A classic chunky square frame that adds a touch of class to any look, chart-topper Bobby Large is revamped and ready to roll.

Bobby Large

Honestly, we haven't found anyone yet that doesn't suit Niku. This rectangular frame is fun, flirty and seriously flattering. To add to the fun, Niku comes in playful, seasonal colourways like Matcha Oat, Cinnamon and Fiesta. 

Niku 

Naaz is tres chic, but not like the other Parisians. The construction of this oval-shaped beauty reaches new heights of sophistication. We shaped Naaz into sharp edges and sculpted end-pieces, gracefully flowing into the temples for a high-class finish. 

Naaz

Oshin is a classic wayfarer shape, our way. We made the lenses a little smaller, the frame a bit thicker and the polishing very soft. The result is a frame that can't be put into any box. We like that about a frame. 

Oshin

A subtle vintage bug-eye. Gaia's special wide scooped temples (yes, scooped), are reminiscent of fashion in the 60s. When you put her on, you automatically feel like an icon.

Gaia

Noor is all about subtle statements. Just look at her soft lines and smoothly elongated lenses. The temples are wide and sturdy, and that's how you know she's here to stay.

Noor

Go big or go home. We decided with GANNI to make that Antonio's motto. This oversized, irregular frame is the stuff of retro dreams. Its large square lenses are slightly tilted for that extra bit of cool. Emphasis on "extra."

Antonio x GANNI

There's just something about Brooke. Bold silhouette, lifted end-pieces, wide temples... it's the confidence of it all. We designed this frame together with GANNI for the ultimate city look.

Brooke x GANNI

Earth to Aisa. We designed this strong style with large lenses that subtly echo big alien eyes. The temples are very wide, adding to the sturdy and stylish appeal of this frame. While it may sound fashion-forward, rest assured these frames are as wearable as they are out-of-this-world

Aisa

Sinan

Xena’s secret superpower? A Supernatural ability to make everyone look incredible. The wraparound frame has a slightly sculptural look and is subtle yet sturdy. We dreamed up Xena to take with us to festivals, but please do join the party.

Xena

Oh, Rico. The frame that you are. Bold but lightweight. Wide yet comfortably slim. When it comes to casual cool, he gets it right every time.

Rico

It's not hard to crush on Caspian. This is your chic rectangular frame with a stand-out silhouette. The sharper design leaves a sleek look for all you tastemakers out there. 

Caspian

Channel your inner style maximalist with Mirko. Empowering, not overpowering, Mirko's large shape has a slightly winged design with a careful lift. Not to get too nerdy on you, but we made this frame with a 45-degree cut for a super-smooth look and a thicker wireframe marked by three dots on the temples.

Mirko

When we talk about a new classic, this is what we mean. Enzo is a slimmed-down wayfarer with a little bit more of a lift. So classic, yes, but also a shape that's truly quite different. Try it on and see for yourself.

Enzo

When you want to make a statement but also be subtle about it. Lana is a real smooth operator with that distinctive GANNI edge. This staple frame has winged end-pieces and a bold silhouette, making you look classy and glam all at the same time.  

Lana x GANNI

Meet GANNI's fresh take on Twiggy. This staple has a softened square shape with just the right amount of look-at-me largeness. For this exclusive collab.
This colour is Acetate Renew Bio, made from wood pulp combined with recycled contents instead of fossil fuels and then combined with bio-based plasticizers.

Twiggy x GANNI

Kaya's sleek, sculpted shape has a subtle sporty style. Well, if you consider soaking up the sun a sport. The silhouette is not just sleek but also a tad funky, featuring an oval shape that stylishly points out at the end.

Kaya

It feels so right to be a little bit wrong. Dilion proves it. We designed this frame to be quite directional as a subtle shield shape featuring smooth carvings inside the endpieces. 

Dilion

Sloane's serving minimalist glam. So don't be surprised if it suddenly feels like the nineties and you're getting papped on your way to the gym. Sloane is a sporty silhouette that's polished yet endlessly nonchalant. 

Sloane

Whether you're at your local park or the Riviera, Dion brings the Cannes supermodel energy. Oversized, sassy and ultimately classy. Crafted from quality acetate, this big feminine shape boasts a thick nose bridge, ensuring a sturdy, reliable feel.

