Cazal Eyewear
Cazal is a luxury sunglass designer based in Germany which manufactures the Legends line of sunglasses, created by Austrian designer Cari Zalloni.[1]
History
Cari Zalloni founded Cazal in 1975 with his business partner Günter Böttcher. Zalloni wanted to make sunglasses with mismatched lenses, a design detail that recently became popular at Virgil Abloh’s Spring/Summer 2021 show for Louis Vuitton. Reportedly, the sunglasses are worn by Hussein bin Talal, the former King of Jordan, and Hosni Mubara, the former president of Egypt.[1] Cazal sunglasses have been especially popular among hip hop artists, including Run DMC[2] and Rick Ross. Rick Ross has a facial tattoo of the Cazal logo.[3]
In 1985, the a Philly rap group named the Cazal Boys made a song called “Snatchin Cazals.”[1] The company introduced more frames in 2015.[4]
