This move further strengthens Safilo’s position as a global leader in premium and luxury eyewear manufacturing.
The renewed agreement confirms Safilo as the exclusive manufacturing partner for Kering Eyewear’s prestigious portfolio of brands, which includes fashion powerhouses like Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, and Alexander McQueen. With this agreement, the two companies reaffirm their shared commitment to Made in Italy excellence, combining cutting-edge design, industrial innovation, and world-class craftsmanship.
This milestone plays a key role in Safilo’s ongoing transformation journey. The company reported Q1 2025 sales of €285.8 million, reflecting a 3.1% growth at current exchange rates compared to the same period in 2024. The North American market continues to show positive momentum, reinforcing the overall recovery trend that began in late 2024.
For Safilo, this renewed alliance with Kering Eyewear highlights its strategic importance in the global eyewear supply chain and reinforces its focus on the high-end and luxury segments. It also opens up new avenues for growth in a competitive, fast-evolving market where premium quality and design innovation are more important than ever.
This announcement not only secures long-term business for Safilo but also underlines the enduring demand for luxury eyewear designed and produced in Italy, an area where Safilo continues to set global standards.
