About this item

Vintage sunglasses by Persol from the Ratti era, stamped "RATTI 58200 PATENT" on the inside of the temple. A large soft-square front in glossy black acetate with a straight, sculpted bridge, fitted with solid brown tinted lenses. The black temples carry three inlaid silver-tone bands near the hinge and the silver script "Persol" logo on the outside.

Brand heritage

Persol was founded in Turin, Italy, in 1917 by Giuseppe Ratti; the name comes from the Italian "per il sole" (for the sun). Frames made under the Ratti name are sought after by collectors of Italian eyewear.
