Francis Klein Eyewear is a luxury French brand founded and run by a close-knit family.

Founded in France in the 1970s, Francis Klein Eyewear is a husband and wife collaboration that transformed the luxury eyewear sector.

Francis Klein, an Optician, and his wife, Michèle, an Interior Designer, created the Francis Klein brand to offer style-conscious consumers eyewear options that stood out from the mundane frames on the market at the time.

50 years later and their eyecatching styles continue to offer exciting eyewear choices for those eager to look and feel their best in their glasses. Their daughters, Dixie and Betty, now run the family business and ensure those who refuse to settle for ordinary frames can find something dazzling, distinguished, and delightfully detailed.

Francis Klein Frames are as unique as you are.

Francis Klein frames ensure that wearing glasses is anything but boring! 

Each detailed design is unique, glamorous, bold, colourful, and undeniably sophisticated.

Frame shapes, such as the ones shown below, build on the classic cat-eye and often feature hand-painted, hand-adorned, and hand-jeweled accents, including lace, fabric, feathers, metal acetates, and Swarovski crystals. The result is an aesthetic that is quite simply unlike anything you have ever seen before…

Francis Klein Glasses are handcrafted with care utilising the highest quality materials.

Handmade in Paris, France, with passion and precision, each Francis Klein frame is individually crafted by a team of highly specialised artisans, utilising best-in-class materials.

Each skilled professional on the team takes the utmost care to perfect their step of the curation process, from the original sketch and laser drawing, to the detailed painting, meticulous engraving, and hand-placed embellishments. 

The premium materials, including haute couture jewelry, artisanal filigree, and fine Italian acetates, assure the highest quality, value, and uniqueness of each frame, while ensuring your investment in exceptional style stands the test of time.
