SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH TRANSPARANCY
WHOLESALE / PRIVATE LABEL
With our expert fashion knowledge and our technical expertise, we can make your designs reality within the price range you set, making Icon Eyewear your ideal Private Label partner.
Throughout the season we keep inventory on the newest and bestselling frames, enabling clients to replenish from stock quickly when demand is high. All frames we produce are tested in house against the latest global quality directives (EU/US/AUS).
We endeavour to keep our Company transparent. Our local inspection teams are securing sustainable production, adhering to the latest environmental laws and labour directives; from sourcing raw materials to the final packaging and shipping/delivery. Rather than wave with 3rd party numerous certificates and audits and hide behind them, we invite our clients to check “on site” that we follow and meet their demands and share the findings/improvement advice and solutions with all.
We welcome you to become part of the Icon Eyewear family.
PRODUCTS
Our original molds and Eyewear Frames and lenses are produced in China. We cooperate in a longstanding relationship with a Trading Company in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, which transfers all our production orders to carefully selected manufacturers.
In this way we can set up and control the entire production process from start (sourcing of raw materials) to finish (shipping to NL):
ESG-CRITERIA (ENVIRONMENT, SOCIAL, GOVERNANCE)
GRS-Global Recycling Standard
On all new production going forward from 1-1-2022, we have our partners fully committed to and audited for the GRS. This means that from date mentioned our products are produced using maximum levels of recycled material, without affecting the output quality.
RPET- 100% recycled PET
(our microfiber pouch & cleaning cloth)
RPCTG (50% of our new PC frames)
Recycled from transparent bottles, caps & post-consumer plastics. Bio-based Acetate.
TC- transaction certificate
All steps in the production process are registered in a log. From product content to who is contributing to what, is completely transparent and retraceable.
Since the 1st of January 2022 we have also partnered with leading PRO company LEKO (ID FR238388_01SNAO) within the frameworks of new EPR legislation being implemented. As such we continue to make our commitment and contribution to the prevention and management of waste even more tangible. With the help of our partners we take significant degree of responsibility for the environmental impacts of our products throughout the product life-cycle.
Free return of product to ensure 100% recycling
Free return form for used frames / pouches for recycling purposes, against receipt of 10% deposit on a new purchase.
FINAL RESULT
The production of glasses consists of 80% manual work: from continuous manual control of what is produced by machine to the assembly of the glasses and their final packaging. We take samples from each production run and test them in our own lab. As an extra check, we send random samples to an independent laboratory. They test the glasses against the current European quality standard.
The above of course has its price. Only if we want to pay a fair price to the manufacturer can we expect a product that meets our requirements.
And if we did not check everything ourselves, it is just possible that we would be cheaper for “the same” glasses.
“When you see it you understand it” and vice versa of course.
We therefore also ask you a fair price.
You also need to know that we try to be a transparent brand. Do you have questions, comments or suggestions? Would you like to visit our office, warehouse or our colleagues in China or visit a factory in China yourself? Let us know!
E-mailing rather than calling, but you can do both.
