Why We Love Them | Era & Relevance

Vintage | 1980s–1990s

Vuarnet helped define premium performance eyewear during the 1980s through its partnership with French optician Roger Pouilloux and its industry-leading mineral glass lens technology. While originally developed for alpine sports, these frames have become highly collectible thanks to their unmistakable French design language and exceptional craftsmanship. Unworn examples with the complete presentation kit are becoming increasingly difficult to source.
