arcus paris

Founded in 2023 by Amanda Cheng in Paris, Arcus Paris is an independent eyewear brand that challenges traditional optical design through its signature pierced frames. Drawing inspiration from facial piercing charts and astrology, Cheng—a former art teacher and fashion design graduate—personally hand-drills and adorns each pair of sunglasses with metal hardware and chains. This distinctive approach transforms standard eyewear into subversive, wearable art that appeals to a bold, avant-garde audience seeking individuality over mass-market trends.
