True passion is reflected in Cari Zalloni's products, whose eyewear design went on to gain a cult following in the 1980's.

It all blew up when Spike Lee became Mars Blackmon in the Jordan Nike commercials. Cazal Eyewear is consistently stunning with its finely detailed German craftsmanship.

Vuarnet began on Boissy d’Anglas in Paris in 1957 where Roger Pouilloux had his workshops. This avant-garde optician, passionate about skiiing, would go on to revolutionize the sunglasses world by inventing an exceptional glass, able to both protect him on slopes and provide a clear vision of the relief in overcast weather.  

Pouilloux found an Olympic skier he admired and offered him a radical new lens in a tough lightweight nylon frame; and, in the next Olympics, results were obvious -- the skier's performance had been enhanced from the collaboration. Vuarnet quickly became a fashion must-have, worn by Mick Jagger and, of course, made famous by Jeff Bridges in “The Big Lebowski." 

Made the old fashioned way using slow methodical construction and time honored techniques, Vuarnet is a sunglass that stands above the crowd. Come find out why it's treasured by the masses.

Each of Matsuda's designed frames are crafted by hand in the renowned eyewear workshops of Sabae, Japan - requiring up to two years and as many as 250 steps to bring to life. This is eyewear created through 50 years of experimentation and creative exploration: each frame reflecting a unique journey from concept to construction. We never stop seeking new innovative techniques to express our ideas.  Matsuda is known for its beautiful detailing with hand-sculpted etching, inlays of enamel, and coined edges, workmanship that has mostly disappeared in the modern mass-produced eyewear of today.

Blake Kawahara brand ethos is to bring to market eyewear that is “artful yet wearable”. Each frame is hand-cast and handcrafted in order to realize the subtly nuanced details. If you look closely, you can see the design of the joints and bones in the end pieces and temples. It’s about the touch, feel, and workmanship of the frames. The designer feels eyewear should enhance your personality and not be a substitute for one. It should also feel as good in the hand as it does on your face. By using laborious production techniques and a lot of handwork, an inner silhouette is encased in an unexpectedly fresh outer shape. This seamless fusion of two frames and the juxtaposition of contrasting form and color create a design tension that is thoroughly modern yet comfortably familiar.

Daring, Comfort, and Innovation while creating eyewear that harmonizes with your personality: that is the mission of Boz frame designs. Their eyewear cultivates a distinctive style, an eclectic design, where the generosity of shapes and colors takes center stage. Invent, innovate, and surprise while giving life and vision to comfortable, sincere and beautiful frames. Our expertise in eyewear is rooted in historical know-how and contemporary investigation through the use of creative, sustainable materials. Audacity, comfort and innovation are at the heart of our work. Each model we design marks our commitment to pushing the limits.
