Persol Ratti 807 folding sunglasses
Persol was established in 1917 in Turin, Italy by Giuseppe Ratti who had a vision to create high-quality eyewear that combined functionality with elegant design.
The Ratti era Persol's have become synonymous with timeless elegance and superior craftsmanship. The brand's name itself is derived from "per il sole," which means "for the sun" in Italian. Initially designed for pilots and sports drivers, Persol's eyewear quickly gained popularity for its fusion of functionality and style.
Renowned for its innovative designs and commitment to quality, Persol introduced patented features like the Meflecto system, offering unparalleled comfort by reducing pressure on the temples. Each piece reflects meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail, making Persol an icon of luxury eyewear embraced by discerning individuals seeking sophistication and enduring style.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our glasses come with detailed measurements in the product description.
The key measurement is the frame width, which is the distance from the inside of the right temple to the inside of the left temple. To ensure a perfect fit width-wise, we recommend measuring an existing frame that fits you comfortably, providing a valuable reference. For minor size concerns like nosepads and temple lengths, an optician can make adjustments.
