Marquee Brands and Laura Ashley Partner with Kasperek Optical to Launch Eco-Conscious RXable Sunwear Collection

Legacy home, fashion and lifestyle brand celebrated for its romantic English aesthetic, Laura Ashley and Kasperek Optical, a family-owned and operated optical distributor and manufacturer, are set to launch a limited edition RXable sunwear collection in February 2025. This is one of the first exciting initiatives under Marquee Brands,  the global brand accelerator and owner of 17 world-renowned brands, who acquired Laura Ashley in January 2025.

The eco-conscious sunwear collection will feature six styles in multiple colorways, each equipped with premium Zeiss biodegradable lenses. The limited-edition collection is designed with the highest quality materials, ensuring flattering eyewear that elevates style and functionality and reflects a sense of heritage, style, and quality.

Drawing inspiration from Laura Ashley’s rich design heritage, the sunwear line showcases modern shapes crafted from premium recycled acetate and lightweight, durable titanium that include tortoise shells and subtle hues interpreted from Laura Ashley’s iconic colour palette.

“Kasperek Optical is an industry leader and the perfect partner for Laura Ashley eyewear and sunwear,” says Marquee Brands Chief Marketing Officer Natasha Fishman. “This collection beautifully marries the brand’s timeless style with Kasperek’s excellent craftsmanship. We are thrilled to offer Laura Ashley’s unique designs with the highest standard of quality and comfort.” 

“We are beyond excited to collaborate with Laura Ashley on a brand-new sunwear collection,” adds Justin Kasperek, President of Kasperek Optical.

The collection will be available at Independent Eye Doctor offices. If you are interested in the Laura Ashley eyewear collection or becoming a distributor, please contact Kasperek Optical at 1-800-288-2700 or by emailing info@k-frames.com.
