"I have always believed there are no boundaries", says Josie Cruz Natori, founder and CEO of The Natori Company. Having grown up in the Philippines, she credits her entrepreneurial nature to the matriarchal society and the support of her close-knit family.

After moving to New York at the age of 17, Natori studied economics, eventually becoming the first female Vice President of investment banking at Merrill Lynch. Always looking for a new challenge, in 1977, Natori decided to start her own lingerie company. More than three decades later, the company has grown into a lifestyle brand that includes 4 lingerie collections (Josie Natori, Natori, Josie and N Natori), the Josie Natori ready-to-wear collection, home, fragrance and eyewear.

The Natori Eyewear collection captures Natori’s design philosophies. The Iconic collection brings together an East meets West sophistication and simplicity. Timeless tortoise, animal prints and geometrics that are destined to become the new icons of the modern eyewear wardrobe. The Indulgent collection includes embellishments such as Swarovski® crystals and mother-of-pearl inlay, proving that luxury is a necessity. Style that can take a woman from morning through midnight is the core of the Modern collection. Eyewear that features innovative textures and intriguing juxtapositions of materials are the essence of this new versatility.

"Natori is a total concept, a way of life," says Natori. "As we say here, Natori is ‘where life meets art’."
