Independent Family
Lafont’s story begins with Louis Lafont in 1923 and the opening
of his optical boutique at 11 rue Vignon Paris. The Maison took a pivotal turn in the 1980’s with Laurence and Philippe Lafont introducing their iconic frame - GENIE.

Together they are committed to the future ensuring eco-responsibility
