The AgenC was started in 1993 in the sleepy, but beautiful hollow of Cape Town in South Africa by Jonathan van Blerk. In 2001 after 8 years in the South African market we broadened our horizons to Sub Saharan Africa and then in 2003 set up our main base in the hub of London in The United Kingdom and have over the last 6 years established ourselves as the premier agents to the top stores in The United Kingdom and Ireland too.
It is a very simple idea and company in that it does not work on the pretence of anything other than being “agents” to manufacturers creating glasses and sunglasses of a very high quality where they are not ethically challenged…the core criteria being that they manufacture and control all their own product, and more than anything their image and quality standards must be of the highest in the industry. These can’t simply be products, but have to be great products, created by great people, who run great companies in the best possible way.
Passion is the key to the success of The AgenC.
The current team has now increased in that Dharmen Soneji heads all the customer services and runs the office from Esher in Surrey. Dharmen has also been integral in launching The AgenC’s latest brand, Cheap Monday, from Bergen in Norway, a new exciting addition to The AgenC.
Oliver Hariani is the person to contact in relation to Paul Frank, from The OC in The USA as well as Andy Wolf from Hartberg in Austria and IDC from Marseilles in France.
Mykita from Berlin in Germany has now become one of the world’s most sort after Optical Brands and has become established as Mykita United Kingdom, Mykita Ireland and Mykita South Africa, which Jonathan van Blerk proudly looks after and has established it with the Very Best Opticians, Optical Boutiques, Fashion Stores and Boutiques to be found in The United Kingdom, Ireland and South Africa.

weird tales for everyday life
It started with a small vintage shop only kept open
on weekends. What started out as a couple of friends on
a playdate turned into a Big Bang: A success none of us
ever saw coming. Suddenly 800 pairs of jeans had
conquered the world and indie was the new black.
From the lost highway came a smiling skull and from the
obscure basements below rose the smell of silk screened
t-shirts. Mr Exclusive and Lady Avant Garde dancing the
fandango with everyday man.
It’s all about the dialectics. We always hoped to be the
snail balancing on the razors edge, the one-armed man at
One Eyed Jacks’ – A world within worlds.
We wanted to show the world that the dead can dance. And
that they do it with a smile.
We were trying to infiltrate the mainstream, seduce the
mainstream into embracing originality. But you already
know this.
It’s a world gone mad. It’s a riot. It’s weird tales for
everyday life: It’s Cheap Monday.
2000 The Weekend store opens in a suburb of Stockholm, mixing vintage t-shirts with exclusive
jeans. It is only open on weekends.
2002 The Weekday store opens in the city, widening the concept and is open seven days a week.
2004 The birth of Cheap Monday, with focus on tight, unwashed jeans and printed T-shirts.
2006 Cheap Monday goes abroad with a full scale collection.
2007 Cheap Monday is sold in 2000 Stores in 40 countries.
2008 Cheap Monday joins H&M.
2009 Introducing Cheap Monday Clairvoyant eyewear.
