The Papillon — French for butterfly — is L'Écurie Paris's most feminine titanium frame. A butterfly silhouette in aerospace-grade titanium with 18K gold plating, handcrafted in Japan, available in rose coral, brown gradient, and ruby gradient lenses. For women who want titanium's lightness with an expressive, unmistakably feminine form.
The Design
The butterfly frame shape has a long history in women's eyewear — it first appeared in the 1950s and has returned in every decade since. The Papillon updates this form with L'Écurie Paris materials and production standards: titanium instead of alloy, genuine 18K gold plating instead of gold-tone coating, Japanese craftsmanship instead of mass production. The result is a butterfly frame that wears and looks like nothing else available in this format.
Available Styles
- Papillon Rosé Coral | 18K Gold: Delicate rose coral gradient lenses with 18K gold titanium frame. The most romantic Papillon.
- Papillon Brown Gradient | 18K Gold: Warm brown gradient lenses. The most versatile Papillon — works across seasons and occasions.
- Papillon Ruby Gradient | 18K Gold: Vibrant ruby red gradient lenses. The boldest Papillon expression.
Titanium Butterfly Frames: Why They Wear Differently
Most butterfly frames on the market are made from heavier alloys or acetate, which means the lifted outer corners of the butterfly shape create uneven weight distribution that can cause the frame to sit unevenly or slip. Titanium's lightness eliminates this problem — the Papillon sits perfectly still at under 18 grams, regardless of how active your day is.
