We are CATTU. We are Maranhão. We are native Brazil. The original Brazil.
And when we talk about what is truly Brazilian, we talk about Indigenous peoples. In our homeland, we are surrounded by the Tentehar (Guajajara and Canela). Their culture, beliefs, and traditions are our inspiration.
Starting with our name, which comes from the Indigenous word k'atu, meaning beautiful, good, and essential.
Our specs are handmades in Brazil, sculpted by Brazilian artisans from cellulose fiber of plant origin—acetate. Our organic lenses meet international certification standards, providing maximum UV protection and scratch-resistant technology.
We reject the superfluous and the artificial—just like the Indigenous peoples. We value authenticity, honesty, and the simple, natural beauty of things. We are the expression of Indigenous ancestry, brought into the present with a vision for the future.
We are CATTU. A brand that celebrates Brazil in its purest essence. Truly Brazilian.
