Summer! This season that we love so much. And we love it even more this year because we opened our first Seconde Vue boutique. This new adventure began on June 15. As in the showroom, you will find exceptional vintage glasses at 15 rue Commines, in the heart of the Marais.
A shop with vintage inspirations; carpet, glass tiles, velvet curtains... a decor that will inspire you in the choice of your vintage frame. Opening this shop is the opportunity to offer you a more efficient, more durable, more stylish and above all a newer look at vintage and second-hand!
The Seconde Vue store has a wide selection of vintage frames for prescription or sunglasses. Our vintage glasses are carefully selected and refurbished in the workshop by our expert and versatile opticians.
We don't imagine it and yet second hand and vintage can be of much better quality and the idea for us is that these vintage frames can give a second sight and can last through the years and generations. Believe us, you will not be disappointed by second hand and vintage.
Second sight is everything you never imagined about vintage glasses. Our shop will take you on a journey through time. The time has finally come to present our collection to you.
Second sight: vintage glasses survive the passing of time
Our vintage glasses span the decades. From the 60s to the 2000s, there is something for everyone! But let's give a little more details about our concept!
We collect these vintage glasses and give them a new lease of life with the help of our expert opticians in the workshop! On each frame, we change the lenses, we polish the frame, in order to restore its shine.
To give even more character to our superb vintage glasses we use a lot of upcycling! We give a new look by changing the lenses and playing with the different color ranges.
We work with Essilor, the world's number 1 glassmaker, which has a wide range of colored lenses to choose from. Smoked, gradient, full-color lenses...
Upcycling glasses with colored lenses gives you a new and stylish look.
Seconde Vue is truly a journey through time. Our glasses cross the years and fashions. Today, the trend is vintage and that's good!
Our selection of glasses begins with the charm and class of the 60s style and ends in the 2000s. There are therefore many opportunities to find the pair that will make your heart beat. The idea is to offer a more sustainable look, through a frame with an unrivaled and unique style and whose materials are more efficient.
As stated above, whether you are a fan of the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, or 2000s, you will certainly find what you are looking for. Nostalgic for very colorful oversized frames? Head to our 60s selection.
Are you a fan of butterfly shapes? Take a look at our 70s selection.
Finally, do you prefer thinner, more sober frames in metal or titanium? The 80s-90s style is made for you.
For more structured and sporty frames, take a look at our selection from the 2000s.
Second View: Designer Vintage
At Seconde Vue, find your favorite stylists and designers.
When we look for our vintage frames we also try to highlight
big houses like Chanel. You will also find vintage emblems like Emmanuelle Khanh or Pierre Cardin glasses. There are also more recent ones, with a selection of Courrèges glasses from the 2000s. Other creations like Colani glasses, which are super design, with very original branches and oversized pilot shapes, there is nothing more trendy. These are extremely worked and very light frames, they are very suitable to be worn with eyesight.
Thierry Mugler's creations also form an integral part of our selections from the 80s and 90s, creations that reflect a unique and specific style. Magnificent vintage glasses.
We also highlight those who deserved it so much like Patrick Kelly, who left us a work that is as crazy and colorful as it is complete and inimitable.
Find in our selection the brands you love: Prada, Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent….
We also have a selection of Cartier glasses, these vintage frames are more like jewelry than fashion accessories. They are evidence of very meticulous and detailed work. These are exceptional frames! Most of them come with their original lenses and box and come with a certificate of authentication.
Thierry Mugler is certainly the designer whose glasses we have the most in the store.
These vintage glasses are signed with the detail of the claw, the star and the shape of the glasses can be as conventional as crazy. Thierry Mugler is all the paradoxes combined and we love it!
These are frames that are mostly similar to the style of the 80s-90s, in metal or acetate, sober or colorful. With our Thierry Mugler selection alone, there is something for everyone. Some frames have been upcycled with sun lenses to offer a style with more character.
So, Seconde Vue is giving new life to all these pairs of retro or vintage glasses. Treat yourself to a more sustainable, clearer, more environmentally friendly view. Treat yourself to a unique, original pair of vintage glasses with its own story. Treat yourself to the accessory that will characterize your style, that will match your personality, that will mark your singularity.
