Electric Capri Sunglasses

A Bold Cat-Eye Built for the Coast
The Electric Capri is a large-framed chunky cat-eye with extra coverage and undeniable presence. Inspired by coastal living and rooted in Southern California surf and active-lifestyle culture, it is designed to perform as well as it looks. The Capri is crafted from hand-polished M49 Bio-Acetate produced by Mazzucchelli, one of the most respected material houses in Italian eyewear, giving the frame its deep gloss and precise structure.
Designed in California and made in Italy, every Capri carries a Lifetime Warranty from Electric.
Melanin-Infused Optics
The Capri uses melanin-infused polycarbonate lenses, a technology that mimics the eye's own natural defense against light. These lenses block 100% of UV radiation and 98% of harmful high-energy visible (HEV) blue light, while delivering eye relaxation and accurate color perception throughout the day. A 4-base lens curvature keeps the lens close to the face for wider peripheral coverage, and premium scratch resistance plus impact protection make the optic durable enough for everyday coastal use.
Italian Construction Details
Electric's construction specifications on the Capri go beyond the frame material. Key details include:
- Optical-grade 5-barrel stainless steel hinge for long-term strength
- Teflon-coated hinge screws that resist loosening over time
- Custom heat-tempered wire temple inserts for precise fit and added structural rigidity
These are working parts, not decorative, and they give the frame a secure, stable wear that holds up through active days on and off the water.
Sustainable Materials and What's Included
The M49 Bio-Acetate frame material is produced by Mazzucchelli using a bio-based plasticizer in place of conventional petroleum-derived alternatives, reducing the environmental footprint of the frame without compromising durability or clarity. Each pair ships with a custom Electric hard case and a Repreve microfiber cleaning cloth made from recycled plastics, keeping the lens care solution consistent with the brand's sustainability ethos.
