THE VINTAGE COLLECTION
Roberts and Brown Opticians is excited to introduce the Vintage Collection from Etnia Barcelona. This collection is inspired by some of the most influential cities from the counterculture of the 1970’s. The use of colour in the Vintage Collection is a homage to the independent spirit that influenced and shaped a cultural rebellion.
The cities represented are as diverse and eclectic as the frame designs that bear their names. Cities such as Williamsburg, Shoreditch, Wimbledon, Mission District, Le Marais and even our very own Kitsilano.
The frames in the collection are made with a unique vintage metal core temple, designed with Art Nouveau motifs by the brand's design team. This metal temple rod can be glimpsed inside the acetate or viewed exposed on the metal frames. Engraved with a laser to achieve high precision in the lines of the motif.
In this Vintage collection, we have introduced 15 colours in acetate for the base of the frame, front and temples. The colours selected are part of the history of eyeglasses, attaining the status of "classics" in the optical sector. Their creation dates to the year 1970, and feature a palette of dark, glass and honey tones.
With 15 different frame styles to choose from you will be able to find one that speaks to you, while also staying at the forefront of current trends such as round frames, brow bars and the timelessly classic Aviator. Each frame is designed and crafted with Etnia Barcelona’s usual attention to craftsmanship and style.
Visit us today to see these wonderful glasses and transport yourself and your style to a true time of cultural renaissance.
