California Accessories has a long history of providing great products and excellent service to its many customers in the United States and beyond. We began over 70 years ago as California Optical Leather. The focus of the company was on designing and manufacturing eyeglass cases, primarily those that retailers or practitioners give away when they dispense a pair of eyewear.In the 1990’s the company was renamed California Optical. During this period, the company diversified its product lines--still focused on the optical industry--with a wider, more comprehensive line of optical accessories. By the early 2000’s, they had segued our products into categories that were not only optically related. Small mini-bags, clutches, jewelry cases and cosmetic cases meant that they needed a new name. California Accessories was born, and the fashion and design focus of the company was intensified. In 2008, the company opened a subsidiary in Hong Kong, SAR, called California Accessories Asia LTD. This new division is responsible for expediting product development lead-time and for maintaining their strict quality standards for all of their products produced in Asia.
