XXL Frames

Long live the 70’s where oversized frames take over yesterday’s micro frame trend! Say hello to long sunny days with balance and style. Whether you go for prescription glasses or sunglasses, these XXL frames suit everyone. To best achieve this look, choose acetates that play on transparency and textures.

Wild Nature

Variable Geometric Shapes

Back this season, curves give way to square-shaped glasses frames; be it tapered or bold! These shapes will give off a retro vibe and perfectly frame most face shapes.

Floral Motifs

Floral motifs, on both eyeglasses and sunglasses, add sweetness and candor to any look. Delicate, they perfectly frame faces of the young and young at heart giving off a little romance.

Eco-Friendly and Bio-Based Materials

The environment is front and centre of many challenges we face today. The most innovative players in the optical field act advocating bio-based, organic materials or even planting trees for certain frames sold. This is one trend we will be watching closely!
