Ray Ban, Wogue-Eyewear, Persol, Dolce&Gabbana, Versace, Armani, Miu Miu, Prada, Burberry, and so on – what do all these brands have in common? Besides being quite well-known, they are all produced by the company Luxottica Group S.p.A. Each brand has its own origin; for example, Ray Ban is from America, Burberry has English roots, Chanel represents French charm, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Armani are unmistakably Italian... And Luxottica is based in Milan. How did it happen that such diverse eyewear brands established themselves here?
In fact, some eyewear brands are owned by the manufacturer itself, while others are produced under license. For instance, Ray Ban, originally (since 1920), was a trademark of the American company Bausch & Lomb, but after 1999, it became the property of Luxottica. The British company Burberry, with its origins dating back to 1856, simply granted the right to produce its "signature" glasses to Luxottica Group. Similarly, Chanel, well-known for its exclusivity since 1908, and many others... The fact that companies renowned for their impeccable style and quality trust Luxottica to produce glasses with their company logo speaks for itself!
Luxottica Group S.p.A. was founded in 1961 by Leonardo Del Vecchio and, from the very beginning, specialized in the production of optical components and accessories. The idea of collaborating with fashion manufacturers arose thanks to the insight of the founder. In a period when glasses ceased to be merely a tool for vision correction and gained the image of a fashionable accessory, Mr. Leonardo saw the potential for collaboration with the world's top designers. The first licensing agreement for eyewear production with Giorgio Armani was signed in 2003, followed by contracts with most leading global brands!
Today, Luxottica Group glasses, whether prescription or sunglasses, are present on all continents. As luxury items, they are usually offered in specialized centers. You can purchase them in the Voguespex network of stores, where you can also benefit from the assistance of knowledgeable consultants.
Each of the listed brands has its distinctive unique style, but what unites them is the quality and excellence of Luxottica Group S.p.A. Undoubtedly, this is what deserves your recognition and your choice!
