a delightful treat for lovers of bold and creative eyewear:
GLIMPS by the French eyewear brand FACE A FACE. Perfectly playful and brimming with artistic flair, these glasses are a celebration of color, detail, and design—ideal for making a festive statement.
A Playful Design for Small Faces
The GLIMPS collection is crafted for those who love eyewear with personality. Designed to suit smaller faces, these thick, animated frames feature a distinct chevron pattern that seamlessly integrates into the tenon and overall shape, giving the glasses a dynamic, modern look. The result is a feminine and creative design that’s as unique as its wearer.
GLIMPS is a puzzle of colors, blending vibrant shades into a harmonious design that feels as festive as a burst of fireworks. Each model showcases a tricolored palette, with layers of color fusing and overlapping to create striking combinations. The subtle interplay of graphic elements adds depth and character, ensuring these frames are as eye-catching as they are elegant.
For fans of art-inspired eyewear, GLIMPS ticks every box. The thoughtful details—like the chevron motif and layered color schemes—make each frame a wearable masterpiece, striking a balance between bold artistry and everyday wearability. Whether you’re adding flair to holiday outfits or elevating your everyday look, GLIMPS is a playful yet refined choice.
Celebrate the season with GLIMPS by Face a Face—a design concept that brings fun, flair, and festive joy to eyewear.
