Why we picked it
I brought this GG 1100 into the Foundry collection because genuine vintage Gucci eyewear at this level of legibility - model number intact, colorway coherent, hardware warm and present - is genuinely hard to come by in the current sourcing landscape. The 60mm aviator proportion is exactly the scale Gucci was doing so well in this period, and the brown and gold pairing has an unhurried confidence that reads as collected rather than costumed. It is the kind of frame that anchors a wardrobe without announcing itself too loudly.
Few frames carry the pedigree of Gucci, and this GG 1100 aviator is a case study in why the house's eyewear remains so coveted among collectors. A vintage find of this caliber does not surface often, and once it sells, it is gone for good.
Finished in a warm brown and gold colorway, this aviator frame carries the aged character expected of a true vintage piece. The 60mm sizing gives it a bold, face-forward presence, true to the aviator silhouette Gucci became known for.
