Where are your products made?

At Lunetterie Générale, we prioritize quality, which is why our frames are meticulously handmade in Japan by the finest eyewear artisans. Our workshops are situated in Sabae, Fukui Prefecture, a region renowned for over a century for producing the most innovative eyewear products.

The final stages of quality control, lens cutting, and mounting take place at our warehouse in Montréal, Canada.

What materials are used to make LG frames?

All our acetate frames are meticulously crafted using Japanese-made cellulose acetate sourced from well-known Takiron & Daicel factories. The hardware and custom metal pieces are fashioned with precision from premium titanium. In the case of our metal frames, we use Japanese beta-titanium, soldering each component together with exceptional care to ensure durability.

For our sunglasses frames, we employ sun lenses made with high-grade CR-39 material—a lightweight and scratch-resistant plastic. Featuring hard coating and backside violet-color anti-reflective treatment, our sun lenses not only provide excellent eye protection but also guarantee 100% UV protection.
