PROFILE |
 |
Founded in 1978 as a prescription-eyewear subcontractor, De Rigo now makes more than 700 models of sunglasses and eyeglasses under its own brand names (Sting, Police, Lozza, and Rolling, among others). Licensed labels include Fendi, Fila eyes, Martini Racing, and, through a co-owned joint venture, Prada. Sunglasses account for most of De Rigo's income, but sales of prescription eyewear are beginning to come into focus, too. De Rigo makes its shades and specs at six manufacturing facilities; it markets them via distribution subsidiaries to more than 40,000 outlets in 80 countries. It sells its eyewear directly through Dollond & Aitchison retail outlets in the UK and GO outlets in Spain and Portugal.
