Spotlight on: The Frances / The Robie Sunglasses

Grace de Monaco’s The Frances/The Robie sunglasses are a tribute to 1950s Hollywood and a nod to one of the most iconic duos in cinematic history. Inspired by Grace Kelly and Cary Grant’s unforgettable performances in Alfred Hitchcock’s "To Catch a Thief," these sunglasses capture the impeccable sense of style these legendary figures exuded on and off the screen.

Legendary style

In the sun-drenched French Riviera, Grace Kelly’s character, Frances Stevens, showcased era-defining style in every scene. Her wardrobe—carefully curated by the legendary Edith Head—epitomized Riviera chic. The Frances sunglasses echo this spirit with their rounded silhouette and minimalist lines, evoking the same sense of glamour that Frances Stevens embodied. The Frances, available in translucent Sage with grey gradient lenses and translucent Rose Crystal with mauve lenses, reflects the character’s flirtatious, feminine side. These subtle hues easily complement different looks and are a great way to infuse Frances’ style codes.

Cary Grant’s character, John Robie, was the perfect counterpart to Frances’ innate elegance. With his suave demeanor and impeccable wardrobe, Grant’s style was understated yet undeniably compelling. The Robie sunglasses channel this effortless charm, featuring smooth, clean lines that mirror the sophistication of Grant’s character. But the appeal of The Robie doesn’t stop at the screen. Off-camera, Cary Grant was known for his polished style, a mix of flawless tailoring and casual cool that has influenced generations of men. The Robie sunglasses, available in Tortoise with brown lenses, are a fitting homage, capturing the essence of Cary Grant’s signature look in a modern, wearable design.
