PROFILE |
 |
Marcolin has convinced even the glitterati that four eyes are better than two. The company makes designer eyewear (frames, sunglasses, and eyewear for sports) under its own Marcolin brands and licensed labels such as Dolce & Gabbana, D&G, Roberto Cavalli, Mossimo, and Chloe Lunettes. It makes more than 3 million frames per year and sells them through more than 50,000 outlets in some 70 countries. (Sales outside of Italy account for about 80% of the company's revenues.) Giovanni Marcolin Coffin started the company in 1961; his sons, CEO Cirillo and licensing manager Maurizio, now run Marcolin. The Marcolin family owns about 63% of the company.
