COSTA MESA, Calif—Baumvision has announced their partnership with Komono eyewear and will be designated the U.S. sales and distribution agency for Komono’s optical and sun collections. Baumvision will start immediately on a strategic sales and distribution plan for Komono.

“I’m excited for our Komono partnership which will create new and qualitative opportunities for both us and their brand,” Shane Baum, CEO of Baumvision said. “Komono eyewear has much growth potential with their innovative ‘zeitgeisty’ designs and accessible pricing.
