SO BASIC
SO PURIST

Our definition of a “basic” is an essential piece, one that was worn 50 years ago, is worn today, and will still be worn 50 years from now. It is this conviction that guided us: to devote all our standards of excellence to elevating one of the most iconic shapes in eyewear: the Pantos.


Combined with a French manufacturing, a fair prices philosophy and against the current of an economy in total over-creation, the first purist and mono-product concept in the Eyewear industry was born in summer 2015.

SO BASIC
SO PURIST

Our definition of basic is a fundamental piece that could be worn 50 years ago, today and in 50 years. This is the reason why we focused all our efforts to idealize one of the most iconic shapes: The Pantos.
Combined with a French manufacturing, a fair prices philosophy and a choice of colors never offered for a single frame and against the current of an economy in total over-creation, the first purist and mono-product concept in the Eyewear industry was born in summer 2015.

MASSIVE OVER-PRODUCTION

is certainly a key concern of the world we live in. Since its inception in 2015, Pantos Paris has embedded waste management and sustainable development in its core values by proposing a long lasting, sustainable, and timeless collection. Thanks to the strong partnership we have put in place with our French manufacturer, and thanks to a thoroughly controlled supply chain, Pantos Paris has proudly delivered the following over the past 10 years : over 60 000 frames produced and ZERO UNSOLD units.

OYONNAX

in the heart of the mountains located 500 kilometers from Paris, is the cradle of French Eyewear and the starting point of our adventure. All our production is entrusted to one of the most experienced manufacturers, a family business so out of touch with the mass market. Their names are Béatrice, Jean-Luc, Nicole, Henry…and are indispensable to the success of our development. Every craftsman works according to the rules of the art of shaping “handmade”, the machining is notably produced on pantograph called “Traditional machining”. Thanks to them, we protect our know-how and continue to leave a legacy.

ONE PANTOS

requires more than 40 steps of manufacturing for his production. Authentic hinge rivets 5 barrels, acetate 8mm, laser engraving, nose pads machined into the solid material, CR39 anti-reflection are some elements to get a quality glasses.

BIO ACETATE

is integrated in our collection since 2016 and for all our new colors since 2020. Our Italian supplier Mazzucchelli 1849 has anticipated the evolution of the market by developing in its laboratories a formula that combines the physical mechanical characteristics of the classical formulation with a characteristic of strong eco-sustainability: Traditional plasticizer has been replaced by a plasticizing solution of vegetable origin, thus making M49 a bioplastic with a remarkable bio-based content.
