Costume National Signs Eyewear License

“Costume National said Wednesday that it has inked a licensing deal for eyewear with niche Italian manufacturer Cult. The new line of sunglasses and prescription frames will bow in January 2008. Prior to the agreement, Costume National licensed its eyewear production to Italy’s Marcolin SpA. Costume National declined to provide sales forecasts. Cult, based in Padua, is a start-up company. It recently inked a licensing deal for eyewear with Thakoon.”  [DNR]
