Vontélle Eyewear is working on a children’s eyewear line centered around Nickelodeon characters.

The deal with ViacomCBS Consumer Products will see the Black-woman-owned luxury eyewear brand rolling out three to four new frames a year based on characters from Nickelodeon shows, including Baby Shark’s Big Show!, PAW Patrol, SpongeBob SquarePants, Rugrats and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The line will be available beginning this December.

Vontélle was founded by Tracy Vontélle Green and Nancey Harris, both women of color and very highly accomplished, to satisfy the demand for better-fitting vibrant, fashion-forward eyewear. Each of their products and accessories is designed and handcrafted to pay homage to their African ancestry with traditional colors and patterns that channel their African, Caribbean, and Latin heritage. Their patterns use many textiles and designs from highly identifiable, recognizable, and respected materials like mud cloth and kente cloth. These designs are tailored to empower humanity to see the world through a cultural and global lens.

Vontélle Eyewear is Born 

In 2019, both Nancey Harris and her friend Tracy Green lost their eyeglasses. After they finished kicking themselves for losing expensive designer frames, they committed to buying from a Black-owned business to replace them. The challenge was that Black eyewear designers were few and far between. Not only were there very few African American eyewear designers, but they weren’t seeing designs and prints that stood out or excited them. Then and there the two ladies decided they would create their own eyewear company: Vontélle Eyewear. 

High-quality and ethnicity-influenced frames hold the future of the eyewear industry. Tracy V. Green & Nancey Harris, Co-Founders of Vontélle Eyewear have achieved success in just one year and are flourishing high with their brand.  Having a firm belief in the old adage, “Create Your Vision, You’re in Charge of Your Life,” they both have savored success with their unique success mantras. For Tracy, Success lies in every accomplishment, you set a goal and you take the steps to do it. Recognizing daily wins and celebrating them is vital. It is the journey that’s the most rewarding part of success. For Nancey, Success is meant to be if you put in the time and hard work. Just remain focused to stay on the course and building your legacy. True happiness comes from watching all dreams come true; especially when you build them from scratch.
