Supporting the Arts at the French Riviera and DaVinci Film Festivals
This week, Velvet Eyewear brought its signature style and message of affordable luxury to Cannes as a proud sponsor of both the French Riviera Film Festival and the DaVinci International Film Festival—two events that celebrate not just stars and red carpets, but the full spectrum of cinematic creativity.
While the French Riviera set the stage for elegance and film culture, Velvet Eyewear was there to do more than dress the part—we came to support the creators, the dreamers, and the storytellers.
A Brand That Believes in More Than Fashion
At Velvet, we’re known for classic, stylish sunglasses and optical frames that elevate your everyday. But our mission goes deeper: we believe in empowering artists, embracing individuality, and honoring the creative process.
Sponsoring these two incredible festivals was our way of giving back to the artistic community—supporting not only award-winning actors and directors, but also the indie creators, the teams behind short films, and the talent behind the scenes that bring each project to life.

Velvet on the Riviera
One of the highlights? Seeing Eugenia Kuzmina aboard the historic Kalizma yacht in our Helen sunglasses—a perfect match for the Cannes sunshine and the spirit of cinematic celebration. From the decks of yachts to rooftop screenings, Velvet was there to frame the faces of filmmakers, actors, and innovators alike.
Explore the exact styles featured at the film festivals, like the Helen, Jane, and more in our curated Sunglass Style Boxes and Luxe Sun Sets.
Why It Matters
