Jono Hennessy Group has broadened its horizons beyond the design, manufacture and distribution of its own eyewear, to represent select international brands as well.
Under the umbrella Stars of Independents, Jono Henessy Group now represents the Belgian brand Louis Belgium, German brand Adrian Marwitz, French brand Simple Eyewear and the Spanish brand Kaleos Eyehunters. This is in addition to its own Australian eyewear brands Jono Hennessy, Carter Bond and Zeffer.
In a statement, Jonathan Sceats, founder of the group said, “As we exhibit around the world, we have been fortunate enough to meet other like-minded independent optical designers who passionately believe in the frames they are producing.
“As we have our fantastic infrastructure well established in Australia, we decided to offer exclusive distribution to a select few European independent designers that we believe are some of the best new true independents in optical design.
“We have called our group – to include independent designers and independent practices – the Stars of Independents.”
Stars of Independents will be launched at Silmo Sydney from 9 –11 March 2017.
