About this item

A vintage pair of 1970s square sunglasses in glossy solid black acetate, fitted with large solid amber-brown lenses. The bold, softly rounded square front has a straight bridge, and each thick temple carries two thin silver bands near the hinge, the decorative detail found on vintage Persol Ratti frames of the period. The temples open on metal spring hinges, and the inner temple is stamped "B3131 PATENT". Supplied in a brown Persol slip case with snap closure.
