There is a deep bond between the new Persol Calligrapher Edition and the art of modern calligraphy, because both prove that tradition can give life to utterly original, contemporary creations. Thanks to ancient savoir-faire, modern personality and character which shine through in both calligraphy and the design of the new collection.
The optical frames and sunglasses of the Persol Calligrapher edition combine a range of quality materials to create elegant front sections with all the lightness of a calligrapher’s hand. The acetates, based on the sophisticated vintage shades in the Persol archives, interact with bridges and sleek temples in metal, with incisions invoking the thousands of lines that go into each magnificent work of calligraphy.
These are delicate, elegant glasses, designed for the modern gentleman in search of a unique pair. And given that desire for something unique, Persol’s iconic Meflecto system, the legendary arrow on the temples and the sophisticated matching case are bound to be a hit.
