Eyewear has a fascinating history that spans several centuries.

France is often regarded as the centre of creative eyewear. Brands such as Lesca, the Lissac brothers, Vuarnet are pillars of innovation in this field, but there are many more reknown brands. France emphasizes elegance and sophistication in eyewear.

We, at Vintage Optical Paris, tend to concentrate on models from french lunetiers more particularly on the 1940s to 1970s era, which is considered to be the finest and the pinnacle (1950) of the French eyewear manufacturing industry with a very particular “savoir faire”.

Eyeglasses used to be made by french lunetiers, unbranded and tailor made.

We also specialize in derived Acetate products including hair-wear and jewellery.
