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 began by making protective eyewear for pilots and racing drivers and became known worldwide for its high-quality Italian acetate frames and crystal lenses. Vintage Persol sunglasses from the Ratti era are collected around the world.
