    Luxottica and JF Rey

    A rep told me last week that Luxottica is purchasing JF Rey, that the sale will be completed by the end of the year. Can anyone verify this? Thanks.

    I've never heard off that brand and I just went and checked them out online. Do you sell a lot of them? They are pretty wild. LUX just picked up alain mikli so they are buying up the smaller high end lines to turn them to **** slowly.

    I heard a few months ago on Facebook that Rey was thinking about selling to LUX. I didn't think it had gone this far though.

    I would sell my line to LUX They could pay me an interesting sum and get the designs and whatnot. Should fit right in with the Miklis

    I would also use American materials, but I haven't been able to find them.

    We do quite well with JF Rey. We do carry some Lux lines but have an exclusive with Rey in our area and am sure that will go away with Lux
