Anne & Valentin was born of the wild dream of a couple of opticians in Toulouse in search of unique glasses with striking graphic lines for their friends.

Their secret to creating original glasses that dress you, without disguising or betraying who you are, resides in the love and the interest they instill into the objects themselves. They’re  involved in each stage of the manufacture.
In the creation phase, the designers approach certain frames the way they would of certain people.

What today, and probably more than anything, characterizes the work of Anne & Valentin is expression. Expression of our freedom and independence, as much as of values, which remain aesthetic and human above all. Expression, also, of the respect we have for our customers, with their rich and singular personalities, and for their desires... of expression.

Yes, everything is about feelings. Yes, everything is based on emotion.
Intelligence can only serve its purpose if it is cultivated with the greatest sensitivity. The Anne & Valentin creative studio is both a research workshop and a design space, where our designers work alone or as a team. Their collections express the unlimited wealth and inspiration, as well as the high standards that certain artists trigger in us, which we in turn put in their work. The very heart of their collective mind focuses on line and on color.

The frames are hand made in France and Japan. This is an ongoing commitment to provide the best materials to the customers. They have been working with the same factories in the Jura region for more than 20 years, for the titanium models, because Japan is where the best titanium is to be found.

“Don’t try to stand out. Try to do something remarkable”.
