Etnia Barcelona Vintage Collection - A tribute to independent culture

Since 2001 Etnia Barcelona has been designing eyewear for all tastes and cultures. Although its place of origin and inspiration is the city of Barcelona, the firm is committed to the integration and respect of all ethnicities.

This concept was born thanks to David Pellicer, who decided to turn the company into a brand committed to alternative and independent cultures. Hence, all Etnia Barcelona collections are unique and unrepeatable.

In its Vintage collection, Etnia goes back in time to recreate the summer that celebrities used to spend in Barcelona between the 30s and 60s. In the Vintage frames we will see models of classic glasses updated with touches of bold and fresh color.

If you want glasses that match your original identity, read on for the full collection! Whether they're sunglasses or prescription, we're sure you're going to love these Vintage models from Etnia Barcelona.

Get to know the technology behind Etnia Vintage glasses

Etnia Barcelona cares about creating original eyewear designs made with the best materials. Both the acetate and the lenses that Etnia uses in its frames are natural and of the highest quality. The glasses are made of Mazzuchelli acetate, recognized worldwide as sustainable, biodegradable and highly durable.

On the other hand, all Etnia Barcelona sunglasses have HD mineral lenses that intensify colors and favor outdoor vision. The color technology of their lenses adapts to the most varied environments. For example, gray lenses are suitable for driving, while blue lenses are perfect for cloudy days.

As if this were not enough, Etnia Barcelona lenses are also the most resistant. Thanks to an innovative treatment, the lenses are hydrophobic and anti-scratch. This means that your Vintage sunglasses will repel water well and will not scratch easily.

Etnia Vintage sunglasses

The sunglasses of the Etnia Vintage collection evoke the vacations of celebrities in the Emporda and Costa Brava. We will see classic frames reinvented with summery and vibrant colors, transparent frames and striking art deco details along the temples.

Let's take a look, you're going to like one more than the other!
