‘THE FACE WEARS THE GLASSES, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND’
‘The Black Label was founded in 2017. Our goal? To establish a brand that combines traditional craftsmanship with a contemporary style. We believe that glasses should be both functional and trendy. Focused on the present. That’s why The Black Label stands for a translation of iconic classics into contemporary design, with a great love for the face and comfort of the wearer. We call this understated luxury. The face wears the glasses and not the other way around.’
Design:
The collection is twofold. On the one hand, classic stylish simplicity, on the other, daring oversized iconic models in a highly refined look. Our mission? To create high-quality eyewear in an affordable price range. Currently, The Black Label is represented in 11 countries and our goal is to further expand the global distribution network.
We work with a young and dynamic team with an unprecedented drive. That is important to us. We listen carefully to our customers. Empathise with the entrepreneur and understand what they are about is the foundation for a great working relationship.
EXPERTISE

The Black Label integrates fashion into the design of its glasses and is recognised in various countries for its quirky playful style combined with beautiful materials and perfect fit.
