Spotlight on 🔦 Anne et Valentin

The SUNSET CITY concept carries a sense of solidity and substance that rejuvenates the face of the wearer.

The strong, distinguished lines of certain models, the beveled face, carefully sculpted temples and geometric proportions of others…this line is entirely focused on density, energy and light. The essential pair of sunglasses.

The women’s frames are incredibly sensual, sexy and playful, and come in hot shades, with syrupy, opaline, translucent tones (olive green or candy pink) as well as classic colours like black and tortoiseshell.

Barry came to us after noticing some changes in his vision and was ready for a fresh new pair of glasses.

He chose a frame from Albert I'mStein — quirky, fun, and full of personality, just like him. It's a bold choice that’s also super wearable (win-win!).

After a thorough consultation, Jocelyn and Vanessa recommended Hoya Sensity Colours lenses to support his specific vision needs. These clever lenses have a subtle orange hue indoors to boost contrast, and when exposed to UV light, they transform into a stylish dark grey tint — perfect for outdoor adventures.

We're so glad Barry trusted us — nothing better than seeing a smile and better sight 🤝
