Urband International develops original eyewear collections for optical retail chains, wholesale distributors, independent practices, and specialized optical boutiques worldwide. Built upon decades of optical craftsmanship under founder Yang Wah Kiang and precision R&D history in Japan since 2002, our wholesale program allows overseas buyers to evaluate distinct categories before requesting complete line catalogs, sample trials, or tailored assortment assortments.
Urband International is not an open-market catalog reseller or commodity distributor. Every frame in our portfolio originates from original design engineering, ergonomic testing, and ongoing commercial validation across leading optical groups such as Optikid in France and Georges & Phina in Canada.
Frame selection becomes clearer when based on documented original engineering rather than generic SKU relabelling. Frames balance weight, structural integrity, and distinct showroom character for boutique practices.
Our pediatric frames are trusted across France's premier children's optical network (Optikid), while our fashion collections provide Canadian luxury boutiques with reliable, high-retention alternatives to mass luxury brands.
New optical retail partners and regional distributors can request curated sample selections and trial assortments before committing to high-volume inventory replenishment programs.
Backed by 21 international design recognitions (including iF Design, Red Dot, SILMO d'Or, and President's Design Award), giving counter staff compelling, authentic stories to share with end consumers.
Each Urband brand addresses a dedicated wearer group, retail positioning, and structural requirement, enabling distributors to construct coherent assortments without managing disparate vendor relationships.

Urband coordinates rigorous 100% optical inspection across dimensional symmetry, hinge torque cycles, lens groove depths, and surface finishing before frames are sealed in export cartons. Documentation packages are customized according to destination port requirements across North America, the EU, UK, Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.
Urband International allows qualified optical retailers, boutique buyers, and distributors to initiate sample selections and trial assortments without rigid minimum order quantity (MOQ) restrictions. Buyers can evaluate frame fit, finishing quality, hinge mechanism performance, and commercial sell-through before planning scalable inventory replenishment.
Every shipment is supported by product-specific compliance records matching target regional standards, including CE Declaration of Conformity for medical devices and optical frames, EN ISO 12312-1 test reports for sunglasses and polarized clip-ons, REACH screening results, and structural endurance documentation.
Air freight courier shipments typically reach European and North American optical distribution hubs within 5 to 7 business days following dispatch. Ocean freight consolidated shipments require approximately 20 to 24 transit days, excluding initial custom clearance and regional haulage.
Wholesale pricing structures are evaluated based on annual procurement targets, assortment breadth across brands, packaging customization, and recurring replenishment schedules, ensuring both independent optical practices and multi-store chains maintain sound retail margins.
