About this item

An original Persol Ratti 58104 from the 1980s, made in Italy. The bold squared front is cut from translucent olive-brown striated acetate with a sculpted keyhole bridge and ribbed outer corners. Each temple carries three polished metal rings, Persol's flexible Meflecto construction, and the inner temple is stamped 58104 PATENT and 50-70. Fitted with solid brown lenses and offered with a Persol box, hard case and cleaning cloth.

Brand heritage

Persol was founded in Turin, Italy, in 1917 by optician Giuseppe Ratti, whose first products were protective glasses for aviators and sportsmen; the name comes from "per il sole" (for the sun). In the late 1930s the company introduced the Meflecto flexible-temple system, with small metal cylinders set into the acetate temple to reduce pressure on the head, and the silver arrow became the brand's signature. Frames made in the Ratti era are sought after by collectors for their Italian acetate work and engineering.
