Black owned eyewear company signs deal with Nickleodeon
Hey there, have you heard of Vontélle? It’s the first Black women-owned eyewear company to have partnered with Paramount and Nickelodeon! Nancey Harris and Tracy Green, the founders of Vontélle, have accomplished so much in the business world and were even featured on The Kelly Clarkson Show.
Their licensing deal with Paramount and Nickelodeon allows them to create stylish eyewear products for kids using popular characters like SpongeBob SquarePants, Baby Shark, and Rugrats. As Nancey puts it, “We are proud to be the first African-American women-owned eyewear company to have such a deal.”
But that’s not all Vontélle is about. The company is committed to celebrating the African diaspora through their eyewear designs. Tracy explains, “Vontélle was founded to satisfy the demand for better-fitting vibrant, luxury eyewear designed and handcrafted to pay homage to the African, Caribbean, and Latin diaspora.”
Their most popular design is the Rwanda Wayfarers, a beautiful textile print that looks amazing on any skin tone. “The versatile rectangular silhouette adds a sophisticated, professional look,” adds Nancey.
Despite launching during the pandemic, Vontélle has been able to thrive with more people looking to eyewear as a way to show off their personality during virtual meetings. And with over one billion people worldwide in need of eyeglasses, Vontélle is excited to enter the industry with their handcrafted ethnic designs.
“We are getting into the industry at the right time with our handcrafted ethnic designs,” say the founders. And the partnership with Paramount is just the latest exciting piece of news.
