"sunglasses are one of the few objects that define a man. just like a watch, belt,
or a pair of shoes, they enhance the silhouette and give it character. this pair
of sunglasses imagined with l’ingénieur chevallier was designed to be a refined
essential of the masculine wardrobe."

The exceptional limited edition sunglasses, unveiled during
paris fashion week, will be available on fursac.com and in selected stores in france and internationally.
“everything starts with the materials, the quality of the design, the durability of
the piece, and its ability to age gracefully over time, and then comes the style and
personality of the overall look.”
