Glimpses territory and to Made in Italy production. KINGDOM EYEWEAR ADDS CASANOVA Adding to Davette’s Lunettes eyewear creations, Kingdom Eyewear has completed the acquisition of Casanova Occhiali brands, including the trademarks, products, intellectual properties and distribution of Taxi, Dolce Vita and Casanova Venezia eyewear. For clients in the USA and Canada, Casanova will have its official east coast launch party in conjunction Vision Expo East in 2020. Offering a limited supply of the contemporary Casanova product lines and discovery of a treasure trove of many iconic limited edition pieces, Davette and Stephen Fournier, creative designer and owners of Davette’s Lunettes, will be focused on the re-launch and the production of additional new releases for all three brands (Casanova, Taxi, Dolce Vita). “We have uncovered a treasure trove of many of the much sought after collectible pieces of Casanova, Taxi and Dolce Vita, which will be offered for sale, but they are very limited. Many of these artisan eyewear creations were thought to have been sold out forever. The keen interest in collecting these pieces today has remarkably increased their values on the aftermarket in recent years. It is quite exciting to see eyewear enthusiasts collecting our products much like a coveted luxury wrist watch, with such passion driven consumers,” stated Stephen Fournier.
