Bespoke glasses & sunglasses · DIFC, Dubai
Bespoke eyewear, designed for your face
No standard frame fits you, or none says what you want to say? We design your glasses or sunglasses around your face and your purpose, prototype them in 3D and handcraft them at our bench in DIFC — in three appointments, from 5,000 AED. Design begins with a 1,000 AED commitment, deducted from your order.

- 3 appointments

- Ready 10 days to 4 weeks after

“Don’t look for a shape or a colour. Ask yourself what message your glasses should send. The pair you wear to the office is not the one you wear to a wedding, or on a family weekend at the beach.”
Jérôme Aupin, Maître Artisan
For whom
Three kinds of clients walk through our door
The collector, who already owns rare, vintage and luxurious frames, and loves to talk eyewear history.
The face that standard frames never fit. Mass production uses standard measurements; bespoke finally gives you a frame that sits perfectly.
The lover of craftsmanship, who trusts the human hand and wants a piece that carries a story.
The journey
Three appointments, one pair
The interview
First appointment
More than fourteen measurements of your face and a conversation about your style, your habits and the feeling your glasses should carry. We sketch together.
The prototype fitting
About two days later
You try 3D-printed prototypes to validate shape and proportions, then choose the final details: material, colours, engraving — including Arabic calligraphy — and metal accents.
The delivery
10 days to 4 weeks later
Your frame, handcrafted at our bench, is adjusted on your face. We share how to care for it so it stays perfect for years.
Pricing
Transparent from the first visit
Cellulose acetate — from 5,000 AED. More than a hundred colours in stock.
Genuine buffalo horn — on quotation, depending on the shade.
Brass, silver, 14k and 18k gold, precious stones — on quotation, depending on your design.
Options such as a silver bridge, silver hinges, special cuts, gold plating or a custom engraving can be added; your quotation details each of them.
The first appointment is for measurements and a conversation about your project. Design work and prototypes begin only with a 1,000 AED commitment, paid at the end of this first appointment if you wish to continue — it is deducted from your order.
The JAUPIN signature
Recognisable by those who know
A perfect polish, an impeccable comfort, and the J of JAUPIN engraved behind the right ear.
Acetate, buffalo horn, silver and gold are our everyday materials; mother-of-pearl, leather, enamel and fabric inlays make each piece unexpected.

I have never had both my wife and daughter like my glasses before this pair. Exceptional service and quality. I almost want someone to steal them so I can do it again!Extremely nice and approachable. Walk through every part of the process to create a pair of custom glasses. Very hands on, communicative and professional. Goes without saying the craftmanship is excellent and final product perfect.Handcrafted, tailored made, bespoke glasses, an experience like no other. Jaupin stands out for their attention to every detail, so your glasses not only look perfect on you but also reflect your personality and style. Simply the best shopping experience i’ve ever had!Amazing location, customer service and quality. The glasses are on the more expensive end (they are completely custom made), but are the kind of eyewear you will keep for the rest of your life. If you’re looking for the perfect pair of glasses to keep for years to come, Jaupin is the place to visit.Questions about bespoke
How long does a bespoke pair take?
Between 10 days and 4 weeks after the prototype fitting, depending on your design.
How many appointments are needed?
Three: the interview with measurements and design, the prototype fitting about two days later, and the delivery with final adjustments.
How much does bespoke eyewear cost?
Acetate frames start from 5,000 AED. Buffalo horn, silver, gold and frames set with stones are quoted according to your design.
What does the first appointment cost?
There is no fee for the first appointment itself: measurements and a conversation about your project. To continue to design and prototypes, a 1,000 AED commitment is paid at the end of it and deducted from your order. Design work is never started without it.
Can I order bespoke if I only visit Dubai?
Yes. We schedule your interview at the beginning of your stay and the prototype fitting two days later. If you leave before delivery, we ship your finished pair internationally.
Can you make bespoke sunglasses, with my prescription?
Yes. Every bespoke frame is designed as optical glasses or sunglasses, and can be fitted with your prescription lenses.
Which materials do you work with?
Cellulose acetate, genuine buffalo horn, brass, silver, 14k and 18k gold, precious stones, and inlays such as mother-of-pearl, leather, enamel or fabric.
How do I recognise a JAUPIN?
By its finish and comfort, by the J engraved behind the right ear, and, for LEGENDARY pieces, by their certificate of authenticity.
