Which luxury house, founded in Paris in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier, makes Cartier sunglasses?

The story behind the answer

Cartier makes Cartier sunglasses and was founded in Paris in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier.

The company began as a jewelry workshop and became an international luxury house known for jewelry, watches, accessories, and eyewear. Cartier sunglasses typically carry the brand’s distinctive French luxury styling and may include motifs also used in its jewelry collections.

The name is sometimes confused with other historic jewelry houses such as Boucheron, Tiffany & Co., and Van Cleef & Arpels. Those companies also produce luxury accessories, but Cartier is the answer to this question.

Cartier’s history is closely associated with Paris, although the company later developed a global retail and manufacturing presence. Its eyewear is part of a much broader product range rather than the company’s original business.
