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.
