It said that both brands represent a point-of-reference in the eyewear landscape, catering to a diverse consumer base that recognises the uniqueness of the eyewear collections.
“We are delighted to early renew our partnership with HUGO BOSS, a highly valued partner for Safilo, and representing an exceptional asset in our portfolio. I am glad that in just a few years we will celebrate the 20th anniversary of our partnership which began back in 2006,” Safilo Group CEO Mr Angelo Trocchia said.
