WARREN, N.J.—Mondottica USA has announced a multi-year licensing agreement for the design, production and distribution of Roxy prescription frames and prescription sunglasses in the optical channel in the U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean. This announcement follows Mondottica USA’s recent partnership with Boardriders and the upcoming summer launch of Quiksilver prescription frames and prescription sunglasses, as reported in VMAIL. As an extension of the long-term strategy of Mondottica USA, the alliance with Boardriders has brought welcomed additions of active lifestyle brands with strong consumer appeal in the U.S. and Latin America.

Roxy will launch in Spring 2023 with 18 women’s optical styles and 6 women’s polarized prescription sun styles. Youth styles will follow for the back-to-school season.
