Acetate Sunglasses
L'Écurie Paris acetate sunglasses are made for those who wear their taste boldly. Every pair of these Japanese acetate sunglasses for men and women is cut from Takiron Japanese acetate, a material prized for its lower moisture content, its dimensional stability, and the depth of its colors, then assembled by Sabae craftsmen in Japan using techniques refined over decades.
L'Écurie Paris
L'Écurie Paris creates luxury designer eyewear: French design, handmade in Japan. Each pair of sunglasses and optical frames is crafted in gold-plated titanium or acetate by artisans in Sabae, with the attention to detail and durability that true luxury requires. No excess and no passing trends, only timeless pieces made to be worn for years.

What Makes Premium Acetate Different
Not all acetate is equal. The fast-fashion eyewear industry uses injected plastic and calls it acetate. True premium acetate, like the Takiron material we use, is cut from thick sheets or rods. The colors run through the full thickness of the material. They do not fade, chip, or peel because they are the material itself, not a coating applied to its surface. A Takiron acetate frame develops a subtle patina over years of wear that injected plastic never will.

Art-Deco Temple Engravings
Every acetate frame in this collection features hand-engraved temples inspired by art-deco architecture and interior design. The engravings are cut into the acetate itself, not printed or applied, and finish at gold-tipped metal end pieces. These details are why our acetate frames look different from any other brand's offering at any price point.
