Persol Glasses

Persol glasses are amongst the most highly rated and sought-after glasses on the market today. With over 100 years of industry knowledge and experience, this reputation has been earned through innovation and a commitment to quality design. There is plenty of variety across the full range of Persol eyeglasses, but the brand’s strong identity is visible in each pair.  

 

Are Persol glasses Italian? 

Yes, Persol is an Italian brand. Giuseppi Ratti founded the company in 1917 in Turin, Italy, initially producing protective eyewear for athletes and pilots. The Italian military were quick to adopt his designs, and others soon followed, including the USA. The name Persol was chosen in 1938, coming from “per il sole” meaning “for the sun” in Italian, obviously referring to Persol’s sunglasses collections.

 

Italy is known for many things, refined style and quality craftsmanship being two of them, and Persol glasses are the perfect example of these features. Most Persol frames are derived from classic styles, like the many round variations, and make use of timeless colour options like black and tortoiseshell. Persol glasses also come in a number of more contemporary styles, with a host of clear plastic frames added to their offerings in recent years.

 

Are Persol glasses high-end?

There is no doubt that Persol makes high end eyewear. Persol frames are made from premium quality materials, and the manufacturing process has been fine-tuned over more than a century, constantly evolving with the times. The wearer’s needs are given the utmost consideration, and the proof is in the range of features available. Lightweight frames are an option for a less intrusive feel, and pocket-friendly folding glasses are perfect for those who are always on the go.
