reuters<\/a>Gucci-branded Android XR smart glasses are coming, with Kering CEO Luca De Meo confirming the glasses for 2027.<\/p>\nFor those unfamiliar, Kering is the French luxury conglomerate that owns Gucci. The company announced a partnership with Google to create AI-powered Glasses on the Android XR platform in May 2025. No specifications have been confirmed yet. It’s also unclear whether the Gucci Edition will include an in-lens display or just audio features like a camera, microphone, and speaker.<\/p>\n

The setup is almost identical to what Meta did with Ray-Ban. Tech handles the internals, fashion brands handle the frame. Samsung’s Android XR glasses are following the same approach, with Gentle Monster on the premium side and Warby Parker for a broader audience. Gucci sits on a different level altogether. Ray-Ban glasses cost $300 to $400. Gucci frames routinely cost several times more than they did before any technology was involved.<\/p>\n
Reuters noted that Google did not comment on the partnership. For context, Essilor Luxottica reports that Meta smart glasses sales will more than triple in 2025, reaching 7 million units. When Google signs deals like this it clearly has its eye on this number. Whether anyone wants to spend Gucci’s money on smart glasses is a different question, but 2027 is still a long way off.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
