About this item

A large vintage pair of Persol Ratti sunglasses with the famous Meflecto flexible temples and the Persol silver arrow hinges. The havana tortoise acetate front has a big soft-square butterfly shape with a narrow sculpted bridge, fitted with solid brown lenses. The outer temple is stamped "Persol Meflecto Ratti" and the inner temple "SUN SHINE" with the Meflecto patent number. A glamorous 1970s oversized look with true Italian craftsmanship.

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, and for the silver Supreme arrow hinge, which became the Persol signature. Vintage Ratti-era Meflecto Persols are collected worldwide.
