Meta Reportedly Seeking Stake in Eyewear Conglomerate EssilorLuxottica

As a dedicated follower of both tech and fashion trends, I can’t help but feel excited about the potential partnership between Meta and EssilorLuxottica. The news that Meta is considering buying a 5% stake in EssilorLuxottica, which would make it a partial owner of Supreme and other brands, is intriguing to say the least.


Approximately a week ago, EssilorLuxottica, a leading company in the eyewear industry, made public its intention to acquire Supreme for approximately $1.5 billion USD. With this purchase, EssilorLuxottica will expand its brand collection, which already includes over 150 labels.

Recent news indicates that Meta is preparing to purchase a 5% share in EssilorLuxottica, thereby gaining partial ownership over brands such as Supreme, among others.
