About this item

A classic 1960s Persol Ratti in glossy black acetate, with a clean rectangular front, small silver rivets at the corners and the Persol silver arrow on each temple. The temples use the grooved Meflecto flex system with small silver dots. The lenses are a light brown / beige tint, so the pair works as light sunglasses or everyday tinted glasses.

Brand heritage

Persol was founded in Turin, Italy, in 1917 by optician Giuseppe Ratti; the name comes from "per il sole" ("for the sun"). Persol introduced the patented Meflecto flexible temple in the late 1930s, and its silver arrow, inspired by ancient swords, is one of the best-known marks in eyewear. Vintage Persol Ratti frames made in Italy are widely collected.
