Françoise
The Balmain – Françoise is named in honor of Françoise Balmain, the resilient woman who raised Pierre Balmain on her own and later helped guide his couture house for decades. This frame captures her enduring sense of elegance and strength, blending classic style with a spirit of determination. The oversized square front, crafted from premium Japanese acetate, evokes the polished glamour of postwar film icons—figures who once graced both the front rows of Balmain runway shows and the intimate gatherings of Françoise’s Parisian soirées. Signature chain-inspired detailing at the end pieces draws from the house’s iconic tactile motifs, adding a touch of sculptural luxury. Handmade in Japan. Includes Balmain box, hard case, soft case, cleaning cloth, and 1-year manufacturer warranty.
