L.G.R srl is an Italian eyewear manufacturer of high-end glasses and sunglasses, started by Luca Gnecchi Ruscone in 2007.

Luca Gnecchi Ruscone, whose initials inspired the brand's name, established the company after having made a trip to Eritrea, Africa in 2006. There he visited an optical store in Asmara, owned by his grandfather, where he discovered a box of sunglasses which had been imported from Italy 50 years earlier.

After having returned to Italy with the sunglasses, Luca began to receive many requests for the frames. He then decided to start a business, where he was able to re-open the original factory which had closed in 1968 due to the arrival of new technologies and industrial methods. He began a small production of four of the authentic frames that would respect the same artisan methods of their original make. From then on the line has developed into a selection of sunglasses and optical frames, which are all inspired by the original discovery made in Asmara.
