Designer Etnia Glasses
The Etnia Barcelona brand was created in 2001 with the idea of being the most creative and colourful brand in the international optical industry, creating unique eyewear whose value lies in the design of its colours.
When David Pellicer founded the company at 23, he created the first colour-based collection. This represented a complete break from the colour scheme of the collections in the market, which at the time were only expressed by dark shades like black or brown.
He gradually began surrounding himself with a team of creative professionals and artists who endowed the brand with an identity that took creativity to the limit and was expressed by creativity to the limit and was expressed by a radical colour range, both in the collections and in the communication.
The stylistic freedom that absorbed the philosophy implemented in the design team seemed limitless, and the brand’s independence compared to other firms was strengthened with each collection launch, creating a world apart.
The brand’s spirit reflected a world which embraced all cultures, all races and all colours in existence and reflected the variety of people and personalities from all over the globe.
Materials and Craftsmanship
Etnia Barcelona frames are handmade using 100% natural Mazzucchelli acetate — a cotton-derived material valued for its comfort, malleability and the way it gradually adapts to the individual shape of your face — paired with Barberini mineral lenses on selected styles for added optical clarity.
Who Etnia Suits
If you want your glasses to genuinely stand out through colour and pattern rather than a subtle branding detail, this is the boldest range we stock. It suits anyone confident enough to treat their glasses as a statement accessory, and particularly appeals if you’re drawn to art and design-led pieces over classic, conservative shapes.
Lens Compatibility
Etnia frames work well with single vision, varifocal and photochromic lenses. The natural acetate construction gives good depth for varifocal lens fitting. Our team can advise on the best lens option for your chosen frame and prescription during fitting.
