François Pinton eyewear

After heading the fascinating Maison Meyrowitz, Robert François Pinton created his own eyewear brand in 1953, under the name Maison François Pinton. The founder's world was located in the heart of Paris, where he designed his first collections for the international gotha. Each François Pinton frame is unique. By making his eyewear by hand, the designer has established himself in the French tradition and demonstrated his passion for exacting standards. With his retro designs, he has conquered the French, Parisian and international social elite.

Robert Pinton is the founder who created the Ona and Jackie O models for Aristotle Onassis. Over the years, numerous celebrities have worn the iconic François Pinton frames, including Jacques and Bernadette Chirac, François Mitterrand, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, Marlène Dietrich, Grâce Kelly, Marcel Pagnol... Tailor-made, precision-crafted models.

Over the years, his son Dominique, and now his grandchildren, have continued the adventure, creating frames with a unique style. They have become true collector's items, part of our heritage.

Today, handcrafted from rare materials, François Pinton frames bear the imprint of those who made them and who are passionate about handcrafting. Pinton craftsmen know how to judge the quality of raw acetate, correct a line, adjust a bridge or revisit a frame... The production of a frame requires up to a dozen different crafts. In short, François Pinton models are true masterpieces.

If you're looking for vintage eyewear, François Pinton is the frame for you. Nevertheless, the collections are not limited to re-editions of the models of yesteryear. New colors, modernized shapes, plastic and metal models are also available. Today, you'll find sunglasses and optical collections for men and women.

Treat yourself to a different look with handcrafted frames

Looking for a pair of designer eyeglasses with a history? The François Pinton label offers what you'd expect from a frame. Handcrafted from innovative, high-end materials, they combine craftsmanship and originality. François Pinton eyewear frames are made of metal or cellulose acetate, a particularly flexible material that won't warp. This hypoallergenic material comes from Italian cotton.

All these frames are timeless and sophisticated, perfectly in tune with the times. Choose from retro, vintage, modern and classic shapes, or the most emblematic ones brought up to date. They're sure to seduce the most demanding of you. The colors are numerous: white, blue, tortoiseshell, purple, gray... You're bound to find one that suits you. Choose from aviator, rectangular and round shapes.

François Pinton prescription glasses are suitable for all optical defects: myopia, presbyopia, hyperopia, astigmatism... The lenses come from the French company Essilor, which designs, manufactures and markets ophthalmic optical equipment and corrective lenses. On our site, corrective lenses are fitted by MyMonture's qualified opticians. For added comfort, we offer lenses for your optical correction, but also to protect your eyes from the sun's rays by adding different coatings to your lenses.

You can choose photochromic lenses. They change color according to the brightness of the sun and become clear indoors. If you play sport, especially golf, opt for hydrophobic lenses that help water run off the lens, or if you go hiking or cycling, choose oleophobic lenses that prevent dirt build-up. Or why not! Polarized lenses that use a filter to eliminate glare.
