The vision behind Our Agency

With 25 years of experience in the optical industry as a trained optician and optometrist, Arnaud Surmont has built a reputation as a trusted advisor to high-end opticians across the BENELUX.
As the founder of Our Agency, he carefully curates a portfolio of exclusive eyewear brands from France and Italy, ensuring a perfect balance between design, craftsmanship, and sustainability.

His diverse portfolio ranges from avant-garde statement pieces to timeless, eco-conscious designs, ensuring that every optician finds frames that reflect their brand identity.
