High quality glasses: Cazal – Exclusive
The passion for a product in design is Cari Zalloni, whose eyewear designs became a cult in the 80s. A visionary who revolutionized eyewear design and created trends like no other, which were far ahead of their time. He created an extraordinary style that polarized and that continues to captivate his fans to this day. CAZAL shaped the typical hip hop look of the 80s like no other brand. Some of the legendary designs from this time are still setting the tone today. Glasses that were affectionately given the pet name “Cazzy” by their fans. The creative genius of charismatic designer Cari Zalloni lives on today after his unexpected death in 2012. Following his inspiration, his design team continues to create a collection that makes its mark and makes his signature immortal.
