On The Seventh Day of Christmas...

On the seventh day of Christmas, PRETAVOIR gave to me:
The Cazal 002 002 Cari Zalloni Special Edition
Cazal 002 002 Cari Zalloni Special Edition Crystal and Gold Sunglasses |  Pretavoir
No eyewear brand has truly helped shape the aesthetic of a cultural generation in the same way CAZAL and their sunglasses have. CAZAL introduces their 002 Cari Zalloni, a tribute to the late designer Cari Zalloni, from whom the brand name derives.

This special edition model comes in its own presentation box with a beautiful limited edition case. The contrast between the rounded lens and rectangular titanium shell is striking and is synonymous with Zalloni's unique creations. Created using crystal acetate and gold-plated metal, the angular frame contrasts elegantly against the circular grey-gradient lenses with the CAZAL name neatly signed along the circumference. Designed as exclusive, limited-edition, piece - these sunglasses have been designed thirty years on from the original ‘958’ which has remained unchanged – as sturdy acetate eyewear, this unique model has acquired an impressive dimension.

“To have something that is a true vintage you have to have something that was a true original” – Cazal Creator Cari Zalloni

CAZAL have fast become one of the world's most beloved cult brands. With a rich history in eyewear design, no brand has defined the aesthetic of a cultural generation in the same way that CAZAL has. Their frames are popular within the hip-hop and the rap movement in the late 70s (their classic 607 frames are affectionately known as the RUN DMC glasses) and have become an instantly recognisable status symbol.

Made in Germany, their unique design aesthetic truly embodies a classic vintage aesthetic synonymous with luxury and quality. Each pair of CAZAL glasses are made up of at least 50 different pieces before being put through rigorous testing. Using only the finest material such as gold and pure titanium, CAZAL glasses are built to last. These sunglasses are not just for Christmas…

Every pair of CAZAL glasses is infused with a rich heritage of eyewear, refusing to follow the mainstream, instead embracing an ethos of extravagance and individuality at the heart of the brand. CAZAL is a brand that gets under your skin, transcending cultural barriers from music to cinema to street style, it's no wonder CAZAL counts the likes of Clint Eastwood, Elton, John, Al Pacino, Beyoncé and George Clinton among their fans.

We add these Cazal Cari Zalloni Special Editions to our Connoisseur's Collection with love, admiring each and every detail of extravagance, quality and craftsmanship. These unusual and striking sunglasses are a gift for those boldly eccentric trend setters who recognise timeless quality and design.

Au Revoir,
