Iconic French brand Louboutin is set to launch its debut eyewear collection in partnership with Marcolin.
Marcolin and international luxury brand Christian Louboutin signed an exclusive global licensing agreement this week for the design, manufacture and distribution of the brand’s sunglasses and optical frames until 2029.
“We are extremely proud that such a prestigious and globally appreciated brand like Christian Louboutin has chosen us to make its debut in the eyewear industry,” remarked Marcolin CEO and general manager, Fabrizio Curci. “This proves once again that the market recognises Marcolin’s unique know-how in the design and manufacturing of luxury products of the highest quality.”
Alexis Mourot, CEO of Christian Louboutin, commented: “Christian Louboutin is progressively rolling out a strategy to become a complete lifestyle luxury accessories player and the eyewear and sunglasses categories are a natural extension for us. Marcolin is the ideal partner for this strategic partnership as they share the same vision for creating objects of desires of an outstanding quality and instantly recognisable creativity.”
Louboutin eyewear is tipped to present a clear nod to the Maison’s iconic codes, and will be distributed starting in the spring/summer of 2025.
Marcolin has also recently renewed its licence agreement with Max & Co, Zegna and GCDS.
