Boring? Expensive? Dull? That’s what eyewear used to be.
Jimmy Fairly was born in Paris in 2010 to challenge the status quo: high-quality, stylish glasses at fair prices—with a mission to give back.

Fast forward to today, Jimmy Fairly has over 160 stores across Europe and the UK. We design new collections every six weeks and offer a seamless, customer-first experience—from frame styling to eye exams to after-care. And we’re just getting started.

For every pair of glasses sold, we donate one to someone in need through our long-standing partnership with Restoring Vision.

Our very first U.S. store opens in New York City in September 2025
, and we’re looking for a passionate Licensed Optician to join the adventure!
