MIAMI—Colors In Optics, Ltd. and Perry Ellis International (Nasdaq:PERY) have announced the license agreement for sunglasses, ophthalmic eyewear and eyewear accessories such as cases, chains, cloths and cleaners under the Laundry by Shelli Segal brand.

"We are very selective about the brands with which we choose to partner and we couldn't be more excited to be working with Laundry by Shelli Segal to bring the brand's sense of color and style to the sunglass and ophthalmic eyewear categories," said Sanford Hutton, president of Color In Optics, Ltd.

Vibrant, confident and chic, the Laundry by Shelli Segal collection has been shaping the way women dress since 1988, and the brand continues to inspire women today with its iconic styling and stunning detail, Perry Ellis International said. Drawing on its success as a major day and evening dress resource, the contemporary brand has become a true lifestyle brand with nearly a dozen licensed product categories as well as direct expansion into suit separates in 2014. The Laundry brand portfolio now includes eyewear in addition to fashion accessories, lingerie, outerwear, home and fragrance.

Perry Ellis International chairman and CEO, George Feldenkreis added, "We are delighted to have a licensee of the caliber of Colors In Optics, a leader in the eyewear industry, which will only enhance our continued strategy to extend the reach of our global portfolio of lifestyle brands across categories, channels and markets to drive further growth and profitability."

The new collection is expected to launch Spring 2016 in premium department stores, upscale specialty stores, eyewear specialty stores, optical shops, optician's offices and select e-commerce sites in the U.S. and Canada.
