Boring? Expensive? Dull?Jimmy Fairly was born, not with a want but a need to revolutionise the optical industry.
Founded in 2010 by Antonin Chartier, a 23-year-old psychology student with a passion for entrepreneurship.
Chartiers concept was simple: quality glasses, fair prices, and a positive social impact.Over a decade later, little has changed.
Now with over 100 stores across Europe and the UK,Jimmy Fairly is successfully bringing back great style and a smile to the optical world.Great style by dropping on-trend designs every 6 weeks, with a short-circuit manufacturing process that does not compromise on quality or our planet.
