Cazal

History and legacy of Cazal glasses

Cazal Eyewear was founded by the genius Cari Zalloni, who named it after a play on his own name: Ca de Cari and Zal de Zalloni. Many collectors and/or Eyewear lovers in general consider Cazal as one of the brands that every collector wishes to own at some point.

It was born in Passau (Germany) in the 80's, at the end of the Cold War and it was a before and after in the eyewear sector for introducing extravagant designs that had not even been imagined until then and for the wide range of colors offered. In addition, of course, to the very high quality of the materials used in frames and lenses. Some of the models were (and are) coated in gold.

Cazal had a strong impact on the culture of the United States, mainly in the hip-hop world. Many of the great hip-hop artists began to use Cazal glasses and were followed by their loyal followers, even selling out limited edition models. Such is the bond between the company and hip-hop music that this year they launched a limited-edition collection to celebrate 50 years of this musical style.

In the 21st century, Cari Zalloni's legacy continues to be embodied in each Cazal Eyewear model, with unique collections that show the strong fashion inspiration and the first glasses Zalloni launched in the 1980s.

Cazal glasses: an acronym printed in different cultures

As we said, the name Cazal is an acronym of the name of its founder Cari Zalloni, who created this brand of extravagant, daring and vintage-inspired glasses to offer a new concept of sunglasses and frames. Today, both the most iconic models and the new ones still have a clear inspiration from Zalloni's early work that makes you quickly know that you are looking at Cazal glasses.

Both the name of the company and the design of the glasses represent a new language in Eyewear design. Cazal is the most faithful representation of what a successful luxury eyewear brand should be. Combining elegance with extravagance and sophisticated style with vintage flair makes Cazal sunglasses easily recognizable.

Exclusivity, luxury, and quality in every detail of Cazal eyewear

What does it mean to get Cazal eyewear? It means that you will be choosing exclusivity, luxury, and quality in every detail of your new glasses. It is these three words that have allowed Cazal Eyewear to remain at the top of this sector after the death of its founder, Cari Zalloni, in 2012.

The team that remained at the helm of the company was clear that they had to remain faithful to the legacy of the genius for Cazal to remain at the top. And they succeeded. Both in terms of design and quality, they continue to be inspired by the standards set by their founder in the 80s, which made the company a name for itself in a sector with such high and demanding competition.
