About this item

A bold 1970s squared Persol Ratti frame in thick, glossy black acetate, fitted with dark green mineral glass lenses. The temples carry Persol's patented Meflecto flexible system, marked by three thin silver bands near each hinge, so the arms gently follow the shape of the head.

Brand heritage

Persol was founded in Turin, Italy, in 1917 by optician Giuseppe Ratti, who first made protective glasses for pilots and sports drivers; the name comes from "per il sole", "for the sun". In the 1930s Persol introduced the patented Meflecto flexible temple, and the Supreme silver arrow became its signature. Frames made before Luxottica acquired the brand in 1995, usually called "Ratti era" Persols, are highly prized by collectors for their thick, hand-finished acetate and mineral glass lenses.
