Marchon and Paul Smith Sign Exclusive Licensing Agreement for Eyewear

Marchon Eyewear and Paul Smith, Britain’s leading independent design company, announced that they have entered into an exclusive, long-term global licensing agreement.

Marchon was previously responsible for the distribution of Paul Smith eyewear in North America. Under this new partnership, Marchon now oversees the design, manufacturing, and global distribution of the brand’s eyewear collection since January 2023.

Paul Smith sun and optical styles are designed with a classic yet modern approach, with a focus on craft and attention to detail – featuring the distinct signature styling and the organic colour palette Paul Smith is known for.

“Marchon is very proud to partner with Paul Smith, an iconic brand with timeless styling,” said Thomas Burkhardt, President of Marchon Eyewear, Inc. “We look forward to contributing to the brand’s future growth around the world, while strengthening our offering within the luxury eyewear segment. The new collections will be offering new eyewear styles that will uniquely capture the essence and exceptional quality of the Paul Smith brand.”

“We are delighted to be embarking on a new global eyewear partnership with Marchon. Harnessing their expertise in manufacturing and distribution and bringing our own unique approach to design and creativity, we have every confidence it will be a prosperous collaboration.” Ashley Long, Managing Director, Paul Smith Ltd.
