Cazal Sunglasses c 1970s - 1990s

Vintage Designer Sunglasses only sells authentic vintage Cazal sunglasses for men and women produced in the 1980's and 1990's - no fakes, reproductions, or retro style sunglasses. Cazal sunglasses can be characterized as design with an attitude, an aggressive styling that encompasses unique detailing and unparalleled craftsmanship. Cazal founder Cari Zalloni was quoted as saying that "a designer eyewear line that pleases everyone is unlikely to inspire. Cazal sunglasses are popular with those who seek originality and aren't afraid to make a fashion statement that is quite distinctive and will inevitably get noticed. Cazal sunglasses often couple exotic colors, patterns, and shapes with 24k gold plating and high performance optical lenses. In fact, Cazal frames use 3 layers of 24k gold plating - adhering gold, dense gold, and coloring gold - is applied to Monel, an extremely strong metal alloy consisting mainly of nickel and silver. The layering process also includes the application of the costly and non-allergenic Palladium. Cazal uses china lacquers for color, a more expensive and challenging technique than enameling. Colors can be applied to the frame handpained with brush and sponge, injected with a needle, sprayed with an airbrush, and multi-colored foil decoration wherein the color pigments of a foil are transferred to a frame previously treated with lacquer. All cazal sunglass finishes are "electro-coated", a varnishing procedure that produces a consistent and long lasting finish, and each frame is then polished for final delivery.
