Mondottica and WestGroupe Announce Partnership to Bring AllSaints Eyewear to North America

WestGroupe ALLSAINTS eyewear partnership

Mondottica and WestGroupe announce their partnership to introduce AllSaints Eyewear to the North American market. Under this strategic collaboration, Mondottica will leverage its expertise in design and production, while WestGroupe will utilize its extensive network and market insights to expand the reach of AllSaints Eyewear, the first eyewear licence from the British brand known for emphasizing individuality and authenticity.

AllSaints, a global fashion phenomenon, is celebrated for its directional womenswear and menswear with an independent, rock’n’roll spirit. A catalyst for cool, the stunning inaugural optical collection features 18 bold gender-neutral styles with details such as eco-conscious Acetate Renew*, bespoke branded hinges, stylish beveling, and the finest metal detailing. To reinforce the brand’s DNA, hexagon bolt-shaped studs on the temples and hinges as well as custom integrated end-pieces are adorned with the AllSaints logo plaque in the brand’s classic distressed metal finish.

“We are thrilled to partner with Mondottica and to add AllSaints to the WestGroupe brand portfolio. The brand’s DNA and its edgy, unique aesthetic will complement rather than compete with our current brands, providing our customers with a fresh, cutting-edge fashion brand.” President Michael Suliteanu added, “The addition of AllSaints Eyewear underscores our dedication to offering diverse and high-quality eyewear options to the North American market. We look forward to the success that this partnership will bring.”

Beverly Suliteanu, VP of Product Development, WestGroupe



“We are thrilled to partner with WestGroupe to bring AllSaints Eyewear to North America. With our shared commitment to quality and innovation, we are confident that this collaboration will drive growth and success.”

Tony Pessok, CEO, Mondottica

The debut of AllSaints Eyewear in Canada is set for Summer 2024, followed by the anticipated USA launch in Q1 2025.

*About Acetate Renew

Eastman Acetate Renew incorporates significant amounts of certified recycled content from eyewear production scrap and results in a significant reduction in greenhouse gases compared to the traditional manufacturing process. Having approximately 40% certified recycled content and 60% bio-based content, Acetate Renew reduces greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel usage compared to traditional acetate. Typically, 80% of the material used in sheet acetate frame production is scrap. Instead of being landfilled, the scrap will now be returned to Eastman and recycled by Eastman into new material, creating a circular production process. Unlike other sustainable alternatives, Acetate Renew is indistinguishable from classic acetate, assuring wearers of the high quality and premium styles they expect.

Nikon Optical Celebrates 35 Years in Canada – The First Laboratory Outside of Japan

Nikon Optical Canada 35 year anniversary

In 1989, Nikon Optical decided to expand its global network by setting up its first laboratory outside of Japan in Montreal, Canada.

From photography to optical lenses, Nikon has developed an expertise in high-precision optics. It all started in 1917 when two leading optical manufacturers merged with capital investment from Koyata Iwasaki, the President of Mitsubishi, to form a fully integrated company called Nippon Kogaku K.K. It was in 1946 that the first Nikon Eyeglass lens “Pointal” was marketed to consumer and since then has been the leading innovator in the ophthalmic industry with breakthroughs in material, design, and coatings.

Today, Nikon Optical Canada employs 200 employees with laboratories across Canada and produces some 2,000 lenses every day. The Nikon Optical Design Engine calculates and optimizes the optical formula of each lens surface; in fact, Nikon estimates the number of design possibilities to be at 93,000,000,000,000,000,000.

Combining the reputation of its Japanese heritage and the expertise of Nikon’s Canadian laboratories, which consists of specialized technicians, quality managers, opticians and customer experience partners, Nikon lenses guarantee each patient a high-precision, perfectly customized product.

To experience The Nikon Difference, contact a Nikon Business Development Partner at 1-800-663-8654 or visit www.nikonlenswear.ca to learn more about Nikon lenses and coatings.

This year, Nikon Optical Canada celebrates 35 years of expertise enabling Canadians to see with precision and experience their finest moments.

Doyle Optometrists & Opticians has acquired Clinique Visuelle Voir, an optical store that has been established in Magog since 1990. This is Doyle Group’s 24th store.

As part of the acquisition, optometrist Dr. Jacob Dorais will become co-owner, working with an experienced and dedicated team. The store will be completely renovated in the fall to integrate the well-established Doyle brand concept and enhance the experience of both customers and employees.

Doyle has been present in the Eastern Townships, and more specifically in Cowansville, for nearly 40 years, and this new addition will enable the Group to strengthen its presence in the area and reach a potential customer base that has been growing steadily over the past few years.

Groupe Doyle Optométristes et Opticiens Magog boutique
New concept out in the Fall of 2024

“We are delighted to be able to continue our growth in the Magog area, while remaining loyal to our business model, making room for local co-owners, like optometrist Dr. Jacob Dorais. This approach provides a perfect mix of autonomy and support for our associates, who are highly involved in their stores, while benefiting from invaluable expertise and support from head office.”

Patrick Doyle, president, Doyle Optometrists & Opticians

This addition is also part of a well-thought-out strategy of combining expansion by acquisition and organic expansion, piloted by both Patrick Doyle and Dr. Karl Brousseau, vice-president and optometrist. After the Magog acquisition, Doyle will open its 25th store in Mirabel on June 17 and move the Blainville store (Fontainebleau district) to more spacious premises in July, in order to add a second exam room and expand the sales area.
