About this item

A vintage pair of Persol sunglasses, model 6505, with the famous Meflecto flexible temples and the Persol silver arrow hinges. The glossy dark brown (near-black havana) acetate front has soft rounded-rectangle lenses and a sculpted keyhole bridge, fitted with solid brown lenses. The insides of the temples show the warm havana tortoise tone of the acetate. A compact 48 mm size with a classic, understated Italian look.

Brand heritage

Persol was founded in Turin, Italy, in 1917 by Giuseppe Ratti, and its name comes from "per il sole" (for the sun). The brand is known for its patented Meflecto system, flexible temple stems that adapt to the shape of the head for a more comfortable fit, and for the silver Supreme arrow hinge inspired by ancient warriors' swords, which became the Persol signature. Vintage Meflecto Persols are collected worldwide.
