Cazal 856' series



These would have to be arguably the nicest, freshest looking shades I have ever seen. For those that don't know Cazal sunglasses epitomised the 80's street look particularly in the United States. Created by Cari Zalloni (CAri ZAL-loni) an Austrian spectacle maker, in the age of bucket Kangol hats, full piece suits and thick gold chains, if you wore any type of glasses frames you were wearing Cazal's.

These vintage 856's are near impossible to find, I have been looking everywhere, but to no avail. Their just as fresh older brother, the 858's are going for about 1000euro last time I checked- I can dream right?

Just a tip if you plan on buying Cazal's. To ensure they are the real deal, all Cazal's have a reference number on one side and on the opposite frame it should say "made in W.Germany", Zalloni's stamp of authentication.

(Editors note: this is a pair in RocknRolla)
