Can I fit my own lenses into these frames?

Does the frame include a warranty?

Yes, each pair comes with an official guarantee. Please refer to the documentation included in your package.

Are these frames lightweight?

While durable and structured, the frames are designed for daily comfort, though weight may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the prescription lenses you install.

How do I verify the authenticity of the frames?

Each pair includes a certificate of authenticity inside the original Balmain packaging.
