Blackfin

You'll forget you're wearing a Blackfin frame. It's all titanium, and the colour work is gorgeous.

The story starts in 1971, when Maria Pramaor opened her own frame workshop in Agordo, in the Italian Dolomites. Blackfin frames are still made there, from Japanese titanium that's worked entirely in Italy.

New in: Delray, a bold butterfly in Aurora Pink and Mystic Violet, and Vitra, now in cedar green as well as blue. For sunnies, Ventura is a squared aviator with a vintage double bridge, and Gotham in matt black with yellow lenses is pure drama.

Pick one up next time you're in South Freo. You'll see what I mean about the weight.
