Why We Love Them | Era & Relevance

Vintage. This is Persol from its Ratti era — the period before the brand was acquired by Luxottica in 1995, when frames were still produced at the original Turin factories under founder Giuseppe Ratti's manufacturing legacy. The round silhouette and silver arrow hardware are unmistakably Persol, and the blue-grey gradient lens gives this pair a cooler, more contemporary edge than the classic tortoise-and-brown pairing most associated with the brand.
