A soft round shape in a grey with a faint violet cast. Reads as neutral under most light. Hand-finished in the studio and dimensioned to the wearer at fitting.
Every Lavalle is dimensioned to the wearer at the second sitting. The figures here describe the base draft, before fitting.
The first Lavalle was cut for a client who, in the studio's notes, wanted a frame that disappeared into every outfit. We built the opposite of what he'd worn before.
The result favours the round line the studio keeps returning to: heavier where the eye expects weight, and light everywhere the skin meets the frame. It is cut in ash grey acetate, 19g finished, and fitted with a 5-barrel brass hinge.
