The Etnia Barcelona HANNAH BAY .P eyeglasses bring Barcelona's artistic spirit to a modern cat-eye silhouette. Available in 25 distinctive color combinations—from the tortoise-meets-magenta drama of Havana Bordeaux to the cool contrast of Fuchsia Blue—these prescription-ready frames prove that functional eyewear can be a statement piece.
Each frame is constructed from 100% natural Italian acetate sourced from Mazzucchelli, a cotton-and-wood-based material prized for its strength, flexibility, and ability to hold rich, saturated color. The full-rim design provides excellent lens security for single-vision, progressive, and high-index prescriptions, while the cat-eye shape offers generous lens height—particularly helpful if you're considering progressive lenses and need clear zones for distance, intermediate, and near vision.
A Brand Built on Color and Three Generations of Craft
Founded in 2001 by David Pellicer, Etnia Barcelona emerged from a family with over 70 years of eyewear expertise. Pellicer's grandfather opened an eyewear factory in Barcelona in the 1950s; by the time David launched Etnia, he'd spent years learning the trade and recognized an industry dominated by black and brown frames. His answer: a brand rooted in art, individuality, and a color palette now spanning 500+ proprietary shades. The HANNAH BAY embodies that philosophy—frames that pair technical quality with the kind of color blocking you won't find in conservative collections.
Fit, Comfort & Who It's For
The HANNAH BAY is offered in three sizes (49mm, 51mm, and 52mm eye width) to accommodate different face shapes and prescription needs. The acetate construction keeps the frames lightweight for all-day wear, and the single-bridge design sits comfortably without pinching. Cat-eye frames like this naturally draw the eye upward, flattering round and oval face shapes, though the softer upsweep here works across a range of features. If you've been searching for women's prescription eyeglasses that balance vintage charm with contemporary wearability, this frame delivers.
Acetate does require a bit of care—rinse under lukewarm water, use mild soap, and store in a case away from heat (car dashboards and acetate don't mix). Maintained properly, Italian acetate frames can last 5–8 years and can be professionally polished to restore their original luster.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Etnia Barcelona HANNAH BAY eyeglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the HANNAH BAY frames are fully prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, progressive, bifocal, and reading lenses. The cat-eye shape offers enough lens height to accommodate progressive lenses comfortably, with clear zones for distance, intermediate, and near vision. You can add your prescription during checkout or submit it after your order.
What material are these frames made from?
The HANNAH BAY frames are made from 100% natural Italian acetate sourced from Mazzucchelli, a premium material derived from cotton and wood. This acetate is prized for its durability, flexibility, lightweight comfort, and ability to hold vibrant, saturated colors. It's a higher-quality alternative to injection-molded plastic and can be professionally polished to restore its finish over time.
How do I choose the right size for the HANNAH BAY?
The HANNAH BAY is available in three eye widths: 49mm, 51mm, and 52mm. If you currently wear glasses, check the inside of your temple arm for sizing (usually formatted as 00-00-000). The first number is your lens width. For cat-eye frames, also consider lens height—taller lenses work better for progressives and provide a more dramatic look, while smaller sizes suit petite faces.
What colors are available for the HANNAH BAY?
The HANNAH BAY offers 25 color combinations, including Havana Bordeaux (tortoise with magenta), Fuchsia Blue, Havana Pink, Havana Purple, Black White, Havana Charcoal, Black Grey, Blue Bordeaux, White Blue, Havana Blue, Green Havana, and Pink Coral. Etnia Barcelona is known for bold, artistic color palettes—many options feature two-tone acetate with contrasting front and temple colors.
How should I care for acetate eyeglass frames?
Rinse your frames under lukewarm water to remove dust, then clean with a drop of mild, lotion-free dish soap and a soft microfiber cloth—never paper towels, which can scratch. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners, acetone, and harsh solvents that can damage the acetate finish. Store frames in a hard case away from heat (car dashboards, direct sun) since acetate softens at relatively low temperatures. With proper care, Italian acetate frames can last 5–8 years.
Who is Etnia Barcelona and what makes their frames special?
Etnia Barcelona is an independent Spanish eyewear brand founded in 2001 by David Pellicer, whose family has three generations of eyewear expertise dating back to the 1950s. The brand revolutionized the industry by introducing bold, artistic color palettes (now 500+ proprietary shades) into a market dominated by black and brown. They use premium natural materials—Mazzucchelli acetate and mineral glass lenses—and draw inspiration from art, culture, and Barcelona's creative energy.

Etnia Barcelona HANNAH BAY vs. Similar Frames
If you're drawn to the HANNAH BAY's cat-eye shape and bold color palette, you might also be weighing other options in our collection. Here's how the HANNAH BAY compares to three alternatives.
HANNAH BAY vs. Etnia Barcelona ETOSHA
Both frames share Etnia Barcelona's DNA: premium Italian Mazzucchelli acetate, the same $175–$335 price range, and those signature artistic color combinations you won't find elsewhere. The key difference is shape. The HANNAH BAY's cat-eye silhouette lifts and flatters, drawing attention upward—ideal if you want a frame with vintage-inspired femininity. The ETOSHA offers a different geometry (check the product page for specifics), which may suit different face shapes or style preferences. If you love Etnia's quality and color but aren't set on a cat-eye, the ETOSHA is worth a look. If the upswept corners are what you're after, stick with the HANNAH BAY.
HANNAH BAY vs. Kate Spade Atalina
The Kate Spade Atalina delivers a cat-eye look at a lower price ($55–$141), making it a smart choice if you're new to designer frames or want a second pair without the investment. You'll get Kate Spade's playful, polished aesthetic and solid prescription compatibility. What you won't get: Etnia Barcelona's premium Mazzucchelli acetate, the depth of color research (Etnia tests 500+ shades twice a year), or the three-generation artisan heritage. The HANNAH BAY is the choice for customers who view eyewear as both functional and collectible—frames that reflect serious craft and artistic intent. The Atalina is the choice for accessible style without compromise on quality basics.
HANNAH BAY vs. Tory Burch 2079
The Tory Burch 2079 ($113–$200) occupies similar premium territory and brings the cachet of an established American luxury brand. Tory Burch frames tend toward classic, versatile silhouettes that work in boardrooms and brunches alike. The HANNAH BAY, by contrast, leans into boldness—frames that announce themselves through color and shape. If your style is polished and understated, Tory Burch may feel more natural. If you want eyewear that doubles as a conversation piece and reflects Barcelona's art-forward energy, the HANNAH BAY is the stronger pick. Both are excellent quality; the decision comes down to whether you prefer timeless American elegance or European creative confidence.
Our take: The Etnia Barcelona HANNAH BAY is the right choice if you value material quality (that Mazzucchelli acetate really does make a difference), artistic color palettes, and a frame with a story behind it. It's eyewear for people who see glasses as an extension of personal style, not just a vision correction tool.
