Cazal – The Excellence of Cari Zalloni

When passion for a product is reflected in the design, there is no-one like Cari Zalloni, whose eyewear designs became a cult in the 80s. He was a visionary who revolutionised eyewear design and created trends that were way ahead of their time, second to none. He crafted an extraordinary style that polarised opinions and has cast a spell over his fans to this day.

Cazal defined the typical hip-hop look of the 80s like no other brand. Some of the legendary designs from that era are still trendsetting even now. Eyewear lovingly nicknamed “Cazzy” by its fans.

The creative genius of the charismatic designer Cari Zalloni carries on, even after his sudden death in 2012. Inspired by him, his design team will continue to create a collection that sets standards and immortalises his spirit.

Cazal – Vintage Legendary

Cazal sunglasses announce the release of a limited edition style as a tribute to the late, legendary Cazal chief designer, Cari Zalloni.

Cazal Vintage 650 Legendary

“The CAZAL 650 has not only one but two origins. Though introduced as early as the late 1970s, this style reached full iconic status in 1984 – and has maintained it ever since.

CAZAL wanted to create a corrective eyeglasses frame made of 10-mm-strong acetate. Only very few manufacturers at the time dared use that material. Its strength allowed the designer to cut many surface facets to create an exhilarating play of light and reflection. Black, Havana, and Crystal are the preferred colours – with some transparent Smoke Grey thrown in.

This extraordinarily solid style called for a metallic counterpart, which appears as temple lining in shining and matte gold. 

The CAZAL 650 or “cazzy”, as Americans lovingly call it, remains to this day the most popular CAZAL style of all times.”
