HIS tory
My name is
Leo Vanweersch
and I am living in The Netherlands. I am 57
years old and already working for more than
35 years as an optician. Through the years a
lot has changed in eyewear. Fashion brands
started to sell licenses to large factories;
so that meant that in one factory multiple
brands are manufactured with the result that
through the years the own identity of many
fashion brands concerning eyewear was lost.
