Dr Julie Diem Le, director of specialist children's eyewear manufacturer Zoobug, was delighted to receive the Highly Commended award in the category of best new fashion and leather goods product at the Duty-Free News International (DFNI) product awards 2009.

An annual review of innovation in travel retail and duty free, the DFNI product awards honour the best new stores, products and marketing initiatives of the past 12 months.

Dr Diem Le commented: 'Quality children's eyewear is a relatively new concept in travel retail, so to get this recognition is a really positive step forward towards raising the profile of children's eyewear. Our goal is to ensure that kids and their parents have the opportunity to buy quality children's sunglasses when going on holiday.'
