Chevalier, French for knight, is an apt name for this frame—for just like the most loyal of legendary kni- ghts, Balmain Eyewear has pledged itself to honor, celebrate and always remain true to a singular herita- ge. And this frame makes that commitment to the historic house of Balmain’s transformative vision very clear. At first glance, the Chevalier may appear pared-down. But, as always with Balmain, one only needs to take the time to examine closely, in order to appreciate the house’s famed passion for perfecting each and every luxury detail, no matter how small. The oval-shaped, Japanese-acetate frame holds a wealth of embellishments crafted from the finest Japanese titanium, including pressed patterns on the upper half-rim and a side-cap mesh patterns that replicate Balmain’s iconic Labyrinth motif. It’s clear that the Chevalier provides the shining armour needed to accessorize today’s most fearless knights.
