At Designer Optics, we are proud to be a stockist of the legendary French fashion house, Balmain. The brand was founded in Paris in 1945 by Pierre Balmain, and the brand is notorious for its seamless tailoring and feminine designs. Balmain glasses are made by the Swiss eyewear manufacturer Akoni, who create the frames to the same quality of craftsmanship as Balmain’s fashion pieces. During their Fall/Winter 2020 runway show, the Balmain models strutted down the runway wearing oversized black sunglasses that featured the brand’s synonymous gold hardware. The Balmain eyewear collection is popular amongst both celebrities and fashion bloggers, with its optical frames and luxurious investment-worthy sunglasses.
