Anne et Valentin make eyewear – it’s in their blood. They believe a frame should not only flatter and complement, but express who you really are. The purpose
of Anne et Valentin Eyewear is to express the essence of every individual through their choice of eyewear. Each time you put on your frame, you present yourself to the world just as you are. Anne et Valentin’s sole existence is due to… Anne et Valentin. When these two forces of nature were struck by lightning during a chance encounter, Fate offered them a future, which they shared professionally and personally for thirty years, their hearts beating as one. The deeply united couple spent their lives nurturing and expanding their brand over time. In Toulouse, where the company was founded and where its headquarters still harbor the core of the team, the Anne et Valentin lively spirit has been an inspiration to many. The adventure truly begins in September 1980 when Valentin the neo-hippie obtains his optician’s degree. The two lovebirds are eager to start an optical store with a different approach than what is available at the time, with a unique selection of original, nondescript frames and a radically different sales philosophy.
