Kate Spade’s menswear line Jack Spade is to make its first foray into eyewear after entering

into a licensing agreement with eyewear company Safilo Group. The five-year deal will see Safilo designing, producing and distributing a line of Jack Spade sunglasses and optical glasses throughout North America until December 31, 2018.

"We are extremely pleased to expand this very successful longstanding partnership that has excellent growth expectations. Jack Spade creates new opportunities to enhance the male segment of our portfolio that has tremendous potential, with a stylish yet timeless, functional brand that has a sense of fun,” said Luisa Delgado, CEO of Safilo Group.

The Jack Spade men's sunglasses collection will be available in top-tier department stores, specialty retailers such as Solstice Sunglasses owned by Safilo Group, and Jack Spade retail stores across the US and Canada from February 2014, followed by the roll-out of the Jack Spade men's optical collection which will be available at select optical retailers throughout North America starting April 2014.

"Both Jack Spade and Safilo share a deep passion for design, quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. Jack Spade's entrance into the eyewear category with such a regarded industry partner is a natural progression of our existing Kate Spade New York eyewear assortment," added Craig Leavitt, CEO of Kate Spade LLC. "We are confident that our customers will appreciate the design and quality of the both Kate Spade New York and Jack Spade eyewear collections."

Additionally, Kate Spade New York has extended its international licensing agreement with Safilo Group for another three years.
