How an icon comes to life.

Handmade in Italy.
Where it all began, a hundred years ago.

It all started in Turin. After all this time, Persol roots are still grounded in unmatched craftsmanship.
And even today, every frame it's made in Italy. Still by hand. Still scrupulously perfect, complex and precise.

First wonder: the Acetates.

A unique union of nature and tech. Acetate from​ cotton, powdery pigments: blended to form​ variations that can only be found in Persol sunglasses.
That's not all: using natural materials allows us to create color variations that are unique for each frame.

Second wonder: the Lenses.

Molten crystal separates and spins. Ripples, refines, then freezes like ice. Crystal lenses are born.
With the most precious optical materials, used to guarantee the best protection and visual clarity.

Third wonder: the Arrow.

An unmistakable form emerges from the dark: the Arrow.
Over the years and through all evolutions, this is what makes every Persol unmatchable. It's the unquestioned emblem of the Brand.
