About Burberry Eyewear
Burberry eyewear has been made by Luxottica, now EssilorLuxottica, under a licence agreement since 2006. The Burberry name belongs to the British fashion house created in England in 1856, not to the eyewear maker. EssilorLuxottica designs the frames for men and women around recognisable elements of Burberry's ready-to-wear and accessories collections, and pays the licensor royalties on the collection's sales.
