Pretty, but too expensive for what they deliver. The acetate glasses are great, but the metal frames bend very easily

History
Caito Maia founded Chilli Beans in 1997 after selling sunglasses at a California flea market and later at a Brazilian trade fair. The brand transitioned from a small stand to a global franchise model. It introduced a self-service retail concept to the eyewear industry, allowing customers to handle products freely. Its cultural significance lies in democratizing fashion eyewear through frequent limited-edition collaborations with international artists and cultural icons, influencing the Brazilian retail landscape.
