    Who purchased the Bobbi Brown license

    Our rep called today and Safilo is losing the license for Bobbi Brown, so they're coming to get all our frames. Anyone know who's picking it up? ***please don't say Luxottica, please don't say Luxottica, for the love of God, please don't say Luxottica***

    Anyone have any suggestions for other good quality, recognizable brand names from other companies besides Safilo and Luxottica?

    In 1991, she and a chemist made a revolution, they released a line of new lipsticks (10 lipsticks on beige pigment) under the brand Bobbi Brown Essentials, which debuted at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City. The success of her makeup line led Estée Lauder to buy the company in 1995.
