Nathalie Blanc // Nuit Bleue

[perfectpullquote align=”left” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=”16″]I have always dreamed of embodying French excellence: extreme precision, undeniable quality, pure and timeless design.

At a young age, Nathalie Blanc started wearing glasses. The shape didn’t fit her face, and the style was not graceful nor trendy. As a teenager, the idea of shaking the world of eyewear had become an obsession. Nathalie made a promise to herself to create her universe, to reinvent a style where this functional and unattractive accessory would reflect one’s style, personality, and aesthetics.

The force behind the brand is the daring, humble, talented, passionate, perfectionist, French-born designer Nathalie Blanc. Nathalie Blanc is a true ambassador for the French manufacturing and excellence in know-how, and her talent exudes in the refined and delicate frames she designs, the ones that combine the perfect harmony between the eye, the style, and material.
