Striking: BlackfinStriking: Blackfin
Blackfin Eyewear’s latest release introduces new models in the Blackfin One, Blackfin Pacific and Blackfin Atlantic families. Specifically, it marks a milestone for the Blackfin Atlantic family. Endowed with a bold British look, the new styles have generous proportions without forfeiting the distinctive light weight that comes with the use of titanium.
Frames in the Atlantic series are cut from a single 3mm block of titanium, lending them an infinite sensation of solidity with bevelling to soften the look. Thanks to an innovative patent, the pantoscopic angle of the temples can be adjusted, ensuring perfect adaptability to all faces without compromising aesthetics. Frames are made
entirely in Italy at the sustainable Black Shelter headquarters.
