When selecting quality eyewear, few brands offer the heritage and precision of Persol. Handcrafted in Italy and recognised for their distinctive design language, Persol frames reflect decades of optical expertise. You can browse the Persol sunglasses collection at Parasol Store to view styles designed for clarity, comfort, and long-term wear.
A Legacy of Craftsmanship
Founded in 1917 in Turin, Persol — short for per il sole, meaning “for the sun” — originally produced protective eyewear for aviators and racing drivers. Over time, the brand has become one of Italy’s most respected eyewear makers, known for meticulous craftsmanship and consistent quality standards.
Each pair continues to be manufactured in Italy, reflecting a long-standing commitment to durability and wearer comfort. Signature elements such as the Meflecto temple system provide flexibility for a more adaptable fit. At the same time, the recognisable arrow hinge draws inspiration from historical design cues and serves as both a visual marker and a functional component.
What Sets Persol Apart
Persol focuses on refined design rather than short-lived trends. The frames are designed to remain relevant across evolving styles, making them a dependable choice for daily wear and travel.
Whether paired with a Portuguese Flannel shirt or casual pieces from Carhartt WIP, Persol sunglasses integrate easily into a wide range of personal styles without overwhelming them.
