Vintage Cazal 901 Targa Aviator Sunglasses W Germany Case Spare Lenses Silver

About this item

A genuine vintage Cazal 901 from the "TARGA design" series, the large teardrop aviator that defined 1980s Cazal metal frames. It comes with its original grey Cazal case, a spare pair of solid brown TARGA design lenses and the original "création Cazal" leaflet.

The frame has a silver/gunmetal-tone rim with the signature ball-stud details, a gold-tone double bar bridge with the sculpted T centre piece, a clear amber nose bridge and silver temples with black tips. It is fitted with large brown-to-clear gradient lenses. The right lens (as you look at it) carries the original white "TARGA design Cazal" print.

Markings

• Left temple: "MOD 901" and "COL" (the colour number is partly worn and not readable)
• Right temple: Cazal script logo and "Made in W. Germany"
• Lens: "TARGA design Cazal" print

Brand heritage

Cazal was founded in Germany in 1975 by designer Cari Zalloni, whose name gives the brand its name (CA-ri ZAL-loni). His sculptural, architectural frames became icons of 1980s style and street culture, and original West German Cazals are now sought-after collector pieces.
