Metzler is joined by Mandarina

Bolton-based Mikah eyewear has become the official distributor of the Metzler, Reebok, Marc O'Polo and Longines collections.

The brands will join Mikah's other designer brands, Blumarine, Mandarina Duck and Jill Stuart, which are due to be launched in the UK and Ireland shortly.

Mikah Eyewear's managing director Geoff Thomas said: 'We are extremely pleased to have entered into a distribution agreement for these high profile brands which, added to Mandarina Duck (pictured), Blumarine and Jill Stuart, will give us a very comprehensive designer frame portfolio.

'The Metzler Collection is very well known in the UK and Ireland and Reebok is one of the largest sports brands in the world.'

Mandarina Duck takes its name from the designer leather goods company whose products can be found in Harrods, Selfridges, Fenwicks and House of Fraser. Thomas added that the frame and sunglass collections followed the innovative design themes.

The fashionable Blumarine womanswear line is sold through House of Fraser and other high quality designer clothing stores. 'The elegant styles in this new collection reflect the spirit of the brand,' he said.

Jill Stuart is a New York fashion designer, whose frame collection is launched in the UK for the first time. 'Jill Stuart's clothing designs are known for the clever use of fabrics that are very feminine and practical. The frame collection also mirrors this with beautiful colouring and contemporary eyeshapes,' said Thomas.