Dion

Xena, the GANNI way. This wraparound frame has the same slightly sculptural, sturdy silhouette but is remixed for our collab in sophisticated yet joyful hues. The sunshine staple comes with a black print pouch made from the brand's leftover material. 
This colourway is Acetate Renew Bio, made from cellulose and certified recycled contents (instead of fossil fuels), and bio-based plasticizers.

Xena x GANNI

Dakota, the smoothest frame around. A new oval. A soft sixities vibe. A true brainchild of our GANNI collab, this frame features wrapped endpieces and comes in stylish colourways, each made from our low-impact materials.


Dakota x GANNI

As suave as they come. Mads is your classic twist on a wayfarer shape with that big city nonchalance that never goes out of style. It’s totally okay to wear these shades after sundown – you might not see too well but, wow, how good you'll look. Limited prescription only.

Mads

Nothing says "I’m sort of a big deal around here" like big ol’ sunnies. Take Sam here, his squared-off shape is larger than life and totally unapologetic — keep him with you for whenever you need to look like you just came from backstage. 

It’s the 70’s in Los Angeles. You’re heading to a film screening. You’re wearing a funky suit. All that’s missing is a pair of groovy shades to go with it. That’s where Pablo comes in. These oversized sunglasses are the retro-chic staple to make your day feel like a movie. Limited prescription only.

Pablo

Not your regular cat-eye, but a thicker, squared-up version of it. We like to think this kitty’s got street cred. 

Bella

Donnie is a versatile frame with a simple yet elevated design. It suits everyone and adds that extra bit of edge to any look. See the unique nose bridge? Yeah, it's pretty special.

Giacomo

A lovely curvy frame, the Monty’s painterly look combines tradition and cool modernity. Smooth detailing perfects the colour palette.

Profile

Monty

Don't get it twisted. These soft and flexible eye cords won't stop you from being forgetful, but at least you'll always have your glasses with you. Simply attach them with the silicone ends to your favourite frames for ultimate ease. Our twisted eye cords come in two colours, pink for a pop of fun and black to blend in.
Cord: recycled PET. A strong, lightweight and 100% recyclable plastic. 

Twisted Cord 

This modern gentleman is easy on the eyes. Literally. The combination of acetate and metal gives a refreshing twist to Pierre's classic silhouette.

Pierre

Wear Jacques. Become a literal icon. It really is that simple sometimes. These out-there-frames, are slightly oversized in a rectangular style — bold but not too bulky. Scoop ‘em up and stand out.

Jacques

Make way for Mac, the rugged rockstar that never ages. We updated a time-tested angular, square shape with a thicker frame and stronger inclination, so expect a little more impact. You can handle it.

If you thought Alfred was a charmer, just wait until you meet Alfred Large. Same handsome looks, this time on a super-size frame and suitable for wider faces.

Alfred Large

A bold and outspoken frame, Heather is ridiculously stylish and self-assured.

Heather

Let your Nelson glasses thrive under the summer sun with these stylish Clip ons. Constructed from lightweight metal, these are easy to attach and take with you to balmy beaches and sun-soaked cities. 

Nelson clip-on

A classic, iconic shape, retailored. Alfred’s got real charisma. Some might even describe him as ruggedly handsome. He'd take that.

Alfred

Rounded frame with keyhole bridge. Structurally crisp – a sharp new tradition. The Benjamin Large has character: approachable, educated, smart, offbeat.

Benjamin Large

Kayla takes flight from the iconic GANNI butterfly logo. The winged endpieces are inspired by the original silhouette and swoop all the way back, a strong, stand-out detail that's hard to miss.
This colour is Acetate Renew Bio, made from wood pulp combined with recycled contents instead of fossil fuels and then combined with bio-based plasticizers.

Kayla x GANNI

Eleanor is what we call an elegant sidekick. We cut her semi-thick frame from sleek acetate, in signature colourways like Terrazo and Fizz. She’s wonderfully oversized, with a square silhouette that’s delicately rounded at the bottom for a flattering lift. 

Eleanor

Oscar's main goal in life seems to be to make everyone look very good. That's more than fine with us. In fact, we designed this frame to do exactly that with a masculine, expressive look, a classy higher nose bridge and quality thickness. 

Oscar Large

Nelson Large clip-on

This right here is our case for no-effort minimalism. Anderson’s modern cut gives an edge to his simplicity. Essentially, it’s a hexagon shape but we squeezed it down for a softer angled effect. To finish the laid-back look, we detailed the frame with endpieces in the middle.

