EVOLUTION, REINTERPRETATION AND NEW OBJECTS OF DESIRE.
DISCOVER THE INNOVATIVE DESIGNS

Persol has been synonymous with Made in Italy since 1917. The brand’s sophisticated materials and artisan manufacturing processes have been key to its success over the last 100 years. Now Persol enriches its collections with new interpretations and original models.

The new additions range from the evolution of the Calligrapher Edition to the stylish redesign of Persol’s ’40s models and the continued creation of models with a double bridge, which blend retro charm with a contemporary interpretation of ’70s style.

SUNGLASSES

The frame’s contemporary design takes inspiration from vintage styles with a modern combination of acetate and metal. The temples, which feature acetate tips, are finished with small engravings reminiscent of writing exercises and are signed inside with the collection’s logo. The model comes with a dedicated case and is available in the following combinations: grey striped Havana with semi-opaque black metal temples and grey gradient lenses; blue striped Havana with bronze temples and brown gradient lenses; Havana with gold temples and brown polar lenses; black with gunmetal temples and green polar lenses; striped brown with gold temples and blue lenses.
