First of all, we would like to thank the Morbihan Chamber of Commerce and Industry and all the partners for the organisation of this competition and the quality of the event at the Palais des Congrès de Lorient.

We are very happy to have won this prize which represents, for Friendly Frenchy, a real recognition of our innovation in Bretagne and in France: shell glasses.

The Morbihan Oscars competition rewards start-ups, young entrepreneurs and companies from Morbihan who develop an innovation.

This innovation may concern a product or service, a process, an organisation, a marketing or commercial concept and/or have a social or environmental dimension...

The founders of the brand, Sandrine Guyot and Laurent Pezé, received this trophy during the Morbihan Oscars evening in February 2020. After 3 years of R&D, the brand has developed 2 innovative, bio-sourced materials with recycled shells resulting from patented technologies adapted to the production tools of eyewear manufacturers.

The frames in the Beach collection are manufactured using an almost exclusively mechanical process: injection moulding using 100% bio-sourced materials from plant resources not used for human or animal consumption. This bio-sourced and recycled material from oysters, mussels and scallops was launched in 2018 after 2 years of research and development.

The Solarmor collectionlabelled "Origine France Garantie" (frame and lenses), is made by hand using a bio-sourced material based on wood cellulose, always with recycled shells. This material has taken an additional research and development phase to come to fruition. This collection enhances the richness of our coastline and our resources through shells (with the recovery of shell waste), the excellence of French expertise in eyewear threatened by relocation.

The shells (shellfish waste) used for this eco-responsible collection are the result of partnerships with producers, fishermen and industry players on the French coast.
