Luxottica Group S.p.A. was an Italian eyewear company that designed, manufactured and distributed prescription frames, sunglasses and related optical products. Founded in 1961 by Leonardo Del Vecchio, the company developed from a small industrial operation into a global eyewear business serving consumers, optical professionals and retail partners.
Its portfolio included well-known brands such as Ray-Ban, Oakley, Persol, Oliver Peoples and Vogue Eyewear, along with licensed collections for a range of fashion and luxury brands. Luxottica also operated and supplied optical and sunglasses retail businesses, including LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, Pearle Vision and Target Optical, giving it a presence across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and other international markets.
In 2018, Luxottica combined with French ophthalmic optics company Essilor to create EssilorLuxottica. The combined group is led by Francesco Milleri as chairman and chief executive officer and continues to integrate Luxottica’s eyewear brands, manufacturing capabilities and retail operations with Essilor’s lens and vision-care businesses.
