KALA is well known for perfectly round glasses, a minimal aesthetic, and recreating iconic styles from the past. Our acetate frames are handmade in California with premium, raw acetate materials imported from Japan and Italy. We cut and polish each frame by hand and have been doing so in California for more than 25 years. Our metal frames are all skillfully crafted by metallurgic artisans in a luxury factory in Japan. The details in our designs are kept simple. Some of our metals have engraved filigree around the eyewire, bridge, or other areas. For the “round shape” wearers, the choices for acetate, metal, sizes and colors are the most in the eyewear industry.
