Brand History

An homage to the hunter typical glasses. These sunglasses are not only a symbol of style, but also fine shooting eyewear. With their yellow photochromic and polycarbonate lenses, L.G.R's Polverosa shooting frames will allow you to shoot directly to your target without any distracting glares, offering the highest protection to your eyes.
On a trip in 2005, Luca visited one of the optical stores in Asmara, Eritrea owned by his grandfather who had once lived in Africa from 1930 to 1970. There he discovered a box of sunglasses, which had been imported from Italy 50 years earlier. Fascinated by the elegant design of the frames, Luca brought the pieces back to Italy. The news of his discovery spread, and instantly requests poured in for these unique sunglasses. He tracked down the original manufacturers and began a small production of the authentic frames, respecting the traditional artisanal methods of the past. Soon after, Luca began to sell them to exclusive boutiques all over Europe. Following much success in 2008, he participated to a showroom event in Paris, which resulted in his first published article in the prestigious magazine, Vogue Paris.
