Espion
- Due to its limited availability (300 pieces worldwide), this frame is final sale and not eligible for return or exchange -
Evoking the daring exploits of clandestine spies and stealthy cat-burglars, it’s easy to see how the edgy, mask-like Espion was originally designed for the many Balmain VIPs who wish to continue on, undetected, as they make their way past paparazzi, gogglers and curious bystanders. Like the finest Balmain runway pieces, this oversized, wrap-around frame deftly melds the house’s essential luxe and sport essences into one singular creation a singular silhouette that is both disruptive and memorable. Balmain Eyewear’s artisans have crafted several impressive, one-of-a-kind touches for the mask like frame, including solid floating hinges to attach the temples and a removable and interchangeable nose piece. True to its VIP positioning, the Espion is presented in a special luxury packaging and each of the trio of distinctive color options (Black/Gold/Grey, White/Gold/Grey, and Crystal Brown/Brown/ Silver-Flash Mirror) is an extremely limited-edition offering: there are only 300 frames available for each of the three distinct tonal choices. Handmade in Japan. Includes Balmain box, hard case, soft case, cleaning cloth, and 1-year manufacturer warranty.
