Blanc & Eclare is a fashion brand producing eyewear, denim, clothing, skincare, and accessories. American singer and actress Jessica Jung launched the label in August 2014, initially naming it Blanc. "Blanc" was chosen for the name because "it's clean and crisp." "Eclare", derived from the Latin root Clara, represents "clarity and bright[ness]" and was added later.
Blanc & Eclare merchandise is sold in around sixty stores in locations such as Seoul, New York, Beijing, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Taiwan, Shanghai, Tokyo, and Vancouver. In December 2016, Blanc & Eclare opened its first U.S flagship store in the SoHo neighborhood of New York.
The brand is made up of pieces that are described to be "modern-classic featuring clean-cut silhouettes and interesting details", which reflects Jung's own fashion preferences. Jung has credited her mother for having a "huge influence" on her interest in fashion. She has also stated that she travels to different cities for her designs in order to gain inspiration from looking at different cultural styles and colors. The styles and names of each pair of sunglasses are based on international cities.
In October 2014, Blanc & Eclare began to collaborate with the charity "Help For Children", which is an organization that aims to prevent and treat child abuse. Through a design competition, Blanc & Eclare invites the public to design their own pair of sunglasses. The winning designs join the Blanc & Eclare collection, and 100% of profits from their sales go to the 'Help For Children' foundation.
In 2018, Blanc & Eclare announced a new package room collaboration with The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong that included a lounge-wear set exclusively designed for guests. The same year, Blanc & Eclare also announced a limited edition collaboration with South Korean model Irene Kim, called "Love is Good".
