The Italian eyewear brand has added a Paris-based boutique
L.G.R, the Italian artisan brand founded by Luca Gnecchi Ruscone, has arrived in Paris, with a stand-alone store in a privileged position in the Marais in Rue du Temple. The company already has five stores in Italy in Rome (St. Peter’s and Piazza di Spagna), Milan, Florence and Venice, and the Paris opening represents its inaugural store abroad. The interior design is in keeping with these existing stores in Italy, with statement details, furniture and fittings that represent the heritage of the brand, and design features inspired by the founder’s grandfather’s store Ottica Bini and its original location in Eritrea.

Luca Gnecchi Ruscone’s statement about the opening was published in a release: “Since the inception of L.G.R, I’ve harbored a dream: to spread our commitment to Italian excellence and artisanal craftsmanship worldwide. With the unveiling of our first international store in Paris, we’re making strides toward turning this dream into reality. Paris stands as a beacon of fashion and style, and we are honored to contribute to this tradition with our collections of handcrafted eyewear made entirely in Italy. This debut store beyond Italian borders forms part of a broader strategy for international expansion, with additional openings slated for the coming months.” www.lgrworld.com
