ELITE,

A capsule collection inspired by the greatest figures of the 20th century.

In addition to its renowned optical and sunglasses collections, François Pinton Paris offers a collection known as Elite. Five letters that bring together the brand’s iconic, must-have models.

François Pinton Paris has always been rich in history, passion and encounters, like the iconic models worn by Jacky and Aristotle Onassis, the explosive couple of the 60s, or Grace Kelly. There are always personalities in politics and the arts for whom eyewear is a signature. Today, their frames are a true source of creative inspiration.

Whether for the Élite collection or for all its collections, François Pinton Paris has chosen to manufacture its products by hand, in the heart of Normandy and the Jura, maintaining close links with its workshops, thus perpetuating its tradition of well-made frames.
