About this item

A striking pair of early vintage Cazal sunglasses, stamped "MOD 301". The oversized butterfly front has two large lenses that meet at a sculpted crossed (X-shaped) bridge, cut from translucent marbled acetate in coral pink and salmon with streaks of mint green. The frame is fitted with Cazal's signature flat steel temples with a stepped zig-zag profile and a rectangular cut-out, finished with dark brown temple tips. Solid grey-green lenses. The engraved "Cazal" script logo is on the temple.

Brand heritage

Cazal was founded in Germany in 1975 by designer Cari Zalloni, whose name gives the brand its name (CA-ZAL). His bold, architectural frames became design icons and later a symbol of 1980s hip-hop style. Early Cazal frames like this one, with sculptural steel temples, are sought after by collectors.
