Bollé (France)

Bollé delivers the highest quality sunglasses, goggles and helmets built for performance and protection. At Bollé we are constantly refining our trademark combination of fit, fashion, and comfort, resulting in some of the freshest and most technologically advanced protective wear in the industry.

The Bollé story began in the small town of Oyonnax, France in 1888 where Seraphim Bollé started his company manufacturing combs and hair ornaments for the boxwood and horn indigenous to the region. After WWII, Bollé led the way in molding nylon to the highest standards in the world. Safety glasses and goggles were added to the Bollé line in 1950 and in 1956, Georges Bollé created the famous nylon ‘cat-eye’ sunglass. 1960 brought the first ski goggles to the Bollé collection.

Leading the industry in product innovation, the Bollé family took the business from a small cottage industry to one of the world’s most prominent manufacturers of protective eyewear and helmets. Now, over 100 years later, Bollé products are distributed and worn all over the world. Bollé has developed particular strength in the sports specialty markets of cycling, snow sports, golf, tennis and marine activities, as well as eyewear that meets everyday needs.

Bollé. For Sport. For Life.
