Etnia Barcelona—one of the most intriguing independent eyewear brands on the market—presents its boldest and most surreal capsule yet: Toiletpaper x Etnia Barcelona, a limited-edition collection blending design, art, and visual provocation. This collaboration with the iconic Toiletpaper Magazine, founded by Maurizio Cattelan and Pier Paolo Ferrari, brings their creative universe into the world of eyewear, celebrating both surrealism and pop style.
The Pieces in the Toiletpaper x Etnia Barcelona Capsule
The collection includes three models of sunglasses: ‘Dolly’, ‘Roses 1’, and ‘Roses 2’, each inspired by the famous graphics of Toiletpaper Magazine. Among them, the ‘Dolly’ model stands out as the most original: a frame with 3D-printed details, like roses with a doll’s eye at the center that “blink” when you close your eyes. Available in white, pink, and black, this model uniquely combines design and functionality with a surreal twist.
The other two models, ‘Roses 1’ and ‘Roses 2’, celebrate surreal florals with reversible frames in Mazzucchelli acetate, featuring the magazine’s signature rose pattern. Perfect for those seeking high-quality sunglasses with a bold aesthetic.
The collection was launched with an extensive advertising campaign featuring imagery that is decidedly surreal (and delightfully fun), evoking the vibrant aesthetics of the ’50s and ’60s.
