Blackfin

In the realm of eyewear, Blackfin redefines possibilities with a remarkable fusion of absolute lightness and unparalleled strength. Each Blackfin model emerges as a singular creation, as its properties are genuinely one-of-a-kind. The titanium employed possesses the robustness of steel, yet remarkably weighs 40% less and boasts twice the strength of aluminum. This extraordinary material demands an equally exceptional mastery in shaping, resulting in the crafting of something truly extraordinary and unmatched with every endeavor. In the hands of our skilled artisans, Blackfin transforms into a testament of ingenuity and inimitable artistry.

History

In the early 1970s, Maria Pramaor embarked on an entrepreneurial journey, christening her venture with her own name - an origin tale that continues to unfold to this day. Italy of the 1960s bore stark differences, yet a constant remained. In that era, one could already find a renowned eyewear hub, known for its meticulous craftsmanship. This enclave was none other than Agordo, and in the year 1971, Maria Pramaor established her very own artisanal frame-making atelier, following nearly a decade of industry experience. This marked the inception of a riveting narrative, one woven with threads of ardor, expertise, and unwavering dedication. For values, once embraced, become an inseparable part of one's essence.

As the 1990s dawned, the company took a pioneering step towards working with titanium, forging a distinct trajectory. During the 1980s, conventional metal and acetate dominated the frame-making landscape, with titanium frames scarcely even a concept. It was in 1991 that Maria Pramaor and her husband, Primo Del Din, embarked on a venture with titanium, envisioning a departure from the norm. They dispatched their technical experts to Japan, established a dedicated department for this material, and commenced the accumulation of expertise that remains integral to every Blackfin titanium frame to this day. This strategic move marked a pivotal moment in the brand's evolution, setting it apart in an industry where innovation was paramount.
