LONDON—Kirk & Kirk has announced the appointment of Binocleuses as their exclusive U.S. distributor. Binocleuses, run by Melodie Annis and her team, is based in Philadelphia and also distributes the FEB31st and Matttew eyewear brands.

“Kirk & Kirk seemed like a natural fit into our portfolio,” said Annis. “Binocleuses can now offer three complementary lines that all target the high-end, independent optical retailer and Kirk & Kirk really bring something fresh and exciting to the party.”

“Karen and I have always enjoyed working with our U.S. clients and are grateful for the warm reception that we have had to our debut collections,” said Jason Kirk, director of Kirk & Kirk. “We operate a very selective distribution policy, forging close relationships with our retail partners.”

The Kirk & Kirk collection, launched in 2014, currently offers two collections, Vivarium and Kaleidoscope, targeted at independent boutiques that seek to differentiate themselves through unique collections with retail price points between $420 and $700 USD, the company said.
