Face a Face glasses & sunglasses in Harborne, Birmingham

Some glasses just correct your vision. Face à Face does that and gives you something to enjoy wearing every single day. Born in Paris in 1995, Face à Face is the French house that treats a pair of frames as a small work of wearable art, full of bold shape, clever colour and a confidence that feels effortless rather than loud.

The brand even takes its name from that first moment in front of the mirror, when a frame and a face meet and something simply clicks. Founder Pascal Jaulent came to eyewear from architecture, and it shows. Volumes, textures and colour are balanced with real intent, so your frames look modern and original without ever overpowering your features. Each pair is handmade in France with a level of care you rarely find on the high street.

Colour is where Face à Face truly stands apart. You will find combinations here that you simply will not see anywhere else, which makes it far easier to choose a frame that flatters your skin tone, suits your personality and earns you a few compliments along the way.
