About Blackfin
Uncover the essence of Italian tradition and innovation with Blackfin, an esteemed eyewear brand that has redefined luxury through its unwavering focus on titanium eyewear. Established in 1971 by Maria Pramaor in Agordo, Italy, Blackfin has evolved into a symbol of expert craftsmanship and timeless style.
Blackfin's roots trace back to its founder's early days of experimenting with various materials, including metal and acetate. Maria Pramaor's commitment to learning and dedication to craftsmanship laid the foundation for a brand that would become synonymous with quality and sophistication. Today, Blackfin stands as a testament to decades of expertise and a deep-seated passion for creating exceptional eyewear.
Headquartered in Agordo, Italy, Blackfin continues to honor its heritage and commitment to its birthplace. The brand's premises in Pramaor serve as the cradle of creativity, where each frame is meticulously crafted. Over the years, changes have been made to enhance working conditions, but the heart of Blackfin remains rooted in Agordo.

This commitment goes beyond mere production; it reflects a deep-seated love for the history, people, and place that shape Blackfin's identity.
A Blackfin frame is more than just eyewear; it is a unique piece of art born from the technical expertise and creative passion of generations. The brand acknowledges and appreciates the men and women who contribute to this legacy, expressing gratitude for their dedication and the exceptional manner in which they bring each frame to life.
