Made to last
What would you like to know?
The real issue
Too many glasses end up in the trash
A large part of the market relies on cheap mass-produced plastic frames designed to be replaced rather than repaired. This results in millions of pairs being thrown away each year, made from plastic that barely gets recycled.
We made the opposite choice. A frame you keep, that you repair, that you replace as seldom as possible. Keeping your glasses longer is what prevents the most waste. Nothing flashy, but it works.
Our materials
Acetate, metal, bio-acetate
Our frames are made from hypoallergenic acetate and metal, chosen for their durability. We favour materials that last and can be repaired. You'll find them on our prescription glasses and our sunglasses.
Made of different stuff
More and more bio-acetate
We've launched over fifteen models in bio-acetate, a material partly derived from plants that replaces a portion of plastic sourced from petroleum.
We move forward model by model, without rushing. We only convert a frame if quality and comfort remain at the highest level. Converting our entire collection will take time, and we'd rather do it right than do it fast.
Repairable
Designed to be repaired, not replaced
- In-store service, no appointment needed.A loose arm, a frame to straighten, pads to replace? Drop by whenever it suits you. We'll sort it on the spot, no waiting and no paperwork, on all our frames.
- Spare parts for life.Beyond the first year of warranty, we always replace arms, pads, screws and hinges free of charge, with no time limit and subject to stock availability. You only pay for shipping.
- Warranty beyond the legal minimum.In addition to statutory guarantees, your frame is covered for one year by our commercial warranty.
Packaging and shipping
We rethought all our packaging
This is often where waste hides. Plastic sleeves, over-packaging, pointless padding. A package can generate a lot of waste for very little. We rethought every element, from the outer box to the frame protection.
- Recycled cardboard.Our shipping box is made from recycled cardboard, and is recyclable again once it reaches you.
- No plastic pouch.We've eliminated the plastic shipping bag. Your glasses never leave in a plastic envelope.
- Recycled plastic on the frame.The protective pouch for the frame is made from recycled plastic. The industry standard is still virgin plastic. We chose recycled.
- Rigid cardboard, case that delivers.The cardboard is rigid and compliant with European packaging regulations. Inside, a quality case built to last well beyond delivery.
Transport
Sea and rail before air
When it comes to shipping goods, air freight is by far the biggest emitter. Whenever possible, we bring our products by sea and rail rather than by air. It's our default choice, not the exception.
Internally, we apply the same rule. Since 2025, air travel is banned for our teams' business trips within France. We travel by train.
Our manufacturers
We know who makes our glasses, and we prove it
Our frames are produced by partner manufacturers we work with directly and have worked with long-term. This lasting relationship lets us demand real standards and monitor quality closely. These manufacturers are audited and certified, and each certification covers one specific area.
- Sedex.Working conditions and social and environmental practices.
- ISO 9001 and ISO 13485.Manufacturing rigor, including for medical devices like prescription glasses.
- ISCC PLUS.Traceability of sustainable materials in the supply chain.
Our products pass compliance checks and carry the CE mark. What doesn't meet our standards doesn't reach our stores.
Our principles
We say less, and we prove it
Optics isn't immune to greenwashing. Many brands promise recycled, sustainable, responsible products without substance behind them. We stick to what we can demonstrate: the material, repairs, packaging, our manufacturers' certifications. When we go further, we'll write about it with proof, not grand words.
