About Bollé
Bollé has established itself as a pioneer in performance eyewear since its humble beginnings in the small town of Oyonnax, France. Initially manufacturing combs and hair ornaments from boxwood and horn, the company pivoted to sunglasses production and eventually specialized in advanced sports eyewear that combines safety standards with cutting-edge design.
The brand gained international recognition through its association with elite athletes across multiple disciplines, particularly in cycling, skiing, and tennis. These professional partnerships have driven Bollé's continuous technical innovation, resulting in proprietary lens technologies like Phantom that automatically adjust to changing light conditions through photochromic molecular activation.
Throughout its evolution, Bollé has maintained its commitment to combining French design aesthetics with performance engineering. The company's product development process integrates advanced digital modeling with extensive field testing by professional athletes, ensuring that each frame and lens combination delivers optimal performance under the most demanding conditions while maintaining distinctive style elements that make Bollé products immediately recognizable in competitive environments.
