Why You'll Wear These Every Day
Glare Off
Polarized UV400 lenses cut reflected light on water, sand, and pavement.
Plant-Based
Bio-acetate from renewable sources. No petroleum plastics.
Real Wood
A grain pattern no other pair repeats. Yours is one of one.
All-Day Light
Spring hinges flex with your face. Comfortable from coffee to sunset.
California Made For It
Designed in San Diego and tested under the same sun you'll wear it in.
Plant-based acetate up front. Real wood at the temples.
The acetate carries the color and the wood carries the character. No two pairs come out of the shop the same.
California light is brutal. These aren't bothered.
Sun bouncing off the ocean, the sand, and the pavement all at once. Polarized lenses keep your eyes relaxed through all of it.
Materials That Earn Their Place
Plant-Based Bio-Acetate
Made from renewable raw materials instead of petroleum. Hypoallergenic on your skin and biodegradable at end of life.
Real Wood
Hand-sanded and sealed. Light on your ears, warm to look at, and one-of-a-kind grain on every pair.
Polarized UV400 Lenses
Full UVA and UVB protection with a polarizing filter that kills reflected glare off water, sand, and pavement.
Flexible Spring Hinges
The temples flex outward and come back. They will not pinch your head, and they will not snap in your bag.
Palo Alto, CA
Every Cali Life frame is named after a California place, and the design follows the place. Palo Alto, CA inspired this one: its light, its pace, and the way people actually live there.
Wear it where it was dreamed up, or bring a piece of California wherever you are.
