Introducing Grace de Monaco’s New Sunglasses: Where Cinematic Elegance Meets Racing Heritage

Just in time for the summer season—and the return of the iconic Monaco Grand Prix—Grace de Monaco unveils two new limited-edition sunglasses that capture the essence of timeless style, bold craftsmanship, and European glamour. Inspired by the legendary life and legacy of Princess Grace, these new releases—Chicane and Hitch—offer a striking blend of heritage, design, and modern luxury.

The Chicane Sunglasses: A Nod to the Grand Prix

Named after the infamous Chicane curve on the Monte Carlo Grand Prix track, the Chicane sunglasses are a sleek homage to Monaco’s storied racing past. With a silhouette that echoes the bold lines of 1970s style icons, these rectangular frames evoke the thrill of the track and the sophistication of Riviera summers.

Crafted in Italy from sustainable plant-based acetate, the Chicane is available in two standout colorways:

  • Black with Black Lenses and Gunmetal GDM Detailing – A bold, versatile classic that pairs effortlessly with anything.

  • Amber Tortoise with Green Lenses and Gold GDM Detailing – A refined, sun-drenched palette for the style-forward minimalist.

Each pair features polarized, scratch-resistant lenses with 100% UV protection, and the signature GDM monogram at the temples—a quiet symbol of distinction. Only 200 pairs of each color will be produced, with the first 50 in each edition individually numbered and engraved on the inner temple. Packaged in a velvet-lined case with magnetic closure and a commemorative lens cloth, the Chicane is both a collector’s piece and a wardrobe essential.

The Hitch Sunglasses: Drama, Reinvented

If Chicane is all adrenaline and Riviera cool, the Hitch sunglasses lean into vintage romance with a modern edge. Part of Grace de Monaco’s Drama Collection, the Hitch design features round frames and a delicate keyhole bridge—a tribute to the golden age of cinema.

Available in two refined shades:

  • Chestnut Frames with Blue Lenses and Gold GDM Detailing – Luminous and effortless with a hint of drama.

  • Carob Tortoise Frames with Grey Lenses and Gold GDM Detailing – Understated and elegant, perfect for everyday wear.

Sustainably made in Italy, the Hitch frames offer a lightweight, comfortable fit with polarized, scratch-resistant lenses and 100% UV protection. As with all Grace de Monaco eyewear, each pair is finished with the engraved logo and comes nestled in a velvet-lined case.

Why Grace de Monaco Eyewear Is More Than Fashion

Both new releases are more than accessories—they’re wearable expressions of heritage. With Grace Kelly’s impeccable taste as a guiding light, each design fuses European refinement with lasting craftsmanship. Whether you're sipping rosé in Monte Carlo or strolling city streets, Chicane and Hitch are the final touch to a life lived beautifully.
