Persol Sunglasses

The Italian spirit embodied in the frame of a pair of sunglasses: Persol is the brand for active and elegant people, for whom cultivating their own style that expresses their personality is as important as choosing high-quality accessories that protect their eyes.

The brand was created at the beginning of the 20th century, during the First World War, with the aim of protecting the eyes of Italian fighter pilots, although over the decades it has evolved in terms of technology, while maintaining its classic style unchanged.

The turning point in the history of Persol was the appearance of the mythical glasses in the films Divorce Italian Style (1961), by Marcello Mastroiani and The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) thanks to Steve McQueen, who elevated the model to legendary status. As for Persol sunglasses for women, countless artists, such as Greta Garbo, have contributed to making the brand a symbol.

In fact, the iconic round glasses in a combination of metal and acetate have been reissued on numerous occasions and are still very much in vogue: choosing Persol sunglasses guarantees you a model that will not easily go out of fashion, especially in the case of the Steve McQueen model, named after the actor who made them famous, the Calligrapher collection or the Persol 714 and Persol 649 frames.

If you're looking for the ultimate level of practicality, we recommend taking a look at Persol models with photochromic lenses, which darken as clarity increases, allowing you to use only one frame for both prescription glasses and sunglasses.
