Persol, derived from the Italian phrase "per il sole" (for the sun), was founded in 1917 by Giuseppe Ratti, an Italian optician. Ratti designed the first Persol eyewear to protect pilots and sports drivers. These early round lenses, known as Protector glasses, quickly became popular among military forces worldwide.
In the 1930s, Persol expanded into creating comfortable eyeglasses and sunglasses, introducing the patented Meflecto system. This innovative technology features flexible stems that adapt to any face shape or head size, providing a comfortable and secure fit. The iconic Persol arrow, inspired by ancient warriors' swords, appears on the hinges of every frame. Persol gained wider recognition when actor Steve McQueen wore a pair of Persol sunglasses, solidifying the brand's status as a symbol of style and sophistication. Today, Persol continues to offer innovative designs and timeless silhouettes.
Persol combines over a century of experience with cutting-edge technology to create eyewear that is both stylish and comfortable. The Meflecto system, integrated into every frame, eliminates pressure from the temples by allowing the frame to adapt to the shape of the head. This results in a more comfortable and stable fit.
Persol's photochromic lenses adjust to changing light conditions, enhancing visual comfort and clarity. Each pair of Persol glasses reflects the brand's dedication to style and precision, showcasing Italian craftsmanship in every detail.
At Modern Optical, we guarantee that all Persol eyewear is authentic, evident in the exceptional quality of the frames and lenses, branded packaging, signature glasses case, and Persol certificate of authenticity included with each pair.
