Our Story
Soul California Eyewear is inspired by the effortless, sun-soaked lifestyle of Southern California, especially the vibrant coastal spirit of San Diego, where the ocean breeze meets laid-back sophistication. In 2020, after moving to San Diego, the unique character of its beaches stood out. Each with its own vibe, energy, and story. This inspired the creation of sunglasses that capture those coastal moods and the feelings they evoke.
Inspired by the world’s most iconic surf breaks, each pair of Soul California sunglasses carries the spirit of adventure and the pulse of the ocean.
Inspiration
Each pair reflects the spirit of these iconic beach locations, crafted with attention to detail and unique materials like hand selected wood and striking abalone shell inlays. Our designs are named for the places that have shaped us, from California’s coast to distant shores where inspiration was found, like the vibrant waters of Oahu and the rugged cliffs of Uluwatu. More than eyewear, Soul California is a statement - for those who seek to live boldly, appreciate artistry, and carry a piece of the coast wherever they go.

Conservation
While we honor the ocean that fuels our creativity, we also quietly support its preservation by donating a portion of profits to leading marine conservation groups. When you wear Soul California, you join a community that values beauty, authenticity, and connection.
Soul California Eyewear is a small, independent brand rooted in San Diego. We create high-quality, thoughtfully crafted eyewear that captures the essence of coastal living.
