• ACUITIS: stylish and eco-responsible glasses Made in France
While all brands in the world of optics are now “eco-responsible”, the Acuitis brand has been betting on this criterion for more than a decade already. Founded in 2010, the house owes its beautiful creations to Frédéric Beausoleil, French Eyewear Artist who imagines and designs all the optical, solar and hearing collections of the brand. The one who participated in the launch of the Marc Jacobs range of glasses and the relaunch of the Cartier range of glasses bet from the start on frames made of cellulose acetate, a material made up of 90% cotton. Still today, the company reuses acetate waste and actively recycles scrap material so that nothing is lost.

• FRANCOIS PINTON: the French eyewear heritage
The Francois Pinton eyewear saga was born thanks to Robert Francois Pinton.

His son, Dominique, then his grandchildren continued the legend by renewing and offering collections of frames with a unique style, which over the decades have become true objects of passion inscribed in history.

• JIMMY FAIRLY:
Contrary to popular belief, the brand is not American but French! It was also created by Antonin Chartier, a young man who after a career in sports studies and a few years in psychology decided to move towards the optics sector. The brand was launched out of a desire to change the optical sector, to bring innovation and transparency to it. It is therefore an inspiring eyewear brand with a fair price and a positive social impact.
