FAQ — FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• What is the difference between the Légère collection and the Marie-Sophie Dion collection?

  Same workshop, same acetate, same manufacturing process. The Légère collection features thinner profiles and more streamlined shapes, resulting in a lighter weight. The prices remain the same—ranging from $490 to $690—because the production process is just as labor-intensive, if not more so.

• Is a lightweight frame more comfortable?

  Not in a mechanical sense. Comfort stems primarily from how weight is distributed between the nose and the ears, as well as the quality of the fit—specifically regarding the angles of the temples and the positioning of the nose pads. A lightweight frame that is poorly adjusted will be less comfortable to wear than a heavier, well-balanced one.

• Are these frames suitable for progressive lenses?

  Yes, for most models, as long as the lens height is sufficient. Very slim shapes can limit the intermediate vision zone. Our opticians check compatibility before the order is placed.

• Are they made in Quebec?

  Yes, in the Marie-Sophie Dion workshop, just like the rest of the regular Marie-Sophie Dion collection. The acetate sheets and components are imported primarily from Italy.
