NEW YORK— Eastern States Eyewear (ESE) has announced that they will begin the American distribution of the internationally acclaimed French designer brand Chantal Thomass through an agreement with France-based manufacturer Grosfilley Lunettes.

“At ESE it is our company mission to bring our customers original, thought provoking collections,” said Paul Shyer, ESE president. “Chantal Thomass, both as a designer and a brand, has always sought to push the envelope with both her products and her image. These values are apparent in her eyewear collection and we are excited to have the opportunity to bring it to America.”

First launched in 1975, Chantal Thomass is one of the world’s most sought after lingerie brands. Today the brand has product collections in eyewear, lingerie, fragrances, umbrellas, hotel design, and ceramics among others.

The collection, which includes a full range of ophthalmic styles, will premiere at the Eastern States Booth (#17019) at this year’s Vision Expo West.
