Fred, the jewellery spirit in service of the gaze

Born in Paris in 1936, the Fred house draws its inspiration from the light of the Mediterranean and the marine world. Founded by Fred Samuel, this jewellery house quickly distinguished itself through its creative boldness and its attachment to solar beauty. With an identity forged between refinement and energy, Fred has imbued its collections with a unique signature. Fred sunglasses are part of this heritage, reinterpreting the codes of fine jewellery through luxurious sun frames.

Why choose Fred sunglasses?

High-end design inspired by the world of fine jewellery

Fred sunglasses captivate with an aesthetic that is at once contemporary and inspired by the marine symbols dear to the Fred brand. Elements such as twisted cables, winch motifs and sculpted hinges recall the iconic creations of Fred's fine jewellery. The frames feature graphic lines, balanced volumes and extremely refined finishes. Each pair evokes a piece of jewellery in its own right, with delicate details that make all the difference. Whether you opt for a model with marine cable-style twisted temples or a frame with a chiselled bridge like a work of art, you will be wearing a luxury object crafted with attention to every aspect. The materials used reinforce this sense of exception: gold-lacquered or palladium metal, Italian acetate in understated or bold shades such as deep black or deep blue, all for rimmed or rimless frames with flawless finishes. The Fred style is a promise of assured elegance and distinction.

Manufacturing quality that lives up to excellence

Choosing Fred sunglasses means opting for a level of quality worthy of the greatest fashion houses. Made in Europe or Italy, the frames benefit from meticulous assembly and premium materials. The acetate used is cut from solid blocks to guarantee optimal density and resistance, while the metal is carefully treated to ensure brilliance, strength and lightness. Comfortable to wear all day long, Fred glasses offer a perfect fit without compromising on elegance. The sun lenses, too, meet the most exacting standards. Equipped with anti-reflective coatings and full UV protection, they provide optimal filtering against UVA and UVB rays. Depending on the model, you benefit from category 2 or 3 protection, ideal for all light conditions, from everyday urban life to wide-open sunny spaces. This technical mastery makes Fred glasses far more than a fashion accessory: a truly high-end piece of equipment for your eyes.

A unique jewellery signature, reflecting the Fred heritage

Fred sunglasses are not merely inspired by fine jewellery: they embody its very essence. Each frame evokes a direct link with the house's iconic collections, such as the FG40011U, recognisable by its braided marine cable and its emblematic clasp, or the FG40048U line, bearer of symbols and soft lines. Other models adopt the codes of the Godron collection, with its sculpted details and volumes full of elegance. These references to the world of fine jewellery are never gratuitous: they reflect a desire to make the gaze a territory of jewellery creation in its own right. Choosing a pair of Fred glasses means affirming a taste for signature pieces, conceived as objects of desire and refinement.

Manille & Cable: the marine DNA elevated

True icons of the Fred house, the models from the Manille & Cable collection draw their inspiration directly from the famous Force 10 bracelet, whose marine cables and metallic finishes have won over luxury enthusiasts the world over. These glasses are available in aviator, rectangular and round shapes to suit all face shapes and style preferences. The FG40011U model perfectly illustrates this spirit with its rimmed frame in gold or palladium metal, enhanced with black or blue acetate, for a result that is both sophisticated and modern. The presence of the cable, integrated in relief or as a discreet motif, lends a distinctive character to the temples, while the tinted or gradient lenses add a chic and protective dimension to the whole. With Manille & Cable, Fred reinvents its marine heritage by propelling it into the world of high-end eyewear.

Double Cable: finesse and graphic elegance

The Double Cable collection features frames with a clean graphic design, playing on the lightness of lines and the fineness of materials. The twisted temples, the signature of this collection, evoke two intertwined cables for a refined and delicate aesthetic. The frames in gold-lacquered or palladium metal are extremely fine, ensuring optimal comfort and an elegant silhouette. The gradient lenses, ranging from brown to smoky grey, enhance the gaze while effectively protecting against the sun's rays. Ideal for those seeking an airy frame without compromising on style, Double Cable embodies the perfect meeting of technical precision and refinement.

