Description

Cats-eye sunglasses, popularised in the 50s, rocketed to worldwide vogue in 60s Hollywood film. The exaggerated upswept frame has seen a resurgence, it could be said this style is experiencing its renaissance. Countless iterations and imitations exist with few truly unique designs emerging.

Named after the stoic companion to French Carthusian Monks, the Chartreux is an understated interpretation, with sculpted acetate reminiscent of its namesake’s muscular form. Embellished with bespoke luxury metal hardware and finished with a subtle catlike brow, this homage to the classic style is altogether unique.

Exclusivity

Exclusivity

Each piece is hand crafted to collectible quality, individually numbered and never repeated. There are never more than 100 frames created in each colour, all supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity to validate its existence. The merit in adhering to a promise to never repeat any style once it has sold out stems from the profound respect for the sanctity of originality and the quest for constant innovation. This commitment is a bold statement, an affirmation of the brand's dedication to creating unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that are as individual as the people who come to possess them.

There is a guilty pleasure in wearing a limited piece. That feeling of traipsing into a roped area whilst others wait outside. Our directors share an affection for the past, whilst romanticised there is something to be said of a time where even mundane objects had meaning. Heirlooms. In essence, the promise to never repeat a style once it has sold out is a powerful embodiment of exclusivity, innovation, and commitment to artistic integrity. It elevates each frame from mere commodities to timeless piece of art, each carrying a piece of the creator's soul and a story that is uniquely its own.
