Jimmy Fairly was founded in 2010 by Antonin Chartier, a 23-year-old psychology student at the time, with the desire to "make high-quality, beautiful glasses more affordable and an enjoyable experience for everyone." The company was founded on the simple beliefs of "high-quality glasses," "fair prices," and "social and sustainable impact." Over the past 10 years, the company has expanded its stores to France, the UK, Belgium, Italy, and Spain, and currently operates more than 126 stores. It continues to bring style and smiles to the world while bringing new values to the eyewear industry, which was previously outdated and expensive.
In order to provide the highest quality eyewear at revolutionary prices, the company has completely eliminated middlemen and is involved in everything from planning and design to lens development, assembly, and quality checks in-house. Its creative studio in Paris produces unique, limited edition designs that capture the latest trends, with a focus on detail, finish, and environmentally friendly materials.
The lenses are developed in-house, offering excellent water and dirt resistance and excellent clarity. The acetate frame material is made from the highest quality components. To minimize environmental impact at every stage of manufacturing, many models use RENEW® sustainable acetate, which is 60% recycled and 40% bio-based, making it fully recyclable.
Since its founding, the company has also collaborated with the NGO "RestoringVision," donating one pair of glasses to someone in need of vision correction for every pair purchased. Over the past 10 years, the company has donated over 1 million pairs, continuing its social contribution efforts.
