Details

Persol is the symbol of an extraordinary Italian history that began in Turin in 1917, when optician and photographer Giuseppe Ratti invented the Protector, cutting-edge glasses designed to offer maximum comfort, protection, and vision for aviators and sports pilots. The Persol brand – acronym of “per il sole” (“for the sun”) – has continuously forged its identity: exceptional quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. The Arrow is the exclusive hinge decorated with an arrow inspired by the swords of ancient warriors.

The 649 model, the first true icon of the brand, was designed in 1957.

In the 1960s, Persol glasses appeared in some of the most iconic films of Italian cinema. The style and quality of Persol lenses became famous worldwide.

Even today, each piece is produced in the historic Turin headquarters.
