French craftsmanship
Craftsmanship
Urican's frames and glasses are true gems. They reflect an ancestral craft know-how, combined with a contemporary vision of the beauty à la française: elegance, refinement and excellence. Thoroughly hand-made with the use of noble materials such as cellulose acetate, each piece requires over a hundred hours of work. These are the key ingredients of a flawless finish that delivers an unquestionable high-end standard. In order to insure the highest possible quality, all collections are conceived in association with state-certified and highly qualified opticians.
Committed and sensitive to environmental issues, Urican offers Made in France eco-friendly products. Besides being hypoallergenic, each pair is biodegradable. All models are meticulously shaped by a human-sized production team. Every step is carefully controlled and thought to reduce the carbon footprint. Fruit of a production based in the Jura mountains, also known as the cradle of the French optics, the perfectionism of the French craftsmanship is thus showcased with honor, and delivers top-quality products.
