Angular Sophistication and Meticulous French Sculpture
The Slippery is an assertive rectangular frame designed for those who seek high-impact eyewear with a refined finish. Known for its "flat-front" design and aggressive beveling, this model transforms premium Italian acetate into a piece of wearable architecture. The Slippery is particularly noted for its wide temples and substantial bridge, providing a balanced, masculine-leaning profile.
8mm Solid Block Acetate: Hand-sculpted from premium Mazzucchelli cellulose acetate. The use of 8mm thick blocks allows for deep, dramatic beveling that would be impossible with standard-thickness frames.
Diamond-Cut Beveling: The frame front features sharp, hand-finished facets along the top and bottom rims. This reduces the physical weight of the frame while creating a prismatic effect that catches the light from every angle.
Pure Titanium Hardware: Many variations of the Slippery utilize Grade 5 Japanese Titanium for the internal wire cores or temple accents, ensuring the frame remains lightweight and hypoallergenic without sacrificing structural rigidity.
Discreet Luxury Philosophy: In accordance with Thierry Lasry’s signature style, the exterior is entirely logo-free. The brand’s identity is expressed through the unique "Slippery" silhouette and the quality of the hand-polishing.
Reinforced 7-Barrel Hinges: Outfitted with heavy-duty, industrial-grade hinges that are securely anchored into the acetate front and temples. This provides a high-torque opening mechanism that maintains its tension over years of wear.
Oversized Anatomic Bridge: The 20mm+ bridge is hand-milled to provide an expansive surface area. This ensures the frame sits securely on the nose, distributing the weight of the thick acetate to prevent pressure points.
Hand-Finished Luster: Each frame undergoes a proprietary multi-day tumbling and hand-buffing process in France or Italy, resulting in a glass-like finish on both the flat surfaces and the beveled facets.
Model: Slippery
Lens Width: 50mm
Bridge Width: 21mm - 23mm (depending on production run)
Temple Length: 145mm
Frame Height: 42mm
Manufacturing: Entirely Handmade in France or Italy
Expert Note: The Slippery is an ideal technical choice for High-Minus Prescriptions. The 8mm thickness of the acetate rims naturally conceals the edge thickness of powerful lenses, providing a sleek, aesthetically pleasing result even for complex optical needs.
