Etnia Barcelona Pellicer is more than a collection — it’s a story where craftsmanship becomes memory, and eyewear becomes art. Born in the heart of Barcelona, this premium line pays tribute to three generations of visionary artisans: the Pellicer family.
Each frame reflects a century of passion, innovation, and resilience. Pellicer is a journey through time — where tradition meets modern design and the soul of a city comes alive in every detail.
The story of Pellicer began in 1924, during Barcelona’s golden age of creativity. Fulgencio Ramo, the visionary, founded his first eyewear workshop — a place where metal, fire, and imagination merged to shape more than just objects. He crafted expressions, not accessories.
The next generation, led by Josep Pellicer, the wise, refined the craft, elevating Barcelona into a global eyewear hub. Then came David Pellicer, the dreamer, who transformed his family’s legacy into a global brand — Etnia Barcelona — a celebration of color, art, and individuality.
With Pellicer FW25, David closes the circle: a tribute to his roots and a modern reawakening of a century-old family tradition.
Every Etnia Barcelona collection carries the spirit of its city. In Pellicer, Barcelona becomes a muse — its forges, tiles, and sunlight reflected in every design.
The frames draw inspiration from the fluid lines of Catalan modernism, the earthy tones of the Mediterranean, and the textured geometry of the city’s iconic hydraulic tiles.
Barcelona is a city that never stops creating. And Pellicer captures that movement — the blend of art and craft, steel and soul.
The beauty of Etnia Barcelona Pellicer lies in its meticulous attention to materials. Each frame is made from Mazzucchelli acetate, a natural blend of cotton and wood renowned for its durability and flexibility.
The collection features Barberini mineral lenses, crafted in Italy through a refined platinum-tube process that ensures unmatched clarity, brilliance, and visual comfort.
Some models feature titanium, celebrated for its strength, lightness, and corrosion resistance. Beyond its technical appeal, titanium embodies timeless elegance — a hallmark of Etnia Barcelona’s commitment to excellence and comfort.
The Pellicer FW25 collection introduces 12 optical and sunglass models, each named after cultural icons of 19th- and 20th-century Barcelona.
Balancing heritage and modernity, the designs combine clean, architectural lines with rich tones reminiscent of the city’s artistic past.
Every frame tells a story of evolution — from artisan workshops to modern studios, from inherited tools to cutting-edge technology.
At Etnia Barcelona, independence and authenticity guide every creative decision. The brand designs, develops, and produces each collection entirely in-house.
For over two decades, Etnia Barcelona has stood as a symbol of color, art, and human expression. The brand is known for offering the widest range of color references in the eyewear industry — but its true identity lies in emotion.
With Pellicer, the brand returns to its origins, celebrating family, transmission, and craftsmanship. Each pair of glasses is both a design statement and a tribute — to heritage, to artisans, and to the spirit of creation that defines Barcelona itself.
Etnia Barcelona Pellicer bridges past and future, bringing the warmth of heritage into contemporary design.
It’s an invitation to see differently — through the lens of a century-old story, reimagined for today.
In Pellicer, the family legacy lives on: three generations united by a single vision — to turn eyewear into art, and art into legacy.
