The name Vuarnet has been synonymous with sunglasses for decades. Developed by Joseph Hatchiguian and Roger Pouillox in 1957, the skilynx lenses were perfect for skiing with the ability to see the sun without being dazzled and yet increase luminosity in darker conditions. Worn by Jean Vuarnet, winner of the gold medal in downhill at the 1960 Winter Olympic games in Squaw Valley, Hatchuguian and Pouilloux partnered with the French champion to market the glasses under his name, and a brand was born.
Europtics is pleased to bring back to Denver the Vuarnet sunglass line. Vuarnet sunglasses are a part of the sports universe with their legendary high-end mineral lenses that provide exceptional optical quality with 100% UV protection. Whether you need a pair of great sunglasses for skiing, boating, hiking, driving, or just enjoying the Colorado sunshine, we encourage you to come into Europtics today and try a pair of Vuarnet’s for yourself.
We are often asked about eyewear for kids.

Julbo manufacturers quality children s and adult sunglasses in exciting shapes and colors without sacrificing optical quality. Europtics is pleased to now carry Julbo eyewear for kids of all ages, from newborns on up. One of the great things about the Julbo sunglasses for babies is there is no up or down.

Yet, these lightweight frames demonstrate a beauty of design elegance frames three times their weight cannot begin to emulate.

Come in to a Europtics store today and see the OVVO line of eyeglasses and sunglasses for yourself.
Since Europtics was started, almost 30 years ago, Matsuda has been one of our favorite brand names in eyewear. Over the years they were consistent with their cutting edge designs and aesthetic beauty. Created by Japanese fashion designer Mitsuhiro Matsuda, we had customers coming in week after week asking for these well made unique designs. Of course their popularity only increased as they were featured in such movies as Terminator 2 or in the lyrics of Shawn “Puff Daddy” Combs rap songs in the late 90′s.
Through a series of unfortunate events (Lemony Snicket was not involved) Matsuda was left without a US distributor for many years.
We are very happy to announce that Matsuda is now back in the US after a few years absence and that Europtics once again is carrying the Matsuda line. Stop into one of our stores today and see the magic of Matsuda once again.
We had a wonderful time at out L.A. Eyeworks Trunk Show last weekend. Dozens of you showed up to see the entire line of avante garde designs in eyeglasses and sunglasses. Thanks to everyone who came.

One of our favorite lines for all our stores is Face à Face from Paris. Under Co-Founder, President, and Art Director, Pascal Jaulent, Face à Face continues to create exciting fresh new styles and colors in eyglasses and sunglasses for both men and women. The basic principle of Face à Face has always been architecture, and how they combine fashion with shapes and colors.
Pascal pays close attention to both design and but also fashion trends so they convey not only a sense of personal style but of contemporary fashion. Jaulent sees design elements for eyewear in everyday life, from a model’s eyebrows to a piece of furniture. He uses materials that will also convey that exciting French style with classic durability and versatility.
Come into one of the four Europtics locations soon and see this wonderfully artful line. We’re sure you’ll find something to be excited about.
