The Balmain – Françoise II is the latest addition to the Françoise series, which pays homage to Pierre Balmain’s mother, the woman who inspired the couturier’s love for fashion, as well as his devotion to refined elegance and flawless tailoring. With its classic yet on-trend aviator silhouette, Françoise II reinvents an iconic shape with fresh sophistication, exuding magnetic, cinematic allure that channels the glamour of postwar film legends and mid-century Parisian soirées, blending nostalgia with a modern sensibility. Designed for all-day wear. The frame features a lightweight, balanced acetate construction, defined by oversized yet perfectly proportioned contours that deliver the impact of statement eyewear without compromising comfort. Polished metal end-pieces echo the gilded aiguillette cords of military uniforms, bridging Balmain’s storied heritage and sartorial savoir-faire. Strong in character, light in wear, and undeniably stylish, Françoise II fuses mid-century charm with a contemporary edge. Handmade in Japan. Includes Balmain box, hard case, soft case, cleaning cloth, and 1-year manufacturer warranty.
