A genius once said that experience is the source of all knowledge, and he was right. All our ideas, dreams and even the most abstract concepts come from experience. Cities also transmit experiences, like Barcelona, a city of wisdom that dreams while awake. A vast tapestry of cultural expressions that inspires in every corner. A city that carefully shapes itself, just like the legacy of the Pellicer family.
Riquer
This is the manifesto behind Pellicer, the new high-end collection of Etnia Barcelona and one of the most special launches of the brand in more than 20 years. Pellicer embarks on a journey of three generations of eyewear makers whose knowledge, forged through years of work, perseverance and innovation, has mastered the art of making glasses.

In 1924, a family legacy spanning three generations began to take shape, creating a history of passion, learning and perseverance that links the Pellicer family to the manufacture of one of the most influential objects in many people’s lives: glasses. Through their work, and the innovations they have developed over the years, they have contributed to turning Barcelona into a global reference in the industry.

In the 1950s, visionary Fulgencio Ramo founded his first eyewear factory. The next generation, including wisecracking Josep Pellicer, quickly took over the design, manufacture and distribution of eyewear throughout Spain. In the late 1990s, visionary David Pellicer joined the company with the desire to create something new: a brand that embraced all people and the ways they expressed themselves through color and art. This is how Etnia Barcelona was born.
Milà
In Barcelona between the 19th and 20th centuries, cultural expressions of all kinds played a vital role in the city’s transformation. In hidden alleyways, forges echoed with the sounds of hammers and anvils, telling the story of a city fashioning itself. Forges not only produced practical objects, but also artistic expressions, reflecting the dynamic spirit of a society in constant flux. This legacy of cultural renaissance inspires Pellicer’s designs.
Guimerà
In every piece, Pellicer is committed to perfection, detail and a lasting family legacy. This includes delivering the highest quality and precision in every piece.
Fortuny
Pellicer frames are made from extremely fine Mazzucchelli acetate. This material comes from cellulose acetate, whose raw materials are cotton and wood. In addition, this material has excellent resistance and ductility, providing maximum comfort and durability.
Puig
Barberini mineral glass lenses embody the pinnacle of Italian excellence, proving the brand’s unparalleled expertise and relentless pursuit of technological innovation. Made from premium optical glass, these lenses originate from a carefully oxidized mixture, melted in a dedicated furnace. Refined through real platinum tubes, each pair of lenses is a masterpiece, flawless, free of impurities, optically perfect, setting a new standard for visual clarity.
Oller
Titanium represents excellence in eyewear manufacturing, combining strength, lightness and style. Its durability ensures a long lifespan, while its lightness provides extraordinary comfort throughout the day. Corrosion resistance and elegant aesthetics add a touch of sophistication to each pair, precision craftsmanship and innovation.
Llimona
The collection includes 12 new optical and sunglass models in a variety of colors. Blending tradition and innovation, these models combine earthy tones with Barcelona’s famous hydraulic tiles. The Pellicer Fall/Winter 2024 collection also stands out for its shapes, inspired by the elegance of the wrought ironwork prevalent in Barcelona and the smooth lines of Catalan modernism. Admiring the details of Pellicer eyewear is like traveling through the history and art of Barcelona. In addition, each piece is named after a famous figure from the culture of Barcelona in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
