About this item

A classic squared Persol Ratti frame in glossy black acetate with a keyhole bridge and slim metal bridge bar. The temples carry Persol's patented Meflecto system, with three silver bands near each hinge, and the frame is fitted with brown gradient lenses. A timeless, masculine Persol shape.

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.
