About this item

A large, square-shouldered Persol pilot frame, model 6284/T, in warm havana tortoise acetate with a straight double brow bar. Brown gradient lenses and the Persol Meflecto flexible temples, marked by four metal bands on each arm, complete this bold, masculine Italian design.

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.
