NEW YORK–Marchon Eyewear, Inc. and Linda Farrow today announced that they have entered into a long-term exclusive agreement for the distribution of Linda Farrow sun and optical eyewear throughout North America, including Canada and the Cayman Islands. This agreement leverages the scale and expertise of Marchon Eyewear’s U.S. distribution network, which enables the company and its partners to identify and target an audience reflecting the brand’s equity and DNA, Marchon said.

The sun and optical frames are conceived in London and handcrafted by master engineers in Japan. Headquartered in London, Linda Farrow currently has boutiques in the U.K., Uruguay, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Shanghai and is stocked in more than 1,000 doors in countries worldwide.
