Safilo and Stuart Weitzman Announce Multi-Year Exclusive Global Licensing Agreement

Safilo and New York luxury footwear brand Stuart Weitzman announce a new exclusive global licensing agreement that runs through June 2029, for the design, manufacturing and distribution of Stuart Weitzman branded sunglasses and optical eyewear collections.

The first eyewear collection, which includes both sunglasses and optical frames, will be presented in North America for the Fall/Winter 2024 season.

“Building on our long history and successful collaboration with Tapestry, Inc. we are very proud to start this new partnership with Stuart Weitzman. As this agreement marks the coveted footwear brand’s entry into eyewear, we are excited to introduce to the market a distinctively designed launch collection,” says Angelo Trocchia, CEO of Safilo Group.

“Stuart Weitzman is known for creating stylish, comfortable, high-quality shoes that inspire confidence — and just like footwear, eyewear is an emotional, everyday accessory,” says Giorgio Sarné, Stuart Weitzman CEO & Brand President. “Our goal is to infuse our signature values into eyewear and create accessories that help our consumers look and feel their best.”
