The Duke is one of two models from Etnia Barcelona’s highly anticipated, limited
edition tribute collection to David Bowie. This metal frame is inspired by the
sunglasses that David Bowie wore in the movie “The man who fell to earth”. The
frame is available with three distinctive lens colours and is a nod to one of the
most elegant of David Bowie’s “Alter Ego”, The Thin White Duke.
