The story of Etnia Barcelona began long before the brand itself. In the 1950s, Fulgencio Ramo, the grandfather of David Pellicer, founded his own eyewear workshop. His children carried on the family craftsmanship, and later David gave new life to this heritage by creating Etnia Barcelona. This continuity shaped a free, human and respectful vision, rooted in a creative family culture. Since its beginnings, the brand has brought colour to a world long dominated by black and brown, turning eyewear into a true form of personal expression.
An identity inspired by Barcelona
Etnia Barcelona draws its strength from the cultural and artistic energy of Barcelona. An open, rebellious and dreamy city, it inspires bold, colourful and distinctive frames. Here, eyewear becomes a visual language: a blend of creativity, heritage and freedom. Etnia glasses do not follow trends—they tell a story and reflect the personality of those who value authentic originality.
Premium materials designed to last
Etnia Barcelona pays special attention to material selection. Mazzucchelli natural acetate, made from cotton and wood cellulose, is preferred for its rich colours and long-lasting quality. Each frame is crafted as a true character piece: glossy black, artisanal tortoiseshell, gold accents or bold colour combinations. Every detail matters, from sturdy hinges to adjustable nose pads, ensuring stable fit and lasting comfort.
High-performance lenses for personalised comfort
For Etnia Barcelona, style always goes hand in hand with impeccable vision. The brand uses Barberini mineral lenses, renowned for their optical purity and durability. HD Colors technology enhances sharpness and intensifies primary colours, offering a bright and natural visual result. Lens tints adapt to specific needs: blue for partly sunny days, brown for improved clarity and depth perception, pink for long exposure under low-intensity sunlight, and grey—ideal for driving and outdoor activities.
If you already wear prescription glasses, you can equip your Etnia Barcelona sunglasses with corrective lenses on Visiofactory. Single-vision or progressive, they adapt to your needs to provide optimal comfort without compromising on style.
A frame for every face
Round, square, oversize, cat-eye, aviator or rectangular—Etnia Barcelona frames cover a wide range of shapes to suit every personality and morphology. Whether your face is round, square or oval, you will find a frame that subtly enhances your features.
The brand also embraces an inclusive approach. Many models are unisex, and a frame marketed for women may fit men just as well—or vice versa. At Etnia, the only rule is to choose eyewear that reflects who you are and how you see the world.
