Gucci Special Edition Heritage Aviators

Italian luxury label Gucci has come out with a cool new collection of “heritage” aviator sunglasses harking back to the brand’s heyday of louche glamour in the ’60s and ’70s. The three new models – 1627/S, 1622/S, and 3108/S – all feature the vintage red and green Gucci stripe and “G” logo on both temples and complete the theme with a special edition leather case and carrying pouch. The case has a wide signature stripe while the pouch has a matching strap. Available in multiple classic color combinations, the best are the basic black versions which have the classic red and green stripe on them. The Gucci 1627/S is a well fitting unisex aviator, the 622/S is a slightly larger unisex cross between an aviator and a wrap, and the 3108/S is a more feminine style. They’re now available for $174, $180 and $170 respectively from haute online eyewear boutique Eyegoodies.
