About CASTANEDAS
Everyday eyewear, measured with care
CASTANEDAS designs frames for ordinary days across Southern California, with a focus on clear shapes and practical construction.
Studio & craft
Built from durable acetate and custom core wire
Each frame begins with high-grade acetate, chosen for its surface depth and its ability to hold a shape through daily wear. Our custom core wire gives the temples and bridge steady, springy support, so the fit stays comfortable from morning commute to evening walk.
Every pair is also checked under bright Los Angeles daylight, where we look at lens tint, clarity, and how the frame sits on the face in natural light.
