Eye wear manufacturer and distributor Marchon Eyewear and lifestyle brand Kendra Scott have entered an exclusive, long-term licensing agreement.1 Under this partnership, Kendra Scott eye wear will be available in the United States starting in September 2025, according to a news release.
“We are thrilled to welcome Kendra Scott into our world-class portfolio of brands, a truly remarkable brand known for iconic jewelry designs, but also their philosophy and commitment to giving back,” said Thomas Burkhardt, president of Marchon Eyewear, in the release. “We are very proud to announce this partnership, and we are confident the brand’s expansion into eyewear will be a great success for many years to come.”
Marchon Eyewear is currently partnered with nearly 30 brands, including DKNY, Canada Goose, Nike, and Zeiss. Marchon Eyewear is also the first eye wear company to produce and sell frames using Eastman Acetate Renew, which is a sustainable material made with Eastman’s carbon renewal technology.2 Bio-based and certified recycled materials are used to manufacture the frames, which also reduces carbon footprint by producing less greenhouse gas emission and fossil fuel usage compared to traditional acetate. The technology also helps reduce landfill waste.2
“As we continue to expand into the lifestyle category, we’re excited to partner with Marchon Eyewear to launch the Kendra Scott eyewear collection. With their expertise in quality and an established distribution network, Marchon is the perfect partner as we venture into this new space,” said Tom Nolan, CEO of Kendra Scott, in the release.
Kendra Scott eye wear will be sold at select optical retailers, department stores, Kendra Scott retail stores, and through the Kendra Scott website.1
