Each time you put on your frame, you present yourself to the world just as you are” – Anne & Valentin.

Design & Craftsmanship
Anne & Valentin’s design process is akin to alchemy; mixing geometric cuts, brilliant colors and materials. Their collections reflect the paradox of spontaneity combined with meticulous design. The quality of the manufacturing work is the result of a long, precise and detailed process.
The concept is to reduce the design to its simplest form and preserve its strength by getting rid of what’s useless and superfluous. They create relevant shapes that maintain the initial concept’s aesthetic and ensure elaborate finishing touches while always aiming for the greatest possible comfort.
History
Anne & Valentin’s sole existence is due to … Anne & 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 it is still headquartered, the core of the team continues to enliven the spirit that has been an inspiration to many.
