Welcome to the evolution

Built upon the firm belief that eyewear should be a true luxury belonging, instead of simply just another additional accessory, Akoni Group aims to set itself apart by a determined commitment to craftsmanship, expertise, and quality. The company was founded in 2019 by Rosario Toscano, Group CEO and Salma Rachid, Creative Director, to advance their shared values, interests, and passions.

" Our goal is to accelerate the evolution of eyewear, by melding together the best in finesse and innovation. In every area design, materials, finishes and functionality – we will always be the one pushing the envelope, to deliver the type of quality and design that our customers are searching for. "

Rosario Toscano, Co-Founder & CEO of Akoni Group
