Classics Reinvented Blackfin Pacific –The Best Of Two Worlds

With its new Pacific collection, BLACKFIN manages to unite the elegance of classical design with contemporary minimalist modernism. The collection’s titanium frames perfectly encapsulate the brand’s singular and timeless style.

The pacific ocean unites two cultures and two different worlds. The Pacific collection is an analogue for two very different interpretations of eyewear design in the 1940s. Originating in Japan, the style was adapted and developed further in California before quickly spreading across the globe. BLACKFIN has updated these classic designs, adding a more modern touch. The result is a slim frame that exudes timeless elegance. The new series perfectly embodies the technical competence and style that characterizes the Italian brand.

BLACKFIN Pacific is made from a single, 3mm thick block of titanium to ensure the frame’s long-term durability. The frame is slightly beveled despite the high tech material, which gives it a uniquely soft appearance that can’t be replicated mechanically.

BLACKFIN Pacific doesn’t use any welds, except for those needed to attach the nose pads. These are made of a very flexible and adaptive material that ensure a perfect Asian fit. Additionally, the patented Swordfish Temple Tips allow for quick and easy adjustments to the temples. That, in turn, ensures a comfortable fit for wearers with any face shape.

This innovative series includes three models, each of which offers a retro-modern interpretation of the iconic designs of this classical Japanese style. As a panto design, Pacific »Big Sur« features clean, timeless lines, while Pacific »Sierra« offers beveled edges to provide a more modern look. In contrast, Pacific »Mojave« has a rounded, square design with a more classical feel to it.

The collection’s gorgeous color options reflect its overall style with glossy and matt colors, enamel accents paired with polished metal and an aging technique that really showcases the extraordinary technical skills that BLACKFIN applies in its production processes.

The Catalan fashion label masters the art of stylishly showcasing colors and shapes.

Every industry insider knows that ETNIA BARCELONA has gained a reputation for its bold and colorful designs. The brand is known for breaking the mold of traditional eyewear by incorporating unique and playful elements into its frames. ETNIA BARCELONA’s eyeglasses are not just functional, but a form of self-expression. Their inspiration comes from art and culture, with a touch of irreverence that distinguishes it from others in the market. The frames are often combined with everyday objects in their advertising campaigns, creating a unique and playful effect that is hard to ignore.

In addition to their innovative designs, ETNIA BARCELONA is committed to using sustainable materials and ethical practices. Their frames are made of 100% natural acetate, a material that allows the brand to create exclusive colors and shades. The lenses are made of pure mineral glass from Barberini, with HD Colors Technology that enhances color perception. ETNIA BARCELONA’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond their use of natural raw materials. The brand has partnered with the ETNIA BARCELONA Foundation for social projects, which supports initiatives in education, health, and culture.

ETNIA BARCELONA’s heritage spans three generations of eyewear craftsmanship, beginning with Fulgencio Ramo in the 1950s. David Pellicer, the current owner of the company, joined in the 1990s with a vision to create something new and exciting. In 2001, ETNIA BARCELONA was born as an independent eyewear brand that embraced the values of freedom, humanity, and multiculturalism. The brand’s commitment to quality has remained unchanged, with each frame carefully crafted and inspected to meet their high standards. Just like its brainchild LOOL, ETNIA BARCELONA is one of the recent additions to the FAVR platform.
