Named for the beautiful French Alpine village where Pierre Balmain was born over a hundred years ago, the Saint Jean frame channels the spirit of the Balmain’s founder’s earliest days when, as a young man, he moved to Paris to study and work with some of France’s great architects. That early training incorporated a respect for precision and form that clearly marked the designer’s creations for the rest of his life. Far from a typical optical frame, Saint Jean’s distinctive squared-circle frames, skilled acetate-titanium pairing and bold form-follows-function lines reflect the architectural precision and principals that the young Pierre Balmain absorbed and translated into his house’s innovative and influential “New French Style.” Handmade in Japan. Includes Balmain box, hard case, soft case, cleaning cloth, and 1-year manufacturer warranty.
