Story & heritage

After Jean Vuarnet’s 1960 Olympic downhill win in cat-eye model 002, the 02 shape became part of the brand’s origin story. Vuarnet’s official page says the model moved from ski slopes into entertainment culture and remains one of the brand’s most iconic styles.

Its small cat-eye outline gives the Legend family its sharpest vintage attitude, connecting mountain glare protection with a more cinematic, urban frame.

Materials & craft

The official specifications list an exclusive Vuarnet nylon frame with shape memory, integrated monobloc hinges, mineral lenses and Made in France construction.

How to choose & style

Pick Legend 02 when you want a compact frame with a little lift at the corners. Black Skilynx feels sporty and graphic, while havana or brown tones soften the cat-eye into a warmer vintage read.
