Blackfin

Italian through and through, Blackfin prioritizes people, land, and heritage. Rooted in Agordo, the brand’s commitment to its workforce and location is unwavering. Crafting frames solely from Japanese titanium, Blackfin blends Italian artistry and technical expertise. This brand’s essence is tied to its people and Italy, shaping a future grounded in shared history and commitment.

Blackfin embraces recyclable titanium for their frames, however titanium mining poses environmental challenges. Their headquarters and factory are located in a ​“sustainable” building, as detailed on their website. Products arrive in an ​“eco-friendly” box with a magnetic closure, and a customizable aluminium plate, the specifics of the material of the box is unknown. While the brand prioritizes sustainability, specific details on packaging materials and chemicals remain undisclosed.

The brand uses all recyclable materials, making it a circular brand. They do not seem to provide any take-back or repair services, however. 

Blackfin, based in Italy, sources titanium from Japan, resulting in a longer supply chain. The brand emphasizes obtaining the highest quality titanium, supposedly unique to Japan. Transportation methods are undisclosed, which impacts emissions regardless of the length of the supply chain. 

The brand does not seem to use any animal derived products, hence can, in-theory, be called a vegan brand.

Blackfin eyewear, crafted from titanium, represents a unique blend of technical expertise and creative vision. These frames, known for their lightweight strength, embody exceptional durability and comfort. The hypoallergenic nature of pure titanium ensures a distinctive, inimitable style that stands the test of time.

This brand emphasizes transparency, providing insights into their manufacturing processes and material. However, detailed information about cases, packaging, lens sourcing, transportation methods, and chemicals is currently unavailable.
