The Heritage of Etnia Barcelona

The fascinating history of Etnia Barcelona eyeglasses dates back to the 1950s when Fulgencio Ramo, the grandfather of David Pellicer (the current company owner), established the brand's first eyewear factory.

Since the 90's, David Pellicer has had a bold vision for the company. He set out to reinvent the eyewear industry and add colour to frames, which up until that time, had been dominated by sombre browns and blacks. This colourful transformation became a defining hallmark of Etnia Barcelona's sunglasses and eyeglasses, marking a turning point in eyewear design.

David aspired to build more than just glasses; he aimed to create a brand. This brand would embody values of freedom, humanity, and humility, making it accessible to everyone. Thus, in 2001, Etnia Barcelona eyewear was born, with David's enduring passion for color and art leaving an indelible mark on the brand's distinctive creations.

In the years since its inception, Etnia Barcelona has risen to prominence as a trailblazer in the eyewear industry, capturing the hearts of many celebrities along the way. Icons such as Jessica Alba, Brad Pitt, Jay-Z, and Hailey Bieber have all been enamored by the brand's unique and imaginative designs, cementing its status as a revered and creative eyewear force.
