Gucci owner Kering is aiming to launch Gucci smart glasses with Google in 2027, which could make it one of the first luxury brands in the Android XR space. According to Reuters, Kering CEO Luca de Meo said the timeline is “probably next year, 2027” when asked about the project during the company’s capital markets day in Florence. That would put Gucci up against Meta and EssilorLuxottica, whose Ray-Ban smart glasses are still the best-known example of tech and eyewear brands jointly exploring the niche.
