About the brand
A French designer eyewear house from Orléans. It was founded by optician Sabine Bégault-Vagner, and the brand was launched on 4 March 2014. The name Sabine Be comes from her maiden name. The house makes optical and sun frames, the Mini Be line for children and accessories. It is recognised by its bold colours and by two different temples: one ends in a round coral-red tip, the other in a square.

The circle and the square
Since the first collection every Sabine Be frame has two different temples: one ends in a round coral-red tip, the other in a square. The circle and the square are the signature of the house. They also appear in its logo, after the name, and on the rivets on the front of the frame.
The frames are made by hand. For the first collection the designer found a manufacturer in Normandy. The temple of our Be Addict Sun reads hand made in France, and that of the Be Mythic hand made in Italy.
From optician to designer
Sabine Bégault-Vagner is an optician who took over her parents' shop, having wanted to be a fashion designer as a young woman. She launched her brand on 4 March 2014. She made the name from her maiden name: it is easy to pronounce, and from the start she wanted to go beyond France. The colours of her frames, she says, are inspired by Miami.
