Always surprisingly innovative and striking, the J.F. REY eyewear is a celebration of artistic freedom and individuality. The world-famous brand was founded by Jean-François Rey, a French designer who has always expressed a love for provocative and ambitious eyewear styles. Taking inspiration from modern urban architecture and the natural world, he creates impressive glasses for men, women and kids. The J.F. REY design studio is the birthplace of the most unexpected ideas, which are transformed into one-of-a-kind sunglasses and optical frames. Crafted with the greatest respect for materials and the mastery of versatile know-how, the frames are high-quality and ultra-comfortable pieces. Fashion, design and high-tech features are fully integrated in the development process of the J.F. REY glasses.
Elegance and charm are the brand’s top priorities. For nearly 30 years, Jean-François Rey has been masterfully blending shapes and colors with unparalleled style and pizzazz, introducing head-turning eyewear designs. J.F. REY creates not just glasses but an emotion, a visual catch that provokes extreme excitement. Each concept is developed over the long term by the House’s studio, and adapted to different functional and aesthetic needs. Choose from modern and chic Petite Collection (designed especially for thin faces), the 1985 Collection that offers retro-inspired frames, the poetic BOZ Collection created to illuminate the wearer’s face, or the VOLTE FACE collection that demonstrates the richness of translucent and colored acetates, the finesse of the shapes.

History
The celebrated French House J.F. REY is an independent design company of high-end sunglasses and optical frames that was founded in 1995 by Joëlle and Jean-François Rey, who have shared their passion for stylish eyewear since they met each other. The company was built on new ideas, enthusiasm, creative freedom and technical know-how. As the brand’s Art Director, Joëlle quickly discovered her personal style masterfully blending acetate and colors with modern style and sophistication. Almost immediately after launching his namesake brand, Jean-François began a long and successful line of collaborations with the world-famous fashion houses, including Issey Miyake and Marithé François Girbaud. Those eyewear campaigns took over fashion runways by storm with their chic and extravagant designs.
Over the years, the House's design team has become absolute experts in mixing metal, aluminum, acetate, titanium, leather and rich colorways. The wood and carbon alliance also found its place in the J.F. REY eyewear collections. The designers still continue to discover new materials joining them together, all the while breaking established codes on both a creative and technical level. This is how new stunning combinations and exciting possibilities are always created. Today, the House includes four successful sub-brands, each marked by its own style and brand identity. The courage to overcome boundaries, try new things, take risks by disrupting conventions – this is why J.F. REY is scored big among eyewear aficionados and makes it stand out from the rest.
