Prisme Optical Group Picks Up the Beausoleil Line

Since the end of the 1980s, the craftsman and eyewear designer Frédéric Beausoleil has been a veritable standard-bearer of French luxury The Frédéric Beausoleil collection of eyeglasses quickly made its mark on the international scene with its mix of tradition and modernism, authenticity and know-how, elegance and quality.   The new alliance with Prisme Optical Group was a natural fit for both parties. Frédéric Beausoleil sought a North American distributor who was familiar with the market and shared his taste for designer eyewear, while Prisme Optical Group had always made it a point of honour to offer products that stand out.   The signature Frédéric Beausoleil is based on a host of small details that add value to the brand. As such, the design of the saddle bridge allows it to adapt to the physiognomy of the wearer and to offer exceptional comfort. All cellulose acetate plates are fabricated by an Italian workshop that guarantees Beausoleil unique designs and exclusive colours. The saddle hinge, the new trademark piece inspired by French saddlers, is made of surgical stainless steel and achieved through advanced technology. The flex hinge is enhanced by a diamond-cut pattern of palladium or gold. Embellishment in the form of grooves and a hand-polished logo on each temple constitute a signature.   The 2013-2014 collection embraces five different worlds (Héritage, Contemporain, Perspectives, Mode and Haute lunetterie), each in two to five lines. Their common denominator is a successful marriage between authentic know-how and the purity of design and material.
