Iconic bold gold, hip-hop heritage.
About CAZAL
Founded in Germany in 1975 by designer Cari Zalloni and business partner Günter Böttcher — the name is a portmanteau of Zalloni's own name. Known for bold acetate and metal frames finished with heavy gold-tone hardware. Its 607 model became the signature frame of Darryl "DMC" McDaniels of Run-DMC, cementing CAZAL as a defining accessory of 1980s hip-hop style.
