LES MONTS IS A NEW YORK-BASED PRODUCER OF HANDCRAFTED, LIMITED EDITION EYEWEAR. ENRICHED BY THE HUMAN TOUCH, OUR WEARABLES EVOKE A SENSE OF WARMTH AND DRIVE A LASTING CONNECTION BETWEEN OWNER AND OBJECT.

Our design philosophy is a delicate marriage of traditional craftsmanship and bold innovation; a harmonious give-and-take that yields sunglasses of unrivaled attitude and grace. Our pursuit of resplendent materials and premier components results in masterful compositions that are handmade in scarce quantities and unsubscribed to current trends.

In French, Les Monts means “the mountains”. As the brands’ namesake, the mountains are symbolic of the fickle journey endured by creative individuals who go for what they love. Additionally, they serve as a constant reminder that many good things, like a personal creative endeavor, or the production of our handmade goods themselves, require time and dedication. And, while the journey to reach that goal may prove challenging, there is often great value to be found at the summit. Each limited edition spectacle is a testament to those who have been fearless in their pursuits; and, to those who are at the beginning of their journey, a pair can ignite the courage to take that next step.
