More drama than a classic ranchera.

About

Inspired by memories of midcentury midnights in Mexico City, Chavela brings la alma y la pasión. It’s an oversized frame shaped by seduction, heartbreak, tequila, and songs that only sound better the later it gets. Bold, expressive, and never trying to be subtle, Chavela shows up exactly as it is.

Very nice reader sunglasses- finally!

"Oversized sunglasses to read without a prescription- we have needed these on the market for a very long time! I love them! Very elegant. If anything; I would say that they are so well made that they are a tad heavy on the bridge of the nose. But if they were lighter, folks might complain they seemed 'cheaply made'- so hard to please all. These are a deep brown glossy finish. Yes, I would buy again."

Thanks Caddis

"I've been hoping Caddis would come out with something like this for years, perhaps not as early 80's retro as I'd like but fabulous nonetheless. Thanks!!!"

Not what I expected

"As usual, I love the look, the weight, the overall design. Unfortunately when I look through the clear portion, I see spots and sparkles when I look at any lightbulb. As an interior designer, that's a problem. I wouldn't pay for the progressive upgrade again. The portion that is magnifying is so small that I have to position my head a certain way and move it around until I find the clear spot. Other progressives I've had were much easier to use and less dizzying. I'm sad, I paid more for these glasses than ever and now I'm stuck."
