Sunglass Style — Gucci
Gucci
Made To Be Seen
The house that rewrote Italian fashion — now on your face.
Shop GucciThe Brand
Gucci was founded in Florence in 1921 by Guccio Gucci, originally as a leather goods house whose equestrian hardware — the Horsebit, the Web stripe — would become some of the most recognised motifs in fashion history. Their eyewear translates that same attention to hardware detail into acetate frames: thick, high-gloss Italian-manufactured fronts finished with interlocking GG metal logos, enamelled Web stripe temple inlays, and gold-tone Horsebit hinges that function as jewellery as much as engineering. If your wardrobe leans toward pieces that hold their identity at twenty paces, Gucci sunglasses deliver that authority without asking you to try.

The Edit
The House Never Hides
The Gucci wearer isn't trying to blend in — she's the person the room notices first, the one whose frame choice signals she makes deliberate decisions about everything. These acetate structures are built thick for a reason: Gucci understands that presence requires material weight, not just a logo.

Why We Love It
01
Hardware as Identity
The Horsebit and stacked GG chain aren't decoration — they're the same equestrian motifs Guccio Gucci put on leather goods in 1921, now cast in gold-tone metal on your temple.
02
Florence in the Acetate
Gucci's frames are manufactured in Italy using high-gloss acetate sheet stock cut to that signature thick, bevelled profile — the depth you see in the frame front is intentional, not incidental.
03
Worn Before, Worn Again
Jackie Kennedy wore Gucci's Horsebit-hardware styles in the 1960s; the same design language is in current production — that continuity means you're buying something with actual cultural history behind it.

Yes. All sunglasses sold at Sunglass Style provide full UV400 protection — meaning they block 100% of UVA and UVB rays up to 400 nanometres. That's the highest level of UV protection available, and it applies across the entire range regardless of lens type. New Zealand has some of the highest UV radiation levels in the world, so this matters more here than in many other countries. Whether you're choosing a light gradient tint or a dark polarised lens, the UV protection is always the same: full UV400.

Square and rectangular frames suit oval, heart, and diamond face shapes well, as the defined corners add structure where the face naturally tapers. If you have a stronger jaw or square face, consider rounder or oval silhouettes that soften strong jaw lines — an oversized aviator silhouette will complement proportions without losing presence. Of course, face shape is a starting point, not a rule — the best frame is the one that feels like you. Colour, personal style, and confidence all matter as much as geometry. The luxury eyewear range at Sunglass Style is wide enough to suit everything from understated elegance to full glamour. If you're shopping in store, our team can help you work through the options. If you're buying online at sunglassstyle.co.nz, we offer refunds on purchases that don't work for you — so you can try with confidence.
