At Urban Optiques, we love everything about the Lafont Eyewear line.
Their frame construction is impeccable, their eyeglass and sunglass designs run the gamut from conservative to wild (but always maintain that chic Parisian design aesthetic) and they are one of the few remaining European designer eyewear brands to remain independent.
Oh, did we mention they happen to have one of the coolest optical boutiques ever?
If you plan on making a trip to Paris, we highly recommend including a stop at the Lafont boutique on your itinerary along with the Louvre and, of course, shopping on Place Vendôme.
But if a trip across the pond to France isn’t in your immediate future, check out this fantastic video that puts you right inside the original Lafont-Paris optical shop at 11 rue Vignon where it all began in 1923:
LOVE the purple chairs, BTW.
Of course, you don’t have to travel to Paris to get Lafont eyewear, we have it right here in downtown Northville. Think of Urban Optiques as your Paris-on-the-Rouge.
While we usually only serve beaujolais on Girls Night Out, Art Walk and special events, we do have enough Lafont eyewear in stock to make you feel like your walking along the Seine … even if your not.
