Balmain Paris is deeply rooted in the world of couture. On the runway, this French fashion house makes a splash with intricate designs and its signature gold ornamentation. They’ve grown from designing clothes to creating an iconic eyewear line with the Akoni Group. This collaboration was born out of Balmain’s talent for creating iconic styles and the Akoni Group’s ability to craft beautiful eyewear using the highest quality materials.

We are committed to curating frame collections that are unique and elevate your eyewear, and we are happy to announce that we’ve added Balmain prescription eyewear and sunglasses to the Oxford Eyes collection! Read on to check out some of our favorite frames from Balmain Paris.

 

The (Not So) Little Black Sunglasses

The B-IV sunglasses from Balmain are high-end fashion at its finest. Classically black with an oversized square frame, these sunglasses will go with any outfit and any style. If you look closely, Balmain’s signature gold accents pop on either side of the lenses, adding a little flair to the solid black frame. With 100% UV protection and timeless style, you’ll be bringing these sunglasses wherever you go!

 

 

The Bolder the Better

Take it from us, a bold prescription frame is the perfect addition to your eyewear wardrobe. This stunning B-III green frame exudes power and confidence. Even though they are striking in color and design, these frames will also brighten your features. Your eyes are sure to pop behind these lenses!

 

 

That Midas Touch

A little bit of gold never hurt anyone. Another one of Balmain’s signature designs is the use of shield accents on their eyewear. Instead of bringing attention to the front of the frames, these Brigade-I’s sparkle and shine from the sides. Ingenuity in design is what sets Balmain apart from other eyewear collections and is evident with these gorgeous mixed metal glasses.

 

 

Sizzling Style

We can guarantee you haven’t seen shades like this before. Think of the Brigade-III sunglasses as a chic modern take on a classic 90s style. With smaller lenses and a gorgeous shade of brown, they’re reminiscent of sunglasses worn by our favorite leading ladies of the 90s. The shield accents look like cracked black marble with gold veins running through it for a very in vogue style!  Looking for versatility in your wardrobe? Simply remove the frame’s shield to give your sunglasses a completely different look.
