About this item

A 1960s Persol model 6200 in thick, glossy black acetate with a bold, rounded-rectangle shape and slightly upswept outer corners. The silver Persol arrow sits on each front corner, the temples carry the ribbed Meflecto flexible section, and the lenses are a warm brown gradient.

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.
