About this item

A vintage pair of Persol sunglasses, model 6286 T, in glossy solid black acetate. The bold flat-top front has a straight, thick brow line, a keyhole-style bridge and large squared pilot-shape lenses in a light khaki-beige tint. Each temple carries Persol's Meflecto flexible section with four metal rivets and grooves near the hinge. The inner temple is stamped "6286 T" and carries the Persol script logo. Supplied with a brown wood-grain Persol slip case with snap closure, embossed with the Persol script and logo.

Brand heritage

Persol was founded in Turin, Italy, in 1917 by optician Giuseppe Ratti; the name comes from "per il sole" (for the sun). The company began with protective goggles for pilots and racing drivers, and its patented Meflecto flexible temple system became one of its signature details. Frames from the Ratti era, before Persol was acquired by Luxottica in 1995, are especially sought after by collectors.
