The History of L.G.R Eyewear and Why Calgary Loves It
Italian Heritage, Global Appeal: The Story of L.G.R Eyewear
At My Optometrist Calgary, we believe that eyewear should make you feel confident — and inspired. That’s why we’ve chosen to carry L.G.R Eyewear, a brand built on story, tradition, and timeless fashion.
Founded by Luca Gnecchi Ruscone, the brand began after he uncovered a box of vintage frames in his grandfather’s warehouse in Eritrea. Their design and craftsmanship sparked a mission to bring those elegant styles back to life — using traditional Italian artisanship. Today, L.G.R eyewear is worn by tastemakers around the world but remains rooted in the same values: authenticity, heritage, and quality.
Handmade Italian Eyewear in Calgary: Why L.G.R Stands Out
Every pair of L.G.R glasses is handmade in Italy by expert artisans using slow, intentional techniques. From shaping and cutting to polishing and assembly, the focus is always on quality and durability — not mass production.
Key materials include:
- Rich Italian cellulose acetate for color, flexibility, and fit
- High-grade metal components for strength and style
- Tempered mineral glass lenses in sunglasses for clarity and protection
These frames feel different for a reason — they’re made with care, and built to last. When you choose L.G.R, you're investing in eyewear that will hold up over time without sacrificing comfort or character.
