    Redhot Jumper French luxury goods group Kering has created an in-house eyewear division ...........

    French luxury goods group Kering has created an in-house eyewear division to tighten control over its Luxury and Sport & Lifestyle brands, gradually managing all of the high profile licenses. As part of the initiative, Kering said it is to “evolve” its 20-year partnership with eyewear maker Safilo, terminating its current Gucci license agreement at the end of 2016 instead of end-2018. From January 2017, Safilo instead will handle production development, manufacturing and supply of Gucci eyewear on a new four-year contract, renewable by mutual agreement. Kering, meanwhile, will make a €90m compensation payment to Safilo in three installments between 2014-2018.

    The change over is not done. We have an account with Safilo and have done our final 'buy out' from the rep but whatever is left is still available through Safilo. The new Gucci rep is not actively repping yet, but I want to say we have already been contacted. If you already have a Gucci account I'm pretty sure they are setting up territories and such now.

    If not... call Kering?
    Have I told you today how much I hate poly?

    I will PM it to you, give me a minute.

    I went to a trunk show in DC at the Mandarin Oriental - Kerings reps were nice and their product (especially the Saint Laurent) is phenomenal.

    I am excite.
