Lesca Lunetier.

Clear Vision
We here at the obsessive are big Francophiles, we love France and believe the French do both luxury and the colour blue better than any other nation.
I would be in Paris several times a month for business and would regularly trundle around Paris exploring the different arrondissements. Being a glasses wearer I would always look into the windows of the independent opticians there. This is how I first discovered Lesca Lunetier. The frames are just so French.
In 1964 Joël Lesca started to make glasses, he was inspired by the frames of Corbusier, he set out to craft distinctively French glasses.
The Lesca workshops are in Paris and they do not mass produce, preferring to have a selection of iconic styles and then special editions and collaborations to expand the range.
The frames are thick with 8mm of acetate giving them that classic 50s inspired heavy look.
They’re the perfect accessory when wearing your favourite French clothes brands.
