Lamarca Eyewear
Italian Craftsmanship Where Colour Becomes Art
Some eyewear catches your eye because of its colour.
Lamarca captures your attention because of how that colour is created.
At first glance, you notice vibrant combinations, sculptural shapes, and beautiful transparency. Look a little closer and you begin to appreciate something even more remarkable: the incredible craftsmanship required to transform sheets of Italian acetate into frames that feel almost architectural in their complexity.
At Blink Eyewear in Collingwood, we carefully curate independent eyewear collections that combine exceptional design with exceptional craftsmanship. Lamarca represents both.
Designed and handcrafted in Italy, every Lamarca frame celebrates colour, creativity, and the artistry of making something truly original.
Whether you're looking for distinctive prescription eyewear or simply appreciate beautifully made objects, Lamarca is one of the finest examples of contemporary Italian eyewear design.
The Story Behind Lamarca
Lamarca was born in Italy with a simple philosophy.
Design should create emotion.
Inspired by art, architecture, fashion, and the colours found throughout everyday Italian life, the collection embraces creativity without sacrificing elegance. Every frame balances expressive design with refined proportions, resulting in eyewear that feels bold while remaining remarkably wearable.
Rather than following seasonal trends, Lamarca focuses on creating lasting pieces that celebrate individuality through colour, texture, and form.
That commitment to originality is exactly what first drew us to the collection.
What Makes Lamarca Different?
Colour is everywhere in eyewear.
Creating colour well is much harder.
Many manufacturers simply laminate two sheets of acetate together.
Lamarca takes an entirely different approach.
Multiple layers of premium Italian acetate are combined, milled, sculpted, bevelled, polished, and refined to create remarkable depth and movement throughout every frame. Light passes differently through each layer, allowing colours to shift and evolve depending on the angle, the environment, and even the person wearing them.
The result is eyewear that almost feels alive.
It's one thing to design an interesting shape.
It's another thing entirely to engineer a frame that produces this kind of visual complexity.
The Art of Making a Lamarca Frame
This is where Lamarca truly separates itself.
Creating one of these frames is not a simple manufacturing process.
Long before a frame reaches your face, it has already passed through dozens of individual production stages. Layers of acetate are carefully selected, bonded together, precision milled, hand-finished, polished, assembled, adjusted, and inspected before the finished frame ever leaves Italy. Much of that work is still completed by skilled craftspeople whose expertise cannot simply be replaced by machines.
Some of the sculptural details that make Lamarca instantly recognizable require additional machining, careful hand finishing, and repeated polishing to achieve the smooth transitions between colours and surfaces.
It's a level of craftsmanship you can both see and feel.
For us, that's what makes Lamarca so compelling.
The beauty isn't applied to the frame.
The beauty is built into it.
Who Is Lamarca For?
Who Is Lamarca For?
Lamarca appeals to people who appreciate thoughtful craftsmanship just as much as beautiful design.
You may find yourself drawn to this collection if you:
love Italian design

These frames often become favourites not simply because of how they look, but because the more time you spend with them, the more remarkable they become.
The Blink Perspective
Every collection at Blink earns its place for a different reason.
Some brands tell a fascinating story.
Some push creative boundaries.
Lamarca reminds us that true craftsmanship still matters.
The first time we held these frames, what impressed us wasn't simply the colour.
It was the construction.
Looking closely, you begin to appreciate the incredible amount of work hidden beneath the surface. The layered acetate, the precision milling, the perfectly finished edges, the way light travels through every colour combination.
These aren't details most people notice immediately.
But they are exactly the kind of details that make us fall in love with independent eyewear.
Lamarca is proof that manufacturing can be an art form.
That's why we're proud to share it with our patients.
