Sabine Be · at Farmilo

Eyewear as Art. Handmade in France.

Some glasses are designed to blend in. Bold colour. Playful shapes. Unexpected details. unmistakably French creativity.

Sabine Be turns eyewear into something much more personal — a piece of design that can completely change the way you look and feel.

At Farmilo Optometrist, we’re proud to stock a carefully selected collection of Sabine Be eyewear in Leicester.

If you want glasses with genuine personality, this is a collection you need to try on.

Sabine Be is designed to be noticed.

The Story Behind Sabine Be

Sabine Be was created by French designer Sabine Bégault-Vagner. Growing up in a family of opticians gave Sabine an understanding of eyewear from an early age. But rather than creating conventional frames, she developed a style that is unmistakably her own. Colour is celebrated.

Shapes are exaggerated. Small details become features. And eyewear becomes a way of expressing personality rather than simply correcting vision. The result is one of the most distinctive independent eyewear collections we stock at Farmilo.

Handmade in France

Sabine Be has retained something increasingly unusual in modern eyewear:

French production and craftsmanship.

Its frames are made in France using specialist eyewear manufacturing techniques and carefully selected materials. That matters because creating a beautiful acetate frame involves considerably more than simply cutting out a shape. The material needs to be formed, polished, assembled and finished properly.

Pick up a Sabine Be frame and look closely. The quality is in the acetate, the finish, the detailing and the way the colours work together.

Colour Without Apology

Colour is one of the defining characteristics of Sabine Be. Where conventional eyewear often stays safely within black, brown and tortoiseshell, Sabine Be isn’t afraid to experiment. You might find:

Sometimes several colours appear within the same frame. Yet the clever part is making those colours work together. A Sabine Be frame can be colourful without looking childish and playful without losing sophistication.

Colour isn't an afterthought. It's part of the design.

Rich blues
Bright reds
Greens
Pinks
Oranges
Contrasting temples
Layered acetates
Unexpected colour combinations

Shapes With Personality

Sabine Be isn’t only about colour. Shape is equally important. Round frames can become dramatically round. Cat-eye shapes can become more expressive. Oversized frames can become architectural.

And apparently simple designs often contain small details that make them completely different when they’re actually on your face. These aren’t frames designed to appeal to absolutely everybody. And that’s exactly the point.

They're designed to be loved by the right person.

The Little Details

One of the pleasures of Sabine Be eyewear is looking closely. You’ll often discover details you didn’t notice when you first saw the frame. A contrasting colour on the temple. An unexpected shape around the lens. A flash of colour from the side.

Beautifully polished acetate. A tiny design detail that makes the frame feel special. Those details are part of what separates independent eyewear from frames designed primarily for mass production.

Glasses Can Change Your Face

Most people think about glasses in terms of whether they “suit” them. We think it’s more interesting than that. The right glasses can highlight your eyes. They can introduce colour to your face. They can soften your features. They can make you look more contemporary.

Or they can become the defining part of your personal style. Sabine Be gives us a lot to work with.

We’ll look at your face shape, colouring and personality — but we’ll also encourage you to try something you might never have chosen yourself.

Because sometimes the frame that looks unusual on the shelf looks extraordinary on the face.

Which glasses look least noticeable?

For People Who Don't Want Ordinary Glasses

Sabine Be is particularly appealing if you’ve reached the point where conventional eyewear simply feels a little boring. Perhaps you’ve worn similar glasses for years. Perhaps every optician seems to show you the same shapes.

Or perhaps glasses have always been something you’ve needed rather than something you’ve enjoyed wearing. Sabine Be can completely change that experience. Instead of asking:

You can start asking:

“Which glasses do I absolutely love?”

Bold Doesn't Have to Mean Unwearable

A frame can look dramatic on the display and surprisingly natural when you put it on. Colour behaves differently against different skin tones. The proportions of the frame change when they’re sitting on a face.

And a distinctive shape can sometimes balance facial features better than a conventional one. That’s why Sabine Be really needs to be tried rather than simply looked at. We’ll help you find the point between individual and wearable that’s right for you.

Ready for Your Prescription

Beautiful eyewear still needs to give you excellent vision.

Sabine Be frames can be paired with a wide range of prescription lens options depending on your individual prescription and the particular frame.

These can include:

With stronger prescriptions, we’ll also consider frame size, lens shape and thickness before recommending the most appropriate combination. The aim is for the finished glasses to work optically as well as aesthetically.

Premium single vision lenses
Advanced varifocal lenses
Occupational lenses
Thinner high-index lenses
Premium anti-reflection coatings
Photochromic lenses
Prescription sun lenses

Beautiful Frames Deserve Beautiful Lenses

When someone chooses a frame as distinctive as Sabine Be, the lenses shouldn’t be an afterthought. We’ll consider your prescription, how you use your eyes and the frame you’ve chosen before recommending your lenses.

For some prescriptions, choosing a thinner lens material can help preserve the appearance of the frame. For others, lens design or positioning becomes particularly important. And for varifocal wearers, accurate measurements and professional fitting are essential.

At Farmilo, we look at the complete pair of glasses, not simply the frame.

Independent Eyewear at Farmilo

Sabine Be represents exactly what we enjoy about being an independent optician. We’re not restricted to filling our displays with the same familiar brands found throughout the high street. We can seek out eyewear because we love it. Because it’s beautifully made.

Because the design is interesting. And because we think our patients will enjoy wearing it. Sabine Be is one of those collections.

We have a carefully selected collection of Sabine Be frames in stock at Farmilo Optometrist. Come in and explore them. Try the colours. Try the unusual shapes. Try the frame you initially think is “too much”. Then look in the mirror.

That’s the fun of Sabine Be.
