Karoline Bothorel-Bolzinger and Anne Masanet of Very French Gangsters strive to create glasses that boost self-confidence, and set the wearer apart from the crowd in the greatest way imaginable. Very French Gangsters eyewear channels the inner youth we all enjoy, and inspires us to revisit our younger years. Masanet met Bothorel-Bolzinger when overseeing a children’s apparel division at a purchasing station. The pair soon realized they were eyewear enthusiasts, and decided to use their combined experience to design a luxury eyewear brand specifically geared toward children.
Masanet and Bothorel-Bolzinger’s passion was blazed by their own families as their children’s everyday lives influenced most of their ideas. While the opportunities in children’s eyewear are seemingly endless, there are also limitations. Masanet and Bothorel-Bolzinger accounted for these expectations to set the foundation for the Very French Gangsters line. During the design process, special attention is given to the nose pad, edges, lens thickness, and craftsmanship to not only allow for maximum comfort, but also convenience and elegance.
Despite being a relatively new label, Very French Gangsters has quickly attained global popularity, with items even being sold in Le Bon Marché, the famous Parisian department store. The brand recently released its third collection, “By The Way,” which includes themes like “Very Bombe” and “Very Swag.”
Very French Gangsters’ durable and lightweight acetate frameworks come with flexible hinges and tips. Children also have access to eyewear that is equipped with blue light-blocking lenses and 100 percent protection from UV rays.
Children’s eyewear should be unique and not a replica of adult eyewear. The founders of Very French Gangsters intended to bring novelty and imagination to the ‘By the Way’ series, and is an extension of the preceding collections.
Very French Gangsters glasses strive to shake things up for kids by offering designs that are extremely outstanding and somewhat “rock n’ roll”. Children can imitate grownups with elegant designs that are geometrical, retro, and flamboyant. Very French Gangsters glasses are available in a variety of hues to match any attire, from earthy and pastel to neon and bright.
Very French Gangsters have been an inevitable presence in the high-end children’s eyeglasses marketplace since the company’s inception. This line presents wearers with innovative products every season that are proven in terms of design and unsurpassed in craft. Very French Gangsters advocate for a classy label and a line fully developed in France, with no compromises in terms of comfort or elegance.
