How is the current situation of the Sunglasses market?
We hope that 2022 will be more positive for the sunglasses market. The pandemic situation should be better in Europe, and we believe that people would be allowed to travel and to fully enjoy outdoor activities everywhere. This could improve the sunnies business which was too slow this winter with most of the winter resorts closed and still many regions under lockdown..
What are the the key trends in the Sunglass segment next spring/summer 2022?
Lifestyle segment includes acetate or metal frames with ZEISS lenses.Trendy shapes (return of the cinematic squared & hexagonal styles and still thin retro cat eye shapes. Mainline segment with timeless shapes like retro round with key hole and butterfly styles. In this segment, we have added more colours combo with flash & ML lenses, metallic painting and glitter.
