Gucci Frames & Sunglasses

Spectacle Shoppe is an authorized Gucci retailer. Discover bold, Italian-made glasses and sunglasses built on nearly a century of house design at any of our four Twin Cities locations.

Gucci was founded in Florence, Italy, in 1921 by Guccio Gucci, who had spent years watching wealthy travelers move through London’s Savoy Hotel with beautifully made luggage. He came home determined to build that same quality in Italy, opening a small leather goods shop that grew into one of the world’s most recognized luxury houses. The interlocking GG monogram, the red-green-red web stripe, and the horsebit hardware, all rooted in the house’s equestrian heritage, became signatures that still show up in Gucci eyewear today.

Gucci eyewear is designed and produced by Kering Eyewear, built on the same Italian craftsmanship as the house’s ready-to-wear and leather goods. Frames are cut from thick, sculptural acetate in bold cat-eye and rectangular silhouettes, finished with dimensional cut-out logos, crystal detailing, and metal hardware set against contrasting color plaques. Every pair is made to be noticed up close as much as from across a room.

Spectacle Shoppe carries a wide range of Gucci glasses and sunglasses, so Minnesotans have a place to try on the real thing, with expert opticians here to help you find the pair that fits your own sense of style.

The Spectacle Shoppe Experience

More than just trying on glasses, it’s a personalized journey to finding your perfect fit and look.

Bold Italian Design

Gucci frames favor thick, sculptural acetate in dramatic cat-eye and rectangular shapes, a statement-making silhouette that stands apart from the rest of the case.

Signature Brand Details

Look closely, and the details tell the story. The interlocking GG monogram, the house’s red-green-red web stripe, and horsebit hardware borrowed from Gucci’s equestrian roots, all carried through into the eyewear line.

Premium In-House Lenses

Our expert lab crafts premium lenses on-site, ensuring perfect clarity and optimal vision tailored to your prescription.

On-Site Optometrist

Spectacle Shoppe features on-site optometrists, making it convenient to get a comprehensive eye examination and your prescription eyeglasses all in one visit.

As a walk-in I didn't know whether they would repair my glasses and they did, with great results! I’m very happy and will return here for my next pair of glasses. Thank you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have never experienced such an amazing optometrist office before going to Spectacle Shoppe! The service and professionalism was perfect, the doctor was informative and nice! I was in and out faster than I expected and I got little treats at the end :) If you have medical anxiety like I do, this is the place for you! I look forward to coming back

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went in to have 2 sunglasses adjusted, both of which were purchased elsewhere. Jess was so incredibly helpful with adjusting them and providing suggestions on how I can ensure future sunglasses fit best when I buy them. I will certainly be utilizing this Spectacle Shoppe for all of my future sunglass needs! Thanks so much for a wonderful experience.
