Industrial Artistry and 80s Hip-Hop Heritage

The Cazal 226 is an iconic full-rim frame that pays homage to the bold, urban-inspired designs popularized during the golden era of 80s hip-hop. Engineered with a specialized metal alloy chassis and intricate bridge detailing, these frames serve as a bridge between vintage nostalgia and modern high-fashion engineering.

Material & Craftsmanship

• Monel Metal Chassis: Crafted from a high-performance Monel base (copper and nickel), ensuring the frame is corrosion-resistant, structurally stable, and highly adjustable for a personalized fit.

• Jewelry-Grade Plating: The frame is finished with authentic gold or silver plating, depending on the colorway, and sealed with a protective lacquer to maintain its high-luster finish against environmental wear.

• Signature Butterfly Silhouette: Features a "step-down" geometric lens shape that creates an uplifting visual effect, providing structure to heart, oval, and triangle face shapes.

• Intricate Bridge Engineering: Utilizing a meticulously designed single-bridge architecture that offers distinct visual separation and structural rigidity at the frame’s highest tension point.

Fit & Comfort Details

• Adjustable Silicone Nose Pads: Equipped with premium medical-grade silicone pads that allow for precise height and width adjustments, ensuring a non-slip fit and optimal weight distribution.

• Reinforced Metal Temples: The slim-profile temples are designed for durability and flexibility, allowing for professional cold-bending to secure the frame behind the mastoid bone.

• Hand-Finished in Germany: Every pair undergoes rigorous quality control and hand-polishing in Germany to ensure the highest standards of optical alignment.
