ELEGANCE IN TIME
In 1880, in the heart of
the Jura Mountains, the birthplace of French eyewear; Marius
Morel designed his very first eyewear collection.
He little
imagined that his expertise and innovative spirit would generate
classic designs, or that his creations would become benchmarks
in the history of eyewear.
Faithful to
that spirit, the "1880" Collection offers you today an
opportunity to rediscover the elegance of those very first
designs: authentic products subtly modernized through the
interplay of size and detail, and reinterpreted using today's
technologies.
About Marius Morel 1880
The elegance of time : In 1880, Marius Morel created his
very first collection of spectacles, in the heart of the Jura,
the cradle of the French eyewear industry.
He could not have
imagined that his know-how and innovative spirit would give rise
to great classics, nor that his creations would become legends
in the history of eyewear.
Faithful to this spirit, the “1880”
collection invites you to acquaint yourselves with the elegance
of the very first creations: authentic products subtly updated
with regard to volumes and details and reinterpreted thanks to
today’s technology.
Top-quality materials are used:
hand-crafted titanium and acetate, as well as an attention to
detail and finishes that present the consumer with excellent
quality products.
Comfort: spoon-shaped
endtips, saddle bridges coated with soft-touch epoxy lacquering,
deep “universal nose” acetate nose pads, etc.
Quality: friction-controlled screws and hand polished
galvanised shiny coatings with a buffer tool to provide a
faultless finish on a titanium base.
Sophistication: metal inserts embedded in the acetate,
endtips cut into the form of the brand logo, beaded grooves,
ridged endtip interiors including a red-lacquered ridge, etc.
The “1880” models redefine the concept of modern retro
chic. With three titanium metal ranges, an acetate range and a
combination range, the 1880 collection boasts 17 styles, of
which 15 can be fitted with progressive lenses and 2 with
half-moons. |
