PHILOSOPHY:
“I create eyewear for people who want to be different and enhance their faces with artistic frames. Both the Ziggy and Jean Reno collections have multiple measurement options to accommodate people of all sizes. I frequently create one design in two sizes to accommodate different facial shapes,” says Cendrine Obadia, designer and founder of Zig Eyewear.
MARKETING:
Merchandising materials include three- and six-place displays, branded display cubes and countercards. Frames come with a case, cleaning cloth and small bag.
