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 sports drivers and became one of the most collected names in Italian eyewear. Frames signed "Persol Ratti" date from the period when the company was still run by the Ratti family, which makes them especially sought after by vintage collectors.
