About this item

A 1970s Persol 58104 with a thick, high-gloss black acetate square front and smooth brown gradient lenses. The temples carry the Meflecto flexible system, marked by three silver-tone metal bands behind each hinge. The inner temples are stamped with the boxed "meflecto" logo, "Persol SUNSHINE", "58104 PATENT" and "50-72".

Brand heritage

Persol was founded in Turin, Italy, in 1917 by optician Giuseppe Ratti, who first made protective eyewear for pilots and racing drivers; the name comes from the Italian "per il sole" ("for the sun"). In the 1930s the company developed the patented Meflecto flexible-temple system, and its Supreme Silver Arrow hinge became the brand's signature. Frames from the Ratti family era, before the brand joined Luxottica in 1995, are prized by collectors for their dense hand-finished acetate and classic Italian lines.
