Coral Eyewear to launch Umbro Glasses

We’re proud to announce a new partnership between Coral Eyewear and iconic sportswear brand Umbro. This multi-year licensing deal will bring a fresh collection of Umbro glasses to the UK optical market, featuring styles for both adults and children.

Each frame highlights Umbro’s signature double-diamond logo and is designed with a strong focus on quality and sustainability. The collection is made using Eastman Renew Acetate – a material created from recycled plastic waste that was previously difficult to recycle.

This marks the first time in recent history that Umbro will enter the UK optical market, as the brand continues expanding into new lifestyle categories following its 100-year anniversary in 2024.

Expect to see the new Umbro eyewear range launching in major UK retailers and selected independents in early 2026.

This partnership follows Coral Eyewear’s successful collaboration with Studiocanal Kids & Family, which brought to life a Paddington-themed eyewear collection for children.

Richard Hurtley, Commercial Director at Coral Eyewear said:
“We were drawn to the Umbro brand not just because of their long-standing history of delivering high-quality sports products for teams around the world, but also due to its global partnerships with influential and culturally relevant streetwear brands, demonstrating that the brand has a strong appeal on and off the pitch.”

Samuel Day, Commercial Director EMEA at Umbro said:
“Coral’s expertise, approach to sustainability, British origins, and sports essence made this a straightforward decision rooted in synergy. Umbro’s brand strength allows it to stretch beyond traditional categories and we look forward to growing this category with Coral.”

Stay tuned – more updates coming soon as we gear up for launch in 2026!
