Experience refined French elegance with François Pinton Paris eyewear at Konstantin. Since the early twentieth century, the brand has been associated with timeless sophistication and handcrafted excellence. Worn by iconic figures such as Jackie Kennedy and Grace Kelly, François Pinton Paris frames reflect authentic Parisian craftsmanship, premium materials, and a heritage rooted in classic Riviera-inspired style.
Jackie Kennedy had a pair made for her. Aristotle Onassis, Robert Redford, Francis Ford Coppola, Nicole Kidman — the client list reads less like a marketing page and more like a roll call of the 20th century’s most iconic faces.
The brand has passed through three generations of the Pinton family, with Robert’s son Dominique and his grandchildren carrying the house forward — updating collections while preserving the standards and spirit that defined it from the beginning.
This is French luxury eyewear in its most authentic form: not a licensed name on a mass-produced frame, but a living Parisian house with a story behind every silhouette.
As an authorized Francois Pinton Paris dealer, at Konstantin Vision, we carry François Pinton Paris eyeglasses at our NYC showroom — and they speak immediately to clients who appreciate heritage above all else.
These are frames with history in their DNA. The JACKY model was created as a bespoke design for Jackie Kennedy Onassis in the 1960s and remains in the collection today. The ONA O was designed for Aristotle Onassis and has become one of the most mythic models in French eyewear history. The ACHARD — thick round frames with straight temples — became a symbol of the intellectual movement of its era.
When you wear François Pinton Paris, you’re wearing something that has been tested not just by quality control, but by decades of real life on exceptional faces.
Our licensed opticians will guide you through the full collection, helping you find the frame that fits your face and connects you to a tradition of Parisian craftsmanship that very few brands in the world can match.
At Konstantin, François Pinton Paris eyewear represents the highest level of traditional French craftsmanship. Each frame is handmade in France using carefully selected materials, including premium acetate and refined metals. These frames reflect the dedication of artisans who continue to uphold long-established techniques while integrating modern design elements. Choosing François Pinton Paris means selecting eyewear shaped by heritage, precision, and attention to detail that remains central to the brand’s identity.
François Pinton Paris eyewear has long been associated with influential figures known for their refined style. Members of the Onassis family, including Jackie Kennedy-Onassis, famously wore François Pinton frames, recognizing their timeless elegance. Grace Kelly also commissioned multiple bespoke frames crafted from precious materials for her wedding to the Prince of Monaco in 1956, further reinforcing the brand’s reputation for exceptional craftsmanship. In more recent years, personalities such as Nicole Kidman, Sharon Stone, Gregory Peck, Francis Ford Coppola, and King Charles III have continued this tradition, demonstrating the enduring appeal of François Pinton eyewear among those who appreciate classic sophistication.
Every François Pinton Paris frame is handmade in France — in the Jura region, the historic heartland of French eyewear artisanship.
The production process reflects the same couture sensibility that has defined the house since 1953. Angled endpieces are shaped by hand. Raw materials are selected for quality above all else. The polishing techniques are meticulous, unhurried, and drawn from decades of accumulated craft knowledge passed between artisans.
The Lutetia collection embodies this heritage perfectly — oversized forms and worked volumes inspired directly by the Art Deco architecture of the Hôtel Lutetia in Paris, one of the city’s most storied landmarks. These are not frames designed by committee to appeal to the broadest possible market. They are frames conceived with the same clarity and conviction that has always driven the house: timeless style, exceptional materials, and a finish that sets the standard for what French eyewear can be.
François Pinton Paris holds its Origine France Garantie certification — the official guarantee that design and production are 100% French.
Experiencing François Pinton Paris in person is different from seeing it in a photograph.
The weight is right. The acetate has a depth of color that only comes from the finest raw materials and a polishing process that takes no shortcuts. The hinges move with the kind of smooth, precise resistance that only comes from proper engineering. And the silhouettes — rooted in 70 years of Parisian design history — feel both completely of their moment and entirely timeless.
