Safilo Brings a New Perspective on Eyewear to the Philippines

Safilo, an Italian brand eyewear since 1934, makes its way to the Philippines as it launches its line last October 11, 2018 at the Manila House Private Club in Taguig.

The brand is known for its finesse line of eyewear promising fit, finish and comfort that is built to last. This year, Safilo is establishing its presence in the Philippines in an effort to expand their global mark in the industry through its official distributor, Ark Trends Inc., for the Filipinos to get the look that matches their personal styles.

Safilo has brought world class and luxurious eyewear labels including its statement brand, Carrera, alongside Jimmy Choo, Fendi, Hugo Boss, Max Mara, and Dior to feed the Filipino's classic taste.
