Handcrafted Eyewear: The Italian Artistry of In Barberia

Meet Marco Andreoni and Antonio Battaglia, the creative duo behind In Barberia, a laboratory and shop for bespoke eyewear and selected brands. With shops in Treviso and Venice, Italy, the pair prides themselves on being the only eyewear makers in the country who handcraft each piece entirely by hand.
Their laboratory in Venice allows customers to watch as Antonio creates each pair of glasses, cutting, filing, and polishing pieces without the aid of machinery. The resulting eyewear is a unique piece, made entirely for the person who will wear it.
In Barberia’s process takes around thirty hours per pair and is personalized for each client’s face and personality. And their approach isn’t just about creating an exclusive product. It’s about building a relationship with each customer to ensure they leave with not just a product, but also a sense of style.
Their selection includes rare glasses, unique pieces, and a refined selection of trendy brands and models created by the best stylists of the moment. In Barberia’s philosophy is to research quality and innovation while always enhancing the tradition of the craft.
Their clients come from all over the world, drawn to the allure of handmade Italian eyewear. At In Barberia, the object and the relationship with the customer are equally important. The result is not just a pair of glasses but a personal experience that blends artistry, craftsmanship, and style.
