Collection: Gerard Levet

Gérard Levet is part of the tradition of independent French eyewear designers. His glasses are distinguished by their bold shapes, intricate acetates, and bold volumes, often combined with an original aesthetic. The brand's spirit blends creativity and craftsmanship, offering frames that oscillate between avant-garde design and timeless elegance.

A French designer active in the 1980s and 1990s, Gérard Levet developed eyewear collections at a time when the majority of eyewear production was concentrated in the Jura region. Distributed through specialized channels, his frames stand out for their unique design, influenced by fashion trends while maintaining artisanal manufacturing. Although more confidential than the major brands, the brand is part of the French creative dynamism of this period.

- Oversized frames in thick acetate, often in tortoiseshell or translucent tones.

- Geometric shapes: square, rectangular or butterfly.

- Sculpted branches: decorative details, reliefs or metal inlays.

- Color games: two-tone shades, gradients or transparencies.

Some Gérard Levet collections from the 90s were produced in limited series for partner opticians, reinforcing their current rarity on the vintage market.

Vintage Gérard Levet eyewear attracts enthusiasts for its original design, artisanal French manufacturing, and rarity on the current market. It embodies the creative era of independent eyewear makers, when each frame stood out for its unique character.
