MEXX eyewear not to be confused with MEXX clothing

Recently, news broke out that the MEXX clothing chain filed for bankruptcy.

Raymond Lanctôt Ltée wants to reassure ECPs that regular operational activities for our MEXX ophthalmic frames and sunglasses (such as purchasing, warranty, returns, etc.) at Raymond Lanctôt Ltd will not be affected by this temporary administration situation.

Our supplier OWP, located in Germany, still owns the MEXX licence for the frames and is in excellent financial health. As a matter of fact, about 20 new MEXX frames will be available to you in January 2015.

If you have any questions, please call your local representative.

MIDO honoured in Italy

MIDO won the 2014 Exhibitionist Award in Milan.

The award honours the quality of the setting in which a professional exhibition is held, particularly the aesthetics of the location and its functionality, as well as the search for new solutions.

This year, MIDO won the prize for the best special area – the 2014 Fashion District project – designed by the Cavalletti and Pagliariccio studio and built by Nolostand.

The project was selected for its innovative solutions, such as the digital processing of abstract images taken in real time during the exhibition and the suspended interactive installation.
