The Etnia Barcelona QUINCY eyeglasses bring Barcelona's independent design spirit to a versatile rectangular frame with soft cat-eye proportions. Available in striking multi-color acetate patterns—from Turquoise Red and Havana Green to Havana Pink and Blue Bordeaux—these prescription-ready frames pair bold color with everyday wearability.
Italian Acetate & Artisan Construction
QUINCY frames are made from premium Italian acetate, a plant-based material derived from cotton and wood pulp. Unlike injection-molded plastic, acetate is cut, formed, and polished from layered sheets, creating frames that are lightweight, hypoallergenic, and genuinely durable. The color runs through the entire material rather than being painted on, so the vibrant patterns won't chip or fade with daily wear. Each frame is handcrafted in Spain, reflecting Etnia Barcelona's commitment to quality over mass production.
Fit & Who It's For
The gently rounded rectangular shape works across a range of face shapes. The subtle cat-eye lift adds definition to round faces, softens angular features on square faces, and complements the natural balance of oval faces. Available in two sizes—50mm and 52mm lens width—with a standard bridge and full-rim construction for secure lens retention. These frames are designed for women who want color and personality in their everyday eyewear without sacrificing comfort or prescription compatibility.
Fully compatible with single-vision, progressive, and reader prescriptions. UV-ready lenses can be added during customization. Ships with an Etnia Barcelona case and cleaning cloth.

Selection and prices very good, service, even for return, was very friendly. Only problem was that FedEx 1 business day took three days, but price and service of this company were so great I didn't bother to mention it.
I recently purchased a pair of Etnia Barcelona eyeglasses (Quincy in Havana Pink) from Designer Optics, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The price was fair and not inflated the way many boutique eyewear brick-and-mortar stores often do. The glasses arrived in perfect condition directly from the manufacturer, and the quality is excellent. Customer service was quick and very responsive, which made the process smooth and stress-free. Shipping was lightning fast, especially impressive considering the item came from the EU. Overall, Designer Optics delivered on all fronts. I’ll definitely shop here again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Etnia Barcelona QUINCY eyeglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the QUINCY frames are fully prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, progressive, bifocal, and reading lenses. The full-rim acetate construction securely holds prescription lenses of varying thicknesses, and you can add lens upgrades like anti-reflective coatings, blue-light filtering, or photochromic (Transitions) lenses during checkout.
What material are QUINCY frames made from?
QUINCY frames are made from premium Italian Mazzucchelli acetate, a plant-based material derived from cotton and wood pulp. Acetate is hypoallergenic, lightweight, and more durable than conventional plastic because it's cut and polished from layered sheets rather than injection-molded. The color is embedded throughout the material, so it won't chip or fade over time.
What face shapes do QUINCY eyeglasses suit?
The QUINCY's gently rounded rectangular shape with a soft cat-eye lift flatters most face shapes, including oval, round, square, heart, and diamond. The subtle upswept corners add definition to round faces, soften angular features on square faces, and complement the natural symmetry of oval faces. The frame is available in 50mm and 52mm lens widths to accommodate different face sizes.
How durable are acetate eyeglass frames?
Acetate frames are highly durable and flexible, making them resistant to breakage from daily wear. Because acetate is constructed from multiple fused layers rather than a single plastic mold, it withstands stress better than conventional plastic and retains its shape over time. The material's natural flexibility allows for comfortable adjustments without snapping.
What sizes are available for the QUINCY frames?
The QUINCY is available in two sizes: 50-16-133 (50mm lens width, 16mm bridge, 133mm temple length) and 52-16-140 (52mm lens width, 16mm bridge, 140mm temple length). The 50mm size suits smaller to medium faces, while the 52mm works for medium to larger faces. Both sizes feature the same design and color options.
Do QUINCY frames come with a case?
Yes, every pair of Etnia Barcelona QUINCY eyeglasses ships with an official Etnia Barcelona protective case and a cleaning cloth. The brand uses recyclable packaging materials, including cotton cases and biodegradable protective bags, as part of their commitment to sustainability.

Etnia Barcelona QUINCY vs Other Etnia Barcelona Frames
If you're drawn to the QUINCY's bold acetate patterns and soft rectangular shape, you might also consider other frames from Etnia Barcelona's collection. All share the brand's signature Italian Mazzucchelli acetate construction and artisan craftsmanship, but differ in shape, price, and design intensity.
QUINCY vs TULIP
The Etnia Barcelona TULIP ($165–$315) offers a lower entry point into the brand's aesthetic. Both frames feature vibrant multi-color acetate and full-rim construction, but TULIP presents a different shape profile that may suit customers looking for an alternative silhouette. If you prefer the QUINCY's gently rounded rectangular proportions and soft cat-eye lift, stick with QUINCY. If you want to explore other Etnia Barcelona shapes at a slightly lower price, TULIP is worth considering.
QUINCY vs PATTI
The Etnia Barcelona PATTI ($335–$428) represents the premium end of the collection. While QUINCY delivers excellent quality and design at a mid-range price, PATTI offers more exclusive detailing and potentially bolder design elements. For most customers, QUINCY provides the best balance of Etnia Barcelona's signature style and everyday wearability without the premium price tag.
QUINCY vs ATOKA
The Etnia Barcelona ATOKA ($173–$335) sits in the same price range as QUINCY and offers a direct alternative for customers who love the brand but want a different frame shape. Both are prescription-ready acetate frames with bold color options. Your choice comes down to which shape better suits your face and personal style—QUINCY's soft rectangular cat-eye or ATOKA's unique silhouette.
Our recommendation: The QUINCY hits the sweet spot for customers who want Etnia Barcelona's art-inspired acetate quality in a versatile, face-flattering shape. The soft rectangular proportions work across more face shapes than highly angular or oversized styles, and the price point delivers genuine value for Italian acetate craftsmanship.
