Born in France from the meeting between optician Roger Pouilloux and ski champion Jean Vuarnet, the Vuarnet brand takes its name after Jean Vuarnet's Olympic victory at Squaw Valley in 1960. Vintage Vuarnet glasses are particularly renowned for their mineral lenses, their connection to the mountains, and their French sporty aesthetic.
