Kering Eyewear is the One and Only Luxury Eyewear Company in the whole industry.

Beginning as a startup in 2014, Kering Eyewear was launched by Kering and a group of managers led by Roberto Vedovotto, with the aim of building eyewear expertise for the Group’s Houses.

The first Kering Eyewear collections were unveiled in 2015 and involved 11 brands.

Since then, several Houses have been added to the portfolio and today Kering Eyewear counts 17 fashion and luxury brands, with an unparalleled offer in the market.

Kering Eyewear was the first eyewear company to introduce a business model based on the internalization of the entire value chain. Today Kering Eyewear has a network of highly qualified manufacturers and, since 2019, relies on a fully automated Logistics Hub.

In July 2021, Kering Eyewear announced the acquisition of the luxury eyewear brand LINDBERG, and in March 2022 the company revealed the acquisition of Maui Jim, together with ZEAL Optics, both known for their outstanding lens technology, marking two important milestones in Kering Eyewear’s successful expansion and reinforcing its role as the most relevant player in the Luxury Eyewear market segment.
Kering Eyewear works closely with the brands’ Creative Directors to ensure that the product design and characteristics are fully aligned with the DNA and the positioning of each brand.

The company has a distribution network serving more than 20,000 clients and 40,000 points of sale in around 130 countries.

At the same time, a great deal of attention is paid to sustainability and research into new sustainable materials. In 2018, Kering Eyewear published its first Environmental Profit & Loss Account.

Kering Eyewear’s success is led by the strong support of the Kering Group, by its extraordinary portfolio of brands and by the best team of professionals in the industry.
These factors have led Kering Eyewear to be recognized for its visionary and disruptive business approach to the Luxury Eyewear industry.
