About Lafont:
A family-owned business, Lafont traces its origins nearly 90 years to 1923 when patriarch Louis Lafont opened an optical shop in Paris. Family members Phillipe and Laurence Lafont continued the tradition, creating the world-renowned brand in 1972. Lafont glasses soon became synonymous with Parisian style, flair and luxury. Lafont’s savoir faire and Parisian panache make it a popular choice for customers who demand quality and a fashion-forward look that is well-balanced with elegance and sophistication.
