About this item

A vintage pair of Persol sunglasses in a classic 1970s aviator shape. The translucent Havana tortoise acetate front fades to a lighter amber at the bottom of the rims, with a double bridge (a straight bar above the nose bridge) and large teardrop-square lenses in a pale olive-beige tint. The temples are fitted with Persol's patented Meflecto flexible system and carry the three silver bands near the hinge that mark vintage Persol frames of the Ratti era; the inner temple is stamped "58210 N PATENT". Supplied with a brown leather Persol slip case with snap closure, embossed with the Persol script logo and the Torino emblem, and stamped by the original retailer.

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 is known for its patented Meflecto system, flexible temple stems that adapt to the shape of the head for a more comfortable fit. Vintage Persol Ratti-era frames are collected worldwide.
