Cutler and Gross M:1318 C:05 Handmade Sunglasses – 51mm – Rare – Full Kit – New

Product Description:

• Cutler and Gross M:1318 C:05
• Handmade in Italy
• Full Kit
• Brand New / Unworn

An exceptionally rare find from the archives of Cutler and Gross, the M:1318 C:05 is a bold, architectural frame that embodies the British label’s signature blend of retro influence and modern edge.

Crafted in Italy from premium acetate, this model features an industrial-style ribbed temple core, oversized square lenses, and signature beveling throughout. The smoky charcoal upper fades seamlessly into a deep oxblood lower rim and temple underside—an eye-catching two-tone gradient acetate known among collectors as “Charcoal Red Fade”.
