Safilo agrees Céline deal

Safilo has signed a multi-year agreement for the design and production of Céline eyewear.

The designs, which Safilo said were for sophisticated modern women, will be available from January 2012 in Céline boutiques and selected retail outlets.

'We are extremely pleased to announce a licensing agreement with a brand as exclusive as Céline. This new collaboration allows us to add one of the most desirable names in international fashion to our portfolio, while strengthening our ties with the LVMH group,' said Safilo CEO Roberto Vedovotto.
