The Balmain - Saint Jean II continues the collection named for the founder's Alpine birthplace, drawing on his youth spent in the exacting lines of mathematics and engineering—preparation for what he believed would be his profession, architecture. Those studies guided his fashion forever after, and this frame wears them plainly: precise, structured, quietly rigorous. Designed with Akoni Group and handmade in Japan from titanium and cotton-based Japanese acetate. Lightweight ceramic nose pads carry the comfort engineering beneath the couture surface. Handmade in Japan. Includes Balmain box, hard case, soft case, cleaning cloth, and 1-year manufacturer warranty.
