About Traction Productions

Traction Productions glasses and sunglasses, new and in stock: round, cat-eye and rectangular frames in acetate and metal, made in France, in the Jura. Each is a new, unworn frame and a single piece, shipping free and insured within the US, for your own optician to fit lenses.

Traction Productions is a French eyewear brand. Its own site calls its frames 100% made in France, made in the Jura. It puts style ahead of a visible logo and groups its frames into three lines: Retro, TraXion X and Traction Femme.

The Traction Productions models in stock

Sizes read eye-bridge-temple, in millimetres. The Qhasar is a cat-eye in black and red patterned acetate, in Noir, 55-17-145. The Nyugat is a metal cat-eye in orange and black, in Oranoir, 53-22-145. The Xylo is a metal rectangle, 54-19-140, in Antharou (red and black) and Chocomeleze (green and brown). The Wafu is a metal round in black and green, in Meleze, 48-20-140. The Marcel is an acetate round in blue and amber, in Bleurock, 48-24-148. The Corbusier is an acetate round in Blue Tortoise, 35-27-135.

In sunglasses, the Angele is a vermilion acetate cat-eye with brown lenses, 51-19-145, and the Amazone is an oval in tortoise acetate with brown gradient lenses, in Blaze, 52-19-145.

The brand describes its look as vintage, with a taste for extravagance and the 1980s habit of mixing colours. Here that runs from the tiny Corbusier and Leonide rounds to the Qhasar and Nyugat cat-eyes.

Very small Traction Productions frames

Traction Productions makes some of the smallest rounds we carry, with eyes under 40mm and a long bridge that sets the lenses further apart. The frame size guide explains the three numbers, and the Traction Productions fit guide sorts every frame here by eye size.

Who makes Traction Productions glasses, and where are they made?

Traction Productions is a French brand, and its own site calls its frames 100% made in France, made in the Jura. It puts style ahead of a visible logo and groups its frames into three lines: Retro, TraXion X and Traction Femme. Every Traction Productions frame online is also on our Made in France page at /collections/made-in-france.

Are these vintage Traction Productions frames?

No. Every Traction Productions frame here is new and unworn, with demo lenses in the eyeglasses and the brand's own brown lenses in the sunglasses. Each is a single piece, so once it sells it is gone.

Do you have very small Traction Productions frames?

Yes. Traction Productions makes some of the smallest rounds we carry, with eyes under 40mm and a long bridge that sets the lenses further apart. The eye size is the first of the three numbers inside the left arm, and the frame size guide explains it. The Traction Productions fit guide at /collections/traction-productions-fit-guide sorts every frame here by eye size.

Can I get prescription lenses in Traction Productions frames?

Yes. Each frame ships as a frame, and your own optician fits the lenses. The acetate models hide a thicker lens edge; the metal ones, such as the Xylo and Wafu, keep the rim thin and show more of it. Our lens guide explains the choices. If you are near a shop, the Eye Rx practice can glaze and adjust.

Are Traction Productions frames for men or women?

The brand makes them for both. Here, the Xylo rectangles and the Wafu round in metal read plainer; the Angele, Qhasar and Nyugat cat-eyes and the patterned Riviera and Leonide read more decorative. Fit is by eye size, not gender.

What do the colour names mean?

Most are French, and some are run together. Bleurock (blue and amber), Rousnake (a burgundy snake pattern) and Chocomeleze (green and brown) are the brand's own compound names. Tornade is French for tornado, a swirl of reds on the Riviera. A few are in English, such as Blue Tortoise on the Corbusier.

About Traction Productions

Traction Productions makes its frames in France, in the Jura, the region with generations of French eyewear-making behind it. The brand says it prefers style to a visible logo, and it designs for women and men.

The range runs across three lines: Retro, which reworks classic shapes; TraXion X, with straight, masculine lines; and Traction Femme. The brand stays close to a vintage look and a taste for extravagance, and its recent frames borrow the colour mixing of the 1980s.
