Explore expressive French eyewear design with Anne et Valentin at Konstantin. Established in Toulouse in 1984, the brand is known for its bold graphic structures, refined color compositions, and avant-garde character. Each handcrafted frame reflects a continuous exploration of form and color created for individuals who value originality and artistic identity.
Anne et Valentin began as a wild dream. In Toulouse, France in 1980, a couple of opticians — both named Anne and Valentin — set out to create something the eyewear industry had largely overlooked: glasses designed around the person wearing them, not the other way around
What started as a search for unique frames with striking graphic lines for their friends became one of the most distinctive and fiercely independent eyewear labels in the world.
Their guiding principle has never changed: frames should dress you, without disguising or betraying who you are.
As an authorized Anne et Valentin dealer, at Konstantin Vision, we carry Anne et Valentin eyeglasses at our NYC showroom — and they consistently draw in the clients who know exactly what they’re looking for.
These are not frames for the undecided. Anne et Valentin attracts people with a strong sense of self: creatives, professionals, and free thinkers who want eyewear that reflects their personality with honesty and flair.
With bold graphic lines, unexpected color combinations, and geometric silhouettes that feel both avant-garde and entirely wearable, Anne et Valentin occupies a space in eyewear that very few brands can claim.
Our licensed opticians will guide you through the full collection — no pressure, no rush — just an honest conversation about which frame is right for you
Anne et Valentin’s creative studio in France operates as both a research workshop and a design space — a place where designers work alone or together, sharing music, books, and ideas the same way artists in any discipline do.
Their collections are not trend-driven. Designers approach each frame the way they would approach a person — considering personality, character, and how the design will interact with the individual who wears it.
The result is eyewear that plays deeply with geometry, texture, and color. Their signature ALPHA collection is known for its bold dual-color veneers and graphic precision. THE SYMBOLIQUES collection takes a different path — 100% titanium frames inspired by fine watchmaking, blending refined vintage detail with a thoroughly modern sensibility.
Every piece is about expression. Expression of freedom, of individuality, of the belief that remarkable design and genuine wearability are never at odds.
Anne et Valentin has worked with the same factories in the Jura region of France for over 20 years.
This is not a coincidence — it’s a commitment. The Jura is the historic heartland of French eyewear manufacturing, and working with the same artisan partners decade after decade ensures a level of consistency, trust, and craft that cannot be replicated through outsourced mass production.
Acetate frames are handcrafted in France. Titanium models are sourced from Japan — because, as Anne et Valentin simply put it, Japan is where the best titanium is to be found.
The brand is involved at every stage of manufacture, from the first design sketch to the finished frame. That hands-on approach shows in every detail — in the depth of the colors, the precision of the lines, and the way each frame feels in your hands.
At Konstantin Vision, every Anne et Valentin frame comes backed by our two-year warranty and the expertise of our licensed opticians, with over 25 years serving New York City.
