Frame Styling

Francois Pinton:

Exquisite craftmanship and a passion for style are at the forefront of François Pinton eyewear. Originating in Paris during the roaring twenties, artisan jeweler Robert François Pinton created an eyewear line that would quickly become synonymous with chic and glamorous pieces that will last a lifetime. During the sixties and seventies, his son Dominique Pinton would continue the legacy when he became the personal optician for European elite, including a truly one-of-a-kind piece for Aristote Onassis. He would continue to create beloved silhouettes for iconic women such as Jacky Onassis, Brigitte Bardot, and Grace Kelly. Often imitated, but never duplicated, these styles are still handmade in Paris today. Come experience the excellence of this classically French eyewear house at Westlake Hills Vision Center.

Plein Les Mirettes:

Feminine shapes complimented by bold color combinations are at the heart of Plein Les Mirettes. Designers Christophe and Pascal wanted to create a line of eyewear that was as beautiful and unique as the women who would be wearing their pieces. Each collection symbolizes a different personality: Lady, Diva, Rebel…and allows the wearer to express exactly who they want to embody for the day. Each frame design is created as a limited series collection of 75 pieces per color, so individuality is guaranteed. Combining style and functionality, these pieces are truly gorgeous accessories for the face.

Binoche:

At the heart of binôche is the question, “What is art if not unique, individual, and personal?” This Belgian brand is designed in Antwerp and manufactured in collaboration with the best facilities in France and Italy, ensuring that quality is always at the forefront. Celebrating twenty years of creating eye-catching pieces, binôche is a modern trendsetter among their peers. Always detail oriented, each piece features thoughtful elements such as rolled metal temples and flattering color combinations.

Mattisse:

Inspired by French artist Henri Matisse, Mattisse Eyewear combines hand painted materials with timeless shapes to create “happy frames.” Started by husband-and-wife duo Meryl and Sammy, these pieces are designed in New York and crafted in Italy. Due to the hand-made nature of each piece, no two frames are alike. This makes Mattisse Eyewear a fun line to wear and a true conversation starter. Each piece is protected by a state-of-the-art laminate process that helps to extend the long life of the unique product. When coming up with new designs, Meryl utilizes her art degree and pulls inspiration from decades of rich art history as well as natural elements, such as butterflies.

Chopard:

Chopard is a name synonymous with timeless elegance and quality among those who collect jewelry and timepieces. Now, explore the world through a new lens with the Chopard Eyewear collection. Feminine frames feature details prominent in Chopard’s iconic Ice Cube, Imperiale, and Happy Diamond jewelry pieces. Men’s pieces are classic, yet contemporary; many of these frames feature hand-made constructions and combinations of materials such as carbon fiber, rubber, or wood. The cherry on top is the “Journey to Sustainable Luxury” that Chopard has committed to since 2013. Ethical gold is sourced from small-scale and artisanal mines in Peru and Colombia. Feel as good as you look wearing this fully sustainable eyewear.

Gotti:

Made in Switzerland and featuring a minimal design and ultralight feel, Götti Perspective frames are perfect for those who want to explore a sleek, rimless look. A customizable system featuring different sizing and color options allows the wearer to create virtually limitless looks. Uncomplicated in design, the body of the frame doesn’t utilize traditional connection methods, such as screws or glue, to assemble your perfect pair. These pieces were highly popularized when Oprah Winfrey wore her “OR02” frames in her exclusive interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The classic rimless style can be accessorized with “Bold” and “Loop” 3D-printed accents in a variety of color options, making the frames even more outstanding.

David Spencer Eyewear: David Spencer has spent a lifetime around eyewear as the son of an optometrist. Years after opening his own high-end optical store in the heart of the Minneapolis arts and cultural scene, David was able to find the gaps missing in the eyewear industry and eventually pivoted to creating his own namesake line. The pieces are designed, sketched, and conceptualized in Minneapolis, Minnesota before being hand-crafted in Japan. David’s passion for his craft can be felt when wearing one of his pieces.

Henry Jullien:

Henry Jullien stands apart from the crowd by using proprietary materials and specialized techniques to ensure that their frames are made-to-last. The collection consists of an Origin Series and the Nano Studio Series. Origin Series frames are hand assembled by Henry Jullien artisans in their factory at Lons Le Saunier in Jura-France. Each piece is certifiably gold-filled, which is 100 times thicker compared to the much more common gold plating, and just a step down from solid gold when it comes to quality and value. The frames each get a finish in either 18K gold, palladium, or ruthenium plating. The Nano Studio Series frames are created using Nanofit Steel alloy, a proprietary metal that utilizes “nanotechnology to modify the molecular structure of traditional stainless-steel alloy.” This creates a stronger, more flexible material that is resistant to tarnishing and abrasions. Classic silhouettes meet timeless materials in this unique men’s line.
