Who We Are

Jimmy Fairly was founded in Paris in 2010 with a bold idea: high-quality, beautifully designed eyewear at fair prices.

Today, we operate over 180 stores across Europe and the UK, launching new collections every six weeks and delivering a seamless, customer-first experience from styling to aftercare.

In December 2025, we opened our first U.S. retail location in New York City, marking the beginning of Jimmy Fairly’s expansion in the American market. Since then, we’ve built strong momentum with growing brand awareness, high traffic, and an increasingly loyal local community.
