About this piece

Inspired by traditional glacier sunglasses, Heron Desert feature polarized lenses that enhance contrast and visibility in vast, sun-drenched landscapes. The TR90® frame is both lightweight and durable and has a matte finish for a classic, desert look. Featuring leather side-shields for added coverage, they are the perfect companion for desert adventures, dune trekking, and off-road exploration.

About the artist

Brothers Marcus and Richard Franck founded Vallon in 2018 in Verbier, Switzerland, after years of skiing, touring, and hiking the Val de Bagnes. The name is French for 'small valley' — a reference to the Vallon d'Arbi above Verbier where the idea took shape. Before launching the brand, the two ran the Old Schoolers Instagram account dedicated to the history of skiing; that obsession with vintage alpine eyewear shows up in every Vallon model — classic shapes resurrected with modern V52 lens technology and contemporary frame materials.