Godron: retro-chic style in its full glory

Inspired by the sculpted lines of the eponymous jewellery collection, the Godron line captivates with its engraved details and retro-chic aesthetic. Each frame reveals exceptional material craftsmanship, with finely chiselled temples, subtle light effects and precious finishes. This collection stands out for its revisited vintage spirit, perfect for enhancing a business outfit, a summer dress or an urban look. The Godron models are available in rimmed or rimless versions, depending on the level of sophistication desired, always with high UV-protection lenses to combine visual comfort and classic elegance.

High-protection sun lenses

Beyond their sophisticated design, Fred sunglasses are fitted with high-performance sun lenses designed to meet the needs of all light conditions. Available in tinted or gradient shades, they feature anti-reflective coatings to enhance visual comfort in bright light. Their UV filtration is category 2 or 3 depending on the model, guaranteeing optimal protection against UVA and UVB rays. Whether you are in the city, by the sea, in the mountains or driving, your eyes are shielded from the harmful effects of the sun, while benefiting from impeccable style. Thanks to integrated optical technology, these lenses also offer excellent contrast perception, ideal for driving or outdoor activities. With Fred glasses, beauty never sacrifices performance.

What materials are used in Fred sunglasses?

Fred sunglasses are crafted from exceptional materials to combine aesthetics with durability. The frames are often made from high-end acetate, a material renowned for its robustness and lightness, but also from precious metals such as gold or silver, and sometimes titanium to provide optimal comfort. The lenses benefit from specific treatments guaranteeing excellent UV protection, with polarising options available to reduce glare and improve visual clarity. The finishes are particularly refined: the Fred house pays meticulous attention to detail, incorporating elements such as mother-of-pearl, fine engravings or even touches of precious stones, thus underlining the jewellery-inspired aspect of the frames.

How should Fred sunglasses be cared for?

Caring for Fred sunglasses is essential to preserve their beauty and optimal performance. It is recommended to clean the lenses regularly using a soft microfibre cloth and a product specially designed for glasses, in order to avoid scratches and smears. Abrasive wipes or products containing alcohol or ammonia must be strictly avoided, as they could damage the lens coatings. When not wearing your glasses, it is advisable to store them in their original hard case to protect them from knocks and dust. Furthermore, if the frame requires adjustment, it is best to consult an authorised Fred optician, who will be able to make the necessary adjustments without compromising the integrity of the model. If needed, the brand's after-sales service also offers specific repairs to ensure the longevity of your glasses.

Are Fred sunglasses suitable for all face shapes?

Fred offers a wide range of frames to suit all face shapes. The brand has designed its collections to flatter round, oval, square and triangular faces alike. For example, aviator and butterfly shapes suit square or oval faces perfectly, providing a harmonious balance. Round or oval shapes, meanwhile, soften angular features, while rectangular frames offer a flattering contrast for round faces. To choose the ideal pair, it is often recommended to consult a specialist optician, who can advise you based on the shape of your face, your tastes and your lifestyle.

Is it possible to customise Fred sunglasses?

Fred occasionally offers customisation options allowing clients to choose certain aspects of their glasses, such as lens colour, temple finishes, or even discreet engravings to make each pair unique. For more specific requests, it is recommended to contact a Fred boutique or the official customer service directly. These services make it possible to create an accessory that perfectly matches your expectations, while retaining the quality and prestige associated with the brand.

How do I know if a pair of Fred sunglasses is compatible with my prescription?

Several Fred sunglasses frames are compatible with prescription lenses. If you wear prescription glasses, it is possible to have your correction fitted into certain sun frames. To do so, it is advisable to consult an authorised Fred optician who can guide you on the models suited to your prescription and the type of lenses (progressive, single vision, anti-reflective, etc.). This solution allows you to enjoy both optimal sun protection and effective vision correction, without compromising the elegance and style of Fred glasses.
