FAMILY

HERITAGE

The story of François Pinton eyewear originated with Robert François Pinton. After running the prestigious Maison Meyorwitz, he designed his first exclusive collections for the international elite and founded Maison François Pinton in 1953. His son Dominique and then his grandchildren continued the journey, updating the collections and offering frames with unique style. Over the decades, the models of the House have become prized objects with an incredible sense of history.
