Nottingham, U.K.—Mondottica has announced the renewal of three of their eyewear licenses; Ted Baker, Pepe Jeans and Christian Lacroix; as well as the establishment of Mondottica Japan KK, a new joint venture company between Mondottica and Murai Inc, which began operations in January.

The Ted Baker license runs through 2020, while Pepe Jeans and Christian Lacroix will run through 2018. They join Hackett, Anna Sui and Marimekko, with whom long term agreements continue to be in place.

"We are very pleased that these key brands remain locked in for this coming period, which we anticipate will be the biggest growth in our history,” said Michael Jardine, founder and CEO of Mondottica. “We will soon announce many new developments and it is reassuring the know that we have our key brand partners in place to anchor our future.”

Murai is a long established company in the Japanese market and a wholly owned subsidiary of Nihon Seimitsu KK [7771:JP], which trades on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Murai already distributes several key brands for Mondottica, including Yohji Yamamoto, Anna Sui and Marimekko. These already established brands will be transferred to the new venture, Mondottica Japan, to be distributed with the rest of the brands in Mondottica’s portfolio including Cacharel, Christian Lacroix, Hackett, Joules, Lulu Guinness, Pepe Jeans and Ted Baker.
