About Sabine Be

Founded in 2014 by French optician Sabine Bégault-Vagner, Sabine Be was born from a lifelong passion for design and self-expression. Based in Orléans, France, the brand emerged after Sabine spent 33 years working in her family's optical business. Following the loss of her mother, she decided to pursue her childhood dream of becoming a designer. The brand name combines the first letters of her maiden name with the English verb to be, reflecting her philosophy of individuality. Sabine Be represents a defiant celebration of color and craftsmanship, creating wearable art that encourages wearers to embrace their unique personalities.

Every Sabine Be frame is meticulously handcrafted in a renowned French factory using premium plant-based cellulose acetate. This hypoallergenic, biodegradable material allows for extraordinary color layering, where multiple sheets are laminated together under heat and pressure to create unique, unrepeatable patterns. The brand is also known for its exceptional metalwork and precision hinges. Sabine Bégault-Vagner personally designs every element, ensuring the highest quality standards. The manufacturing process takes weeks of skilled artisan work, resulting in durable, comfortable frames that function as both medical devices and exquisite pieces of jewelry.

Sabine Be is instantly recognizable for its sheer audacity in color and architectural silhouettes. The brand's signature design element is its deliberate asymmetry, most notably the temple tips where one is round and the other is square, representing the missing letters in the founder's name. This motif extends to alternating rivets and custom cases. Collections like Be Cat, Be Swag, and Be Confetti feature bold geometric shapes, double-rim constructions, and vibrant jewel tones like electric fuchsia and lime green. Sabine designs the temples before the frame front, treating them as the primary canvas for her artistic vision.

For those looking to buy Sabine Be online or in-store, these frames offer an unparalleled blend of exclusivity, comfort, and avant-garde style. Customers choose Sabine Be eyeglasses and Sabine Be sunglasses to make a confident statement and experience true French luxury. The brand maintains a limited distribution network, ensuring that your Sabine Be frames remain a rare and distinctive accessory. With award-winning designs recognized globally, investing in Sabine Be means acquiring a handcrafted masterpiece that perfectly balances innovative aesthetics with decades of optical expertise, transforming everyday eyewear into a joyful expression of self.
