Anne & Valentin

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, Anne and Valentin’s lively spirits have been an inspiration to many. The adventure truly begins in September, 1980, when Valentin the neo-hippie obtained his optician’s degree. The two lovebirds were eager to start an optical store with a different approach than what is available at the time, with a unique selection of original, unique frames and a radically different sales philosophy.
