Junior Graphic Designer in London

A brand built on friendship and rooted in craft, Cutler and Gross was established by opticians Mr Cutler and Mr Gross in 1969. They had a vision: to pioneer a new standard of eyewear. Each frame was made by hand in the workshop above the Knightsbridge store in London. Over 55 years on and this philosophy of craftsmanship remains unchanged. Taking place in Italy and Japan, the frames are handcrafted by a team of artisans who have spent decades honing their skills. Today, the proudly independent eyewear brand has 6 flagship store locations in London, Bath, New York, Los Angeles and Toronto and has over 2000 stockists in 50 countries around the world.
