The Etnia Barcelona HANNAH BAY .P eyeglasses bring Barcelona’s artistic spirit to a modern cat-eye silhouette. Available in 25 distinctive color combinations—from the tortoise-meets-magenta drama of Havana Bordeaux to the cool contrast of Fuchsia Blue—these prescription-ready frames prove that functional eyewear can be a statement piece.
Each frame is constructed from 100% natural Italian acetate sourced from Mazzucchelli, a cotton-and-wood-based material prized for its strength, flexibility, and ability to hold rich, saturated color. The full-rim design provides excellent lens security for single-vision, progressive, and high-index prescriptions, while the cat-eye shape offers generous lens height—particularly helpful if you’re considering progressive lenses and need clear zones for distance, intermediate, and near vision.
Founded in 2001 by David Pellicer, Etnia Barcelona emerged from a family with over 70 years of eyewear expertise. Pellicer’s grandfather opened an eyewear factory in Barcelona in the 1950s; by the time David launched Etnia, he’d spent years learning the trade and recognized an industry dominated by black and brown frames. His answer: a brand rooted in art, individuality, and a color palette now spanning 500+ proprietary shades. The HANNAH BAY embodies that philosophy—frames that pair technical quality with the kind of color blocking you won’t find in conservative collections.
The HANNAH BAY is offered in three sizes (49mm, 51mm, and 52mm eye width) to accommodate different face shapes and prescription needs. The acetate construction keeps the frames lightweight for all-day wear, and the single-bridge design sits comfortably without pinching. Cat-eye frames like this naturally draw the eye upward, flattering round and oval face shapes, though the softer upsweep here works across a range of features. If you’ve been searching for women’s prescription eyeglasses that balance vintage charm with contemporary wearability, this frame delivers.
Acetate does require a bit of care—rinse under lukewarm water, use mild soap, and store in a case away from heat (car dashboards and acetate don’t mix). Maintained properly, Italian acetate frames can last 5–8 years and can be professionally polished to restore their original luster.