Anderson

Alfred Small

Oscar

Chuck is our answer to the superhero frame — big-time bold, with a daring, masculine charm. Pop it on and become who you were destined to be.

Chuck

Teddy is a classic staple that doesn’t like to hide. These bold, thick frames have a sharp finish and a subtle diamond-shaped silhouette. Yes, that means they make you look good even under pressure. 

Teddy

Welcome to the fast life, it's fabulous. Noel is an aerodynamic shield-style frame, with a flattering fit. The front shield is cut into a winged shape (inspired by the GANNI butterfly logo) and wraps back to where it meets the metal temples.

Noel x GANNI

We designed Trixie together with GANNI as the style disruptor of the three. The oversized silhouette comes in bold colours and has a sleek diamond-cut finish. Trixie also comes with a black print pouch made from leftover material. 
The front of this frame is Recycled Acetate, made from acetate scrap generated during production. The temples are Acetate Renew Bio, made from wood pulp combined with recycled contents instead of fossil fuels and then combined with bio-based plasticizers.

Trixie x GANNI

Our retro chap Chris is what we eyewear geeks call a Panto shape — slightly oval, flattened on top. The acetate frame comes with adjustable metal nose pads, for a splash of ease. Such finesse.

Chris

Nothing says ‘I’m sort of a big deal around here’ like big ol’ sunnies. Take Sam here, his squared-off shape is larger than life and totally unapologetic — keep him with you for whenever you need to look like you just came from backstage. 

Kayla takes flight from the iconic GANNI butterfly logo. The winged endpieces are inspired by the original silhouette and swoop all the way back, a strong detail that's hard to miss. The temple on this colourway is cut in half and laminated, showing two types of acetate colours.

Caution, Leonard might become your whole personality. Just imagine how elegant you’ll be in this timeless frame with its sculpted temples and wayfarer shape. Limited prescription only.

Leonard

Rounded frame with keyhole bridge. Structurally crisp – a sharp new tradition. The Benjamin has character: approachable, educated, smart, offbeat. 

Benjamin

A strong and sturdy frame, Allen’s straight, strict shape exudes classic style.

Allen

Oh, Sofia. This wild thing will get you singing in the rain and making your own kombucha.

Sofia

The beauty of the nouvelle vague, smartly updated in a range of acetates. Catlike eyeline and angled wings bring glamour to the beach.

Capri

Surf’s up and we’ve got just the frames for such scenario. Meet Byron: a perfectly round, laid back hunk, inspired by the chilled-out vibes of Byron Bay. Hang loose, he says.

Byron

Sadie's here, setting new cat-eye standards. Picture a petite, kind of rectangular cat-eye with endpieces in the middle for a fun twist. We designed Sadie together with GANNI in contemporary colourways, crafted from cutting-edge materials.
This colour is Acetate Renew Bio, made from wood pulp combined with recycled contents instead of fossil fuels and then combined with bio-based plasticizers.

Sadie x GANNI

Find Phoenix in the dictionary under “effortlessly cool”. We took a classic square silhouette and elevated it with a fuller frame, statement nose bridge, and a subtle lift to the eyebrow line. What can we say, it's timeless.

Phoenix

Inspired by water, our Make Waves Editions are beautifully carved, wave-like structures. Jet is serving a sleek nineties look, with temples shaped into a wavy silhouette for a stylish surprise.

Reduces eye strain by blocking high-energy blue light from digital screens.

Blue light filter

Our standard high-quality lens with basic anti-scratch and anti-reflection coatings. Repels water and is impact resistant. Good for prescriptions up to +/- 4.00.

Essential

Looking at screens a lot?

Polarised Lenses are great for when you're outdoors a lot, like sailing, fishing, hiking or when driving in wet or sunny conditions.

Features a significantly better anti-reflection coating, reducing glare and improving visual clarity. They also offer increased resistance to water, dust, and dirt. A great choice for prescriptions up to +/- 6.00.

Premium

Offers superior visual comfort with minimal maintenance, as well as a hydrophobic top coat that repels rain, fog, oil, dust and daily residue. Perfect for all prescriptions and mandatory for those above +/- 6.00.

Relax Lenses

Glasses with our Blue Light Filter — which reduces eye strain by blocking high-energy blue light from digital screens.
