The Pontet family, originally from Marseille, has been working in the eyewear business for four generations.
In 1930, Hermes' grandfather, opened Optique Pontet: one of the first opticians' shops in Marseille.
With this history with him, Hermes Pontet, founder of the brand, grew up in a world where glasses were everywhere.
For Hermes, the designer, optics has become a passion, and continuing the work of his ancestors, an obvious choice.
This is how the Hermes Pontet brand was born.
With its dual heritage, the brand draws its energy from Marseille and more broadly from the Mediterranean: Western civilisations cradle.
Each collection will be an opportunity to explore an ancient city in the
Mediterranean basin, a visual stopover.
Sunny landscapes and iodised smells, it is in this
resolutely sensorial setting that the designer finds his
inspiration.
