About Traction Productions
Fifteen Traction Productions frames are online. Traction is the brand of Maison de Lunetterie Victor Gros, a family company founded in 1872 that made hair ornaments before turning to eyewear in 1930; five generations of the Gros family have run it. Thierry Gros launched Traction Productions in 1989, mixing California modernity with French refinement, and the frames are made in France, in the Jura, a region with generations of eyewear-making behind it.
Nine of the 15 are acetate, four are metal and two combine the two. The colour names are French and compressed: Vermillon, Noir, Bleurock, Rousnake, Tornade, Oranoir, Meleze, Chocomeleze, Ecaille / Ivoire, which is tortoise and ivory. The one English name is Blue Tortoise, on the Corbusier round.
The smallest frames in the store
That Corbusier is 35mm across the eye, the narrowest frame we hold, and the two Leonide rounds at 38mm are next. Beyond those three, eye sizes run from 47mm to 55mm, for a range of 35mm to 55mm with a median of 50mm: eight frames sit between 47mm and 52mm, and four are 53mm or more, including the Xylo metal rectangles at 54mm and the Qhasar cat-eye in Noir at 55mm. Round leads with seven frames, then cat-eye with five, rectangular with two and one oval.
Most of the 15 are one of a kind, the three small rounds especially, so if one fits, it is worth deciding quickly. Each ships as a frame, free and insured within the US with a signature on delivery, for your own optician to glaze.
Where are Traction Productions glasses made?
In France, in the Jura, the region that has been the centre of French frame-making for generations. The brand belongs to Maison de Lunetterie Victor Gros, a family company founded in 1872 that has been making eyewear since 1930 and is now in its fifth generation. All 15 Traction Productions frames online are on our Made in France page.
Who makes Traction Productions?
The Gros family. Victor Gros founded the company in 1872 to make hair ornaments, it turned to eyewear in 1930, and Thierry Gros launched the Traction Productions brand in 1989 with the idea of mixing California modernity and French refinement. Five generations have run the company, which still makes the frames in the Jura.
Do you have very small Traction Productions frames?
Yes, the smallest in the store. The Corbusier round in Blue Tortoise is 35mm across the eye, and the two Leonide rounds are 38mm; nothing else we hold is under 39mm. The eye size is the first of the three numbers inside the left arm, and the size guide at /collections/frame-size-guide explains it. Each is one of a kind, so once sold it is gone.
Can I get prescription lenses in Traction Productions frames?
Yes. Each frame ships as a frame, and your own optician fits the lenses. The nine acetate models are cut from a solid plate and hide a thicker lens edge; the four metal ones, such as the Xylo and Wafu, keep the rim thin and show more of it. Our lens guide at /collections/lens-guide explains the choices. If you are near a shop, the Eye Rx practice can glaze and adjust.
