Lafont

Lafont is much more than just another eyewear brand striving for world recognition; it is 4 generations in the optical business from 1923, the iconic name synonymous with Parisian elegance and chic. Featuring almost a century of experience in the industry, the manufacturer creates eyewear that combines a modern, eye-catching design with the latest technology. For over 40 years Lafont has manufactured its products in the Jura region of France, in close collaboration with the Thierry Company. Nowadays, 85% of all glasses obtain an OFG (Origin France Guarantee) certification that assures the French origin of products.

The story of a namesake brand began in 1923, when Louis Lafont opened a small boutique with eyeglasses and hearing aids. In 1972, Philippe (Louis’ grandson) along with his wife Laurence, a Parisian fashion designer, established the brand Lafont and unveiled their first exclusive collection of luxury glasses. Since then, the couple has designed and crafted many unique, innovative products and collaborated with major fashion houses such as Chanel and Hermès. Today, the company operates four boutiques under its own name and distributes to over forty countries worldwide. It is now headed by two Lafont brothers Thomas and Matthieu, who continue transforming spectacles into an iconic fashion accessory.
