Chris Robinson and Tom Carberry are both outstanding leaders, with the right blend of characteristics — passion for eyewear, drive, sales and customer service leadership as well as intellect to guide results, in the complexity of a growing organization that is both brands oriented and product development focused.

We are very pleased of this renewal because Kenneth Cole covers a specific position in our brand portfolio. The brand is strong in the USA, representing a reference market for Marcolin with a consistent heritage in accessories. The Marcolin Group and Kenneth Cole Productions partnership is strengthened by both organizations’ strong commitment to globalization.

We are pleased to be continuing our long standing partnership and further build upon the success of our business with Marcolin, a global leader in the eyewear category. Marcolin’s strength in the international eyewear market further supports our strategic global marketing initiatives

Montblanc is a worldwide and prestigious brand in the luxury market, consistent with the history and the attitude of ‘Atelier’ that has always distinguished our company: renewing the licensing agreement between Marcolin and Montblanc is very rewarding to us.

Marcolin has been a great partner and we are excited to announce the renewal of our co-operation. We look forward to working with them to introduce new designs and further grow our business in this important category.

To us, Made in Italy is a vital strategic asset and finalizing this investment in Longarone, the area where Marcolin’s history began, is one more reason to feel proud of it.
