The Black Edition series by Blackfin embodies the supreme elegance of titanium frames. Examples of perfect marriage between science and fine craftsmanship, thanks to the innovative Blackfin Nano-Plating process each model takes on a unique, unmistakable personality.
This series embodies the essence of fine artisan craftsmanship, with the initial hand-polishing phases that call for time, experience and delicate action. Every detail is meticulously and masterfully addressed to guarantee all the sophistication and luxury of Italian hand-craftsmanship.
Blackfin Nano-Plating coloring techniques allow the frames to acquire an extraordinary polished effect designed to last a lifetime. In an outer-space-like setting, inside an aseptic, vacuum-sealed bell jar, precious metals are vaporized and then deposited, atom by atom, onto the surface of the frames, creating a coating that is both thin and durable. The result is unrivaled elegance that never goes unnoticed.

About Blackfin
BLACKFIN is a traditional Italian designer eyewear brand. It’s well respected in the independent eyewear industry because it concentrates on a prestigious and interesting niche: Titanium eyewear.
For BLACKFIN, this is not just another random material but part of an entire belief system. The products from BLACKFIN are all made in Italy and crafted to the highest quality levels.
They are highly valued by opticians because they are precisely manufactured based on expert craftsmanship.
Of course every single pair of glasses and sunglasses is perfectly executed. The brand has put its entire focus on titanium as a material and produces all frames in Italy. Because of this unique approach, the brand has coined the term #neomadeinitaly, which works as the main claim and also the key to understanding BLACKFIN.
