J.F. REY LAYERS
Dual structure. Bold colors.
For over 40 years, J.F. Rey has shaped the world of independent eyewear through fearless design, technical mastery, and refined artisanal craftsmanship.
With the launch of its LAYERS Collection, the iconic Made in France eyewear brand introduces a striking re-interpretation of the combination frame, one that invites you to see structure as style and engineering as expression.
The name says it all: J.F. Rey LAYERS is a visual and structural exploration of overlapping materials, dual tones, and graphic contrasts. The collection offers a bold new direction for those who expect their eyewear to deliver not just function, but form, texture, and meaning.
Engineering the Unexpected
Beneath their clean profiles, these frames reveal an impressive degree of technical sophistication, a hallmark of J.F. Rey craftsmanship. At the core of each design is a two-tone metal lining, developed to cradle color-saturated acetate rings with millimetric precision. The result is a combination frame that’s not only visually stunning but also more flexible, more durable, and supremely comfortable to wear.
This clever construction reimagines the traditional boundaries of French combination eyewear, offering a seamless integration of materials that feels both contemporary and timeless.
Tactile Finishes, Thoughtful Colorwork
What sets LAYERS apart isn’t just its build quality, but its rich material language. From subtle textures to custom color palettes, every element is designed to balance understated elegance with technical edge. These frames are equally at home on a minimalist trendsetter or a maximalist creative—they walk the line between precision and personality.
With LAYERS, J.F. Rey doesn’t follow the path. It carves its own, one layer at a time.
