Guess and WHP Global have signed a four-year exclusive licensing agreement with eyewear manufacturer Marcolin to design, create, and distribute a new line of rag & bone sunglasses and eyeglasses.
Founded in New York in 2002, rag & bone has earned recognition in the American fashion industry for its signature style and delivering quality apparel for both men and women. Influenced by the metropolitan lifestyle energy, rag & bone Eyewear blends fashion-forward pieces with modern everyday styles.
“We are pleased to partner with an iconic brand like rag & bone, which perfectly embodies a contemporary and authentic aesthetic rooted in New York culture,” said Fabrizio Curci, CEO and General Manager of Marcolin.
“GUESS has been working with the highly talented team from Marcolin for over 30 years on delivering fashionable trend-right eyewear to the market. We are thrilled to expand that partnership to rag & bone further growing the lifestyle of the brand through their expertise, commitment to style and innovation,” said Paul Marciano, co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Guess.
rag & bone’s new eyewear line will be available at the brand’s boutiques, select eyewear shops, and authorised retailers, and on its official website.
Last year, Guess and WHP Global completed the acquisition of rag & bone.
