ADCL is a French eyewear company focused on designing and distributing optical and sunglass collections. Based in Montreuil, the group manages licensed brands and develops proprietary lines for the French optical market.
ADCL operates as a designer–distributor in France, structuring a portfolio that spans fashion and lifestyle brands (MAJE, Sandro, Hackett, Christian Lacroix, Schott, INVU, Ekkiu) and its own label Atelier Vendôme. The company also collaborates with international partners to serve opticians locally.
Designs vary by brand: Parisian ready‑to‑wear spirit for MAJE and Sandro, British heritage for Hackett, bold color and pattern for Christian Lacroix, and urban cues for Schott. The Ekkiu line uses Swiss‑engineered construction with environmentally‑considered acetate and Eastman Tritan lenses.
The portfolio covers optical and sun categories across fashion and premium segments: MAJE, Sandro, Schott, Hackett, Christian Lacroix, INVU, Ekkiu, plus the in‑house brand Atelier Vendôme with a jewelry‑inspired approach.
Licensed collections are developed with brand partners for the French market. Atelier Vendôme frames are produced in Vendôme, France, by Manufacture Vendôme. Ekkiu highlights material choices such as environmentally‑considered acetate and BPA‑free Eastman Tritan lenses; these sustainability notes are specific to that collection.
ADCL distributes to opticians in France through a dedicated sales network and agreements with brand owners. A partnership with Mondottica set up French distribution for Sandro, MAJE, Hackett and Christian Lacroix, while INVU and Ekkiu are managed with Swiss Eyewear Group.
ADCL positions itself in France as a designer–distributor combining recognized international fashion licenses with a locally made premium house line.

Linda Farrow doesn’t do nostalgia. With the Iconic Collection, the British house revisits its founding vocabulary — the forms that defined it in 1970 — and reengineers them for a generation that never saw the originals. This is not a reissue. It is a restatement. A Return to Origins That Refuses to Romanticise Founded in […]
There is something almost paradoxical about EssilorLuxottica’s stock market trajectory in 2026. The group continues to post sales figures most companies would envy — +11.7% at constant exchange rates in Q3 2025, +11.2% for the full year, and +10.8% again in Q1 2026. Yet over six months, its share price has erased more than 40% […]
What Paloceras built with the Pebble series, then translated into prescription eyewear with Nouvelle Fiction optical, now reaches its third chapter: a sunglasses collection that preserves the house’s sculptural grammar while turning it toward the light. Nouvelle Fiction Sun is not a spin-off. It is a continuation — on its own terms. From Optical to […]
Thirty years after their debut, Oakley Jackets are no longer just evolving. They are redefining what sports eyewear can be — and what it represents. In 1994, Oakley introduced a frame that didn’t exist before. Wraparound, bold, engineered not to please but to perform. In 2026, that same mindset expands into a broader vision: a […]
Rome, at the end of the day. Light moves across the façades, catches the acetate, then settles on a gold detail: a heart. With Dolce & Gabbana Devotion SS26 eyewear, the Italian house shapes a collection where the gaze becomes a language, and emotion takes the form of a symbol that is instantly recognizable. Here, […]
