In celebration of the 37th America’s Cup, Etnia Barcelona has launched an exclusive capsule collection of sunglasses that perfectly embody the spirit of sailing. The Etnia Barcelona x America’s Cup collection is designed not only for the sailing community but also for those with an eye for unique Mediterranean inspired limited edition eyewear.
What is The America’s Cup?
The America’s Cup is the oldest international sporting trophy, with its origins dating back to 1851. Often referred to as the “Formula 1 of sailing,” it is a prestigious yacht race that brings together the best sailors and the most advanced boats in the world. The 37th edition of this historic event takes place in 2024 in Barcelona, a city known for its vibrant culture and rich maritime history.Â
Mediterranean Aesthetics in Every Frame
Etnia Barcelona, known for its bold and artistic designs, has infused the essence of the Mediterranean into this collection. The frames reflect the colors and energy of the Mediterranean Sea, making them a perfect accessory for nautical enthusiasts and a unique addition to any eyewear collection. The Etnia Barcelona x America’s Cup collection includes a variety of frame shapes and colorways, each inspired by the dynamic world of sailing. The America’s Cup logo is subtly engraved on the temple tips, adding a layer of exclusivity to the design.
The glasses in this collection feature polarized HD mineral lenses equipped with an IR filter, ensuring unparalleled clarity, sharpness, and visual comfort. These lenses are specifically designed to enhance contrast and reduce glare, providing optimal performance under the intense lighting conditions typical of open waters.
The Etnia Barcelona x America’s Cup collection represents a unique opportunity to own a piece of eyewear that is not only functional but also steeped in sailing history. The limited nature of the collection, combined with its Mediterranean-inspired design and connection to the 37th America’s Cup means each frame has a story to tell.
