Founded in Turin in 1917, Persol’s long history of innovation, consistency and tradition has made it a universally recognised style icon. The brand’s glasses are loved by the stars of the silver screen and by all those who like to bring a little bit of elegance into their everyday lives. Persol has an innate ability to evolve, keeping its style in sync with contemporary trends.
This is once again evident in Persol’s newest collection, which is characterised by Persol’s striking attention to detail.
Testament to this is the new double bridge and lightweight, elegant frame of the Persol Calligrapher Edition. From the sophisticated combination of Havana acetates – from the brand’s sprawling archives – with a range of metallic tones to the incisions used to accentuate temples and bridges, each and every detail is attended to with the full extent of Persol’s artisanal expertise.
All of the glasses have an extreme sense of lightness courtesy of sleek lines in both the optical frames and sunglasses, with the latter using top-quality crystal lenses – polarised and ultra-thin versions are also available. The journey through the vintage acetates in the Persol archives continues, while the brand-new Madreterra version makes an exclusive appearance on the iconic 714 model.
Sunglasses

These acetate sunglasses are one of the iconic Persol models, immortalised thanks to the legendary Steve McQueen who wore them both in his personal life and on the set of many of his widely acclaimed films. The fold-away frames are made using artisanal methods and the finest materials, while the temples are equipped with the Meflecto system and feature the Supreme Arrow. As part of the brand’s journey of rediscovery through some of the vintage patterning in their archives, this model features the exclusive new Madreterra acetate, which contrasts wonderfully with crystal lenses in green, brown gradient and polarised blue.
As well as ensuring perfectly clear vision, these lenses also offer 100% protection from harmful sun rays.
