Having first accessed cult-level status in the 80s, Cazal eyewear is the passion project of visionary and designer Cari Zalloni. The brand name itself is a portmanteau of the founder’s first and last names.

Not only did Zalloni revolutionize eyewear design, he also created trends in the 80s that were way ahead of their time—and the extraordinary styles still remain in vogue. The larger-than-life designs have continued to welcome polarizing opinions while offering design-forward, truly statement-making sunglasses for his fans.

Cazal sunglasses took the 80s hip-hop world by storm, designs from that era still remain trendy today. The nickname “Cazzy” has been bestowed upon the brand by its most beloved fans. While the genius behind Cazal passed away in 2012, the team behind the brand continues to thrive by creating collections that immortalize Cari’s spirit.

There are so many eyesight myths that we hear as kids: “Don’t sit too close to the television. You’ll go blind!”… “Turn on the light when you read. If you don’t, you’ll go blind!”… “Don’t cross your eyes, they’ll stay that way and you’ll go blind!”
