About FLECHE

Sometimes, you just need to shake things up a bit. Or maybe a lot. Since 1945, Balmain has been surprising critics with bold and unexpected takes on luxury and design—and Olivier Rousteing is determined to continue building upon that distinctive legacy. “Part of designing for the 21st-Century Balmain is ensuring that my collections reflect how my generation actually wants to dress today,” explains Olivier Rousteing. “That’s why my runways are constantly melding universes together in unexpected ways—with the house’s most rebellious biker jackets paired with ethereal couture gowns, and street- and sport-influences rejiggered to adopt a unmistakable Parisian luxury slant.” The new FLÈCHE design—clearly the star of Balmain Eyewear’s latest collection—builds directly upon the house’s singular history of consistently disrupting the status quo, with Rousteing working closely with the Akoni team to perfect an avant-garde, luxury-yet-sporty, sculptured wrap silhouette, whose striking iridescent sheen is deftly finished off by an equally attention-grabbing, enamel- or matte-coated Japanese titanium frame. Straight temples and nose pads are crafted in rubber, for a comfortable snug fit, perfect for sports—or just sporty ensembles. FLÈCHE’s color choices reflect Rousteing’s favorite runway tones.

Understanding frame size

Understanding frame measurements is essential for achieving a precise fit tailored to your preferences. Thanks to a standardized system, finding the right size becomes straightforward.

When considering frame measurements, it's important to focus on three key dimensions: lens width, bridge size, and temple length, all measured in millimeters. These measurements ensure a comfortable and proportional fit that complements your unique facial features and style.

49 -

22 -

145 mm

EYE

40 - 62 MM

This eye measurement is the horizontal width of a single lens. Typically ranging from 40 to 62mm, with the average size of 49 to 51mm. For sunglasses, consider increasing your average by a minimum of two millimeters to account for the larger frames.

BRIDGE

14 - 25 MM

The bridge measurement refers to the gap between the two lenses, with sizes ranging from 14 to 24mm and the typical size falling between 18 and 21mm. For those with a narrower bridge, choosing a frame under 20mm is advisable. Frames equipped with nose pads offer adjustability, ensuring a a better and more comfortable fit.

Temple

120 - 150 MM

Temple length refers to the length of the arms that stretch towards the ears to hold the frame in place. Consider specific temple lengths if your ear placement significantly deviates from the average.The range is between 120 to 150mm, with the average adult size being between 145 and 148mm.
