Welcome to the whimsical world of Anne & Valentin—a brand sparked by the fantastical dreams of two Opticians from the charming town of Toulouse in the sunny South-West of France. Picture this: a couple on a quest for funky and unique frames for their pals, only to realize that the perfect frames were nowhere to be found. What did they do? They decided to weave their own magic into the eyewear universe!
Fast forward to today, and they’re still dancing to the beat of their own drum, fueled by a fierce sense of independence and a family-like spirit. Their vision is a kaleidoscope of creativity, blending high standards with an unabashed love for eyewear artistry.
Step into the Anne & Valentin creation studio, where designers don their thinking caps and make Design the star of the show. They’re on a perpetual quest to redefine lines, reshape volumes, and reimagine the dance between frames and faces. Their inspirations? They plunder the treasure trove of artistic expressions throughout history—architecture, photography, plastic arts, fashion, cinema—you name it! Frames, visuals, store decor, and furniture are the tangible results of creative musings.
The Anne & Valentin story is an ever-evolving tapestry woven with threads from everyone they meet: friends, customers, strangers they bump into on the street, and even emerging or established artists. The kaleidoscope of personalities, ages, styles, and genres inspires their creative flow. Art in all its forms—their perpetual muse. It’s a whirlwind of movement, transformation, color, and matter. Their curiosity? It’s as boundless as the universe!
Now, let’s talk “Made in Anne & Valentin.” They are not just opticians; they are creators on a mission. They get the adventure involved in crafting a frame, from inception to completion. It’s a journey, and they are the fearless pioneers navigating the seas of eyewear innovation.
And when they say “Made in France,” they mean it with all their hearts. Toulouse is their birthplace, and “Made In France” is not just a label—it’s a moral commitment. For the past 30 years, they’ve been hand in frame with the same factories nestled in the French Jura mountains, with only a few titanium models taking a detour to Japan because, let’s face it, the best titanium is Made in Japan.
So, welcome to the Anne & Valentin universe, where frames are not just accessories; they’re the stars of a fantastical show, and you’re invited to join the spectacle!
