J.F. Rey Eyeglasses

Twenty-one J.F. Rey frames are online. The brand was founded in Marseille in 1995 by Jean-François Rey and Joëlle Rey, and remains an independent eyewear brand for optical frames and sunglasses, run by its founders with Joëlle as artistic director. The collections are known for graphic shapes and strong colour, designed by the founders themselves rather than by a large group.

Every one of the 21 is a two-tone. The names read like a paint chart: Green / Purple, Purple Tortoise / Green, Tortoise / Azure Blue, Tortoise / Fuchsia, Pink / Leopard, Black Pixel / Red, Green Textile / Orange, Gradient Blue / Green. Ten frames are acetate, cut from a solid plate so both colours run through; six are metal, with the colour as a finish; and five combine the two, which is how the brand gets a textile or a pixel pattern next to a plain metal rim.

Shapes and sizes

Round leads with seven frames, then geometric with five, square and cat-eye with four each, and one oval. Eye sizes run from 45mm to 54mm with a median of 51mm: three are 46mm or under, 13 sit between 47mm and 52mm, and five are 53mm or more. Named models like Virginia, Charlotte and Madison sit beside numbered ones like JF3007 and JF2995, and several appear here in two colourways.

We do not have a verified statement of where J.F. Rey frames are made, so the brand is on none of our origin pages. Most frames are one of a kind. Each ships as a frame, free and insured within the US with a signature on delivery, for your own optician to glaze.
