Since its establishment in 1962, Kering has acquired numerous prestigious luxury houses, including Cartier, Dunhill, Gucci, Maui Jim, Montblanc, Puma and Saint Laurent. Each of these brands is thoughtfully designed and distinct in its own right. Discover more about their latest collections.

CARTIER

The new Cartier collection blends timeless design with modern elegance and exceptional craftsmanship. Key pieces include the Trinity 100th Anniversary edition, which is available in rose, yellow and platinum finishes, and Santos de Cartier models inspired by the classic 1904 Santos watch that features bold materials and signature screw details.

The collection offers a range of styles, from bold to rimless frames, catering to diverse tastes. The Première de Cartier line brings back ‘80s charm with enamel accents and godron motifs, while the Panthère de Cartier designs evoke luxury with feline-inspired details. Highlights include Double C models that come with a glossy enamel medallion.

DUNHILL

Dunhill’s latest styles celebrate 130 years of engineered elegance and heritage, reflecting the House’s timeless masculine sophistication.

The collection features vintage-inspired frames crafted from faceted acetate and lightweight titanium, capturing the essence of British music icons. Recognizable details, including elements inspired by the Rollagas lighter and Engine Turn Pattern, pay tribute to Dunhill’s pioneering spirit.

A new navigator style with a round frame and structured bridge further highlights the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship. This collection seamlessly blends tradition and modern masculinity, offering a refined selection of both optical and sunglass styles.

GUCCI

Gucci’s latest eyewear collection showcases refined design, merging sophisticated details with intricate craftsmanship. The materials feature classic and vibrant colors, with matte, shiny and transparent finishes enhancing oversized geometric shapes.

Gucci’s iconic symbols appear as metallic embellishments, embossed scripts and the Interlocking G logo across various styles. Acetate frames reveal ‘90s-inspired Square G details, while lightweight metal models feature elongated Horsebit accents.

A limited edition, crafted from 100 percent recycled acetate, showcases unique, colorful patterns, making each frame one of a kind.

MAUI JIM

Maui Jim’s Collection ‘“Ekahi,” its first under Kering Eyewear, seamlessly infuses advanced technology with Hawaiian-inspired designs in versatile shapes and vibrant colors.

Featuring Maui Jim’s proprietary PolarizedPlus2 lens technology, each lens protects against UV rays while enhancing color, clarity and durability.

Each segment boasts of unique design details inspired by Hawaiian culture, with signature patterns like the Wavy Pattern and Slash that add a modern twist.
