A fairly major partnership between JD.com and Luxottica. China's second biggest e-commerce site after Alibaba has in a press release announced a partnership agreement it has signed with the Italian eyewear group.

The partnership will enable JD.com customers to purchase a range of luxury sunglasses from the leading brands in Luxottica's portfolio, including Ray-Ban, Oakley and Vogue. Most of the products will be available through JD.com's direct sales channel, enabling Luxottica to leverage JD.com's industry-leading nationwide logistics network featuring standard same- and next-day delivery.

"We're delighted to be partnering with Luxottica, the clear global leader in luxury eyewear, to expand our offering in this market that is rapidly growing among Chinese consumers. Partnerships with leading luxury producers such as Luxottica underline the trust that our global partners have in JD.com, not only to drive sales, but also to provide consumers guaranteed authentic products and the best possible brand experience," said Lijun Xin, Vice President of JD.com.
