Persol Sunglasses
First introduced in the eyewear market by Giuseppe Ratti in 1917, the name Persol is derived from “per il sole”, which means “for the sun” in Italian. All models display the famous silver arrow, the brand’s trademark.
Originally designed for pilots and race car drivers, Persol sunglasses have always heavily relied on advanced technology and premium materials to offer high end, quality focused sunglasses. Persol created the Meflecto system, a technology that revolutionized the industry and profoundly changed the way eyewear was manufactured from then. This technology made it possible to give more flexibility to the frame, and thus significantly improved the level of comfort for the wearer. Many other famous brands have happily replicated the system after Persol introduced it in the mid-1900s. In addition to their ongoing research and development of new advanced techniques, the brand ensures all products are tested under a very strict protocol to guarantee their quality and durability in all possible contexts. Some of the most intensive tests include the Drop Ball Test, the Sides Stress Test, and the Abrasion and Scratch Test.
Persol is not only a pioneer in the field of eyewear production technology, they also very proudly offer a selection of crystal lenses. Every pair of Persol sunglasses comes with fine tempered crystal lenses and is handcrafted. Very few luxury brands have carried on the traditional handcraft production method, and Persol is one of the proud members of this exclusive club.
Persol has become an iconic accessory and has long been recognized as a top luxury eyewear brand worlwide. Hollywood star Greta Garbo very much praised the Persol brand starting back in the early 1960s. Steve McQueen promoted the brand’s products on and off-screen, for example with a pair of the Persol 714 PO0714 Sunglasses folding model in box office hit The Thomas Crown Affair. Other box office hits include many of the James Bond movies : Daniel Craig wore classic Persol sunglasses for men models 2244-S and Persol 649 PO0649 Sunglasses in Casino Royale, while Pierce Brosnan favored Persol model PO2672-S in Die Another Day. La Dolce Vita, Miami Vice, Lost in Translation, Divorce Italian Style and Mamma Mia!, just to name a few, all championed the brand.
