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.
