Based in one of the fashion capitols of the world, Paris, Lafont eyewear is a collection that truly brings something new to the sunglass and eyeglass frame industry. Designed in bold, bright colors and patterns, Lafont eyewear has a range of sophisticated yet fun styles that will allow you to express your individuality in the one accessory you wear every day - your eyewear.

In 1979, Parisian-born Laurence Lafont began designing eyewear exclusively for a local Parisian optical boutique. The line became so popular in France that Lafont began selling its unique, bold frames internationally. Now a worldwide sucess, Lafont eyewear captures the intangible essence of Parisian fashion and combines it with the highest quality of materials. Utilizing acetate, titanium, beta-titanium, and other metals, Lafont eyeglass and sunglass frames are durable and extremely stylish.

Determined to move eyewear into the realm of fashion accessory, Laurence Lafont chooses bold colors such as aqua, purple, teal, and lime to accent her funky frame styles. With lens shapes ranging from cat-eye oval to over-sized round, Lafont always manages to surprise us with their new collections. Intricate detailing on the temples and ridges make for beautiful accents and truly add luxury to each frame.

Lafont is also well-known for their pediatric line of eyewear. With glasses for children as young as 6 months old, Lafont has durable, flexible glasses in cute, kid-friendly styles.
