Vuarnet sunglasses

Vuarnet is a style icon with a pretty unique story! In 1957, Roger Pouilloux, an avant-garde optician passionate about skiing developed an exceptional glass, the Skilynx, that offered both a great protection and an enhanced vision of the terrain, even in overcast weather. Proud of its achievement, he offered a pair of sunglasses to the ski champion Jean Vuarnet who immediately went on to win the Downhill at the 1960 Winter Olympics! Building on this success, the two men soon decided to combine their know-how under the Vuarnet name. Fast forward to today and the Vuarnet sunglasses are still handcrafted near Paris, using 100% mineral glass lenses unlike most other brands. Over the years, they have become a symbol of performance, style and quality, in the 80’s, saying “It’s a Vuarnet day today” was even a metaphor for a sunny day! And it’s no coincidence: equipped with their polarized or Lynx® technologies, theses shades combine the highest levels of protection, precision and comfort with some truly iconic designs like the Glacier, the model 02 or the model 06... These names may not ring a bell for you but we’re pretty sure you’ve already seen them on the faces of world-class actors, just think about Alain Delon in “La Piscine”, Jeff Bridges in “The Big Lebowski” or Daniel Craig in “Spectre”. Speaking of which, Vincent Cassel is the latest ambassador of the brand…
