Kaleos Eyewear

Brand History and Philosophy

Kaleos is a Barcelona-based independent eyewear company founded in 2013 by creative director Claudia Brotons. The brand positioned itself as a 'fashion-forward' eyewear house, treating glasses as a style accessory rather than just a medical necessity. The brand is known for its high-concept designs that blend varied shapes and colors to cater to different personalities.

Manufacturing and Ownership

While the creative design and corporate headquarters remain in Spain, the manufacturing process is global. Kaleos utilizes high-quality materials, primarily sourcing their acetate and lenses from specialized factories in Italy and assembling frames in both Italy and China to balance artisan craftsmanship with technical efficiency. The company remains an independent entity, privately owned by its original founders, allowing it to maintain its niche status in the competitive luxury eyewear market.
