When he founded the Persol brand in Turin in 1917, Giuseppe Ratti aimed to create glasses that protect from the sun, while perfectly combining design and functionality. This approach enabled Persol to become a brand globally renowned for its timeless style.
International actors and directors have been wearing Persol since the early ‘60s, the golden age of Cinecittà and the Dolce Vita. This link with cinema has consecrated Persol’s glasses as icons of Italian style; a philosophy based on authenticity, beauty and the pleasure of living everyday life with style.
The new collection is a result of this heritage and philosophy, featuring sunglasses and glasses that protect against the sun’s rays and offer a perfect vision. Persol frames are lovingly handcrafted with selected materials.The unsurpassed patents that characterize them also make them comfortable, balanced and close-fitting, but not constrictive.
