    ASPEX, THE BACKSTORY OF CLIP-ON EYEWEAR

    We’ve been telling you for a few seasons now that clip-ons have become an unexpected eyewear trend for the summer. Offering a real fashion alternative to sunglasses, they enable you to be as fanciful as you like with a single click. And if there is just one model you should wear, we would recommend the brand’s magnetic clip-ons, which are currently attracting fashionistas like magnets! Across the Atlantic, this brilliant invention by Aspex has been a hit since its debut in 1997. A major asset for the group, it has won over the American market and made the Canadian flagship company the historic manufacturer of clip-on sunglasses. Meanwhile, Aspex Europe is about to celebrate its 20th anniversary. Now feels like a good time to shed some light on what has made Aspex the world’s leading brand for clip-ons, and EasyClip© the go-to eyewear tech for France’s most stylish glasses-wearers across the generations.

    EASYCLIP, A BRILLIANT IDEA

    This is a far cry from the flip-up lenses and claw clips of the 1970s and 1980s. EasyClip© owes its success to two tiny points, just 2 mm in diameter. These are the result of a patented system featuring neodymium magnets that exert ten times the magnetic pull of conventional ferrous magnets. These pressure points ensure exceptional hold, even when the wearer moves or lowers their head. Whether for everyday use, exercise, or driving, this is eyewear combining comfort and practicality. Both very flat and with lightweight frames, the clip is discreet when stored in the slim case. What’s more, all EasyClip© models come with polarized lenses. Gone are the days of juggling several pairs of glasses to save a bit of money; even if visual safety is priceless, this less expensive dual-use accessory will always be more economical and more environmentally friendly. After all, today’s brilliant ideas are the ones that will protect the planet tomorrow. As a transgenerational, eco-friendly brand, Aspex is committed to designing quality clip-ons that are built to last – and all without sacrificing style.

Your prescription glasses will instantly become cool, stylish, and bespoke. Some 230 models in plastic, metal, or both, in 700 different colors, are waiting to be discovered at your local optician’s. The range is as vast as it is easy to navigate, as every frame comes with a color-coordinated clip-on. A convenient way to keep up with the latest technology, designs, and trends.
