LONDON-based skate brand Palace has teamed up with British eyewear label Cutler and Gross for a new collection, marking Palace’s first foray into high-end eyewear.
The collaboration sees the release of three styles: Mercury, Victory, and Jupiter, captured in a campaign shot by Palace co-founder Lev Tanju, featuring familiar faces from the Palace family, including Shawn Powers, Lucien Clarke, John Knight, and Ville Wester.

Channelling Palace’s skate energy and the handcrafted luxury of Cutler and Gross, the line draws inspiration from none other than the Roman god Mercury, a symbol of speed and fluidity. So, the range incorporates the new wing motif, a contemporary take on Cutler and Gross’s iconic oyster pin. Details include an intricately engraved gold core wire, Palace’s ancient coin insignia, and its Triferg logo.
