INTRODUCTION

Nathalie Fordeyn’s designs are inspired by surrealism and minimalism. We create an imaginary world, one that is parallel to ours and not merely fantasy. To illustrate this, each of our collections tells a story, harmoniously combining fiction and reality. Novel stories are told through the materials, colours, shapes, and most importantly, through the collection’s atmosphere.

Our eyewear line focuses on bringing together innovative materials and technology to create unique sunglasses and optical designs with great attention to quality and comfort. Beyond the realms of design, we are aware of the negative impacts industry activities can have on the environment and issues surrounding human rights. As a young brand, we aim to positively make a difference in today’s fashion and optical industry by working exclusively with producers and suppliers who strongly demonstrate commitment to comply fully with international human rights standards and environmental protection aims.
