About this item

A true 1960s Persol Ratti, model 6600, in thick glossy black acetate. The flat-top, softly rectangular front has a sculpted bridge and wide temples fitted with the famous Meflecto flexible system - the grooved segments and four silver pins just behind each hinge. Inside one temple: the Persol script logo and "6600"; inside the other: the oval "RATTI" badge and size "54". Original brown lenses.

Brand heritage

Persol was founded in Turin, Italy, in 1917 by Giuseppe Ratti, first making protective goggles for pilots and racing drivers; the name comes from "per il sole" (for the sun). Its Meflecto system of flexible temples, which bend to the shape of the head without pressure, became one of the brand's signatures. Frames from before Luxottica bought the company in 1995 are known as "Persol Ratti" and are collected for their hand-finished Italian acetate.
