dark frames for your Gucci sunglasses to draw attention away from full cheekbones and elongate the face. If you have a strong jaw, the most flattering choice would be rounded or oval frames. Wraparound, rounded and square frames in your Gucci sunglasses will best compliment an oval face.
