LVMH Group has acquired a minority stake in German eyewear manufacturer Mykita through its eyewear division, Thélios, further expanding its influence in the eyewear market. The specific details of the transaction have not been disclosed. According to a joint statement from both companies, Mykita will remain fully independent in its operations, strategy, and creative processes.
