Waiting For The Sun

Waiting For The Sun is a French eyewear label started in Paris in 2010 by Antoine Mocquard and Julien Tual, two friends who met in Brittany in 1999. They began with a simple challenge: make wooden glasses at an affordable price. After several years of development they launched a small collection, and the brand worked with wood for its first four years.

In autumn 2013 came BOIS2, a material that is recycled, natural and biodegradable while keeping the qualities people like in acetate. The brand also added SLASH, a range of handmade acetate frames. Today the range covers sun, optical and children's eyewear, and the brand works with technical partners, labels and artists.
