Maison Lafont renews its collaboration with Maison Sekimoto.
This year, the two Maisons have once again united their expertise to introduce an exceptional new frame, "Hanabi"—a name that evokes the beauty and brilliance of "fireworks" in Japanese.
The Hanabi frame continues the story of Haute Couture eyewear that began with "Ouvrage" in 2023, exemplifying the seamless fusion of Lafont’s eyewear expertise with the finesse of Haute Broderie.
This acetate sunglass frame is lavishly embroidered with delicate pearls and sequins, the result of a meticulous, handcrafted process. Each frame is brought to life through the artistry of Satoshi Sekimoto, a Meilleur Ouvrier de France in Haute Broderie, whose dedication ensures that every detail embodies the highest level of craftsmanship
