Italian eyewear maker Marcolin signed an exclusive multi-year licensing agreement with Abercrombie & Fitch to produce and distribute sunglasses and optical frames for the US fashion retailer, the two companies said in a joint statement on Monday.

Spring and summer collections – for the Abercrombie, abercrombie Kids and Hollister brands – will be launched in early 2025 and will be available worldwide in selected stores, they added.

“The deal will support our growth and strengthen our presence in the lifestyle segment for younger customers, in line with our long-term strategy,’ Fabrizio Curci, CEO & General Manager of Marcolin, said in the statement.
