Brand History
Persol
Always been one of the best, in style, in quality, but mostly in fashion. Born in 1917 - brand created by Giuseppe Ratti - initially designed for aviators & sportsmen. They very soon became famous in all our peninsula (one year later, Gabriele D'Annunzio wore a pair - designed and created for the occasion - during his famous flight above Vienna (1918).
Interesting to know is their name, which comes from 2 Italian words: "PER" and "SOLE", which means "for the sun".
In the 90s Persol was bought from Luxottica, International leader in sunglasses & lenses.
Persol's most famous model, "649" was requested by many Persol fans who needed a sunglass pair which would protect their eyes from dust, sun & wind. Marcello Mastroianni's most popular pictures immortalized Persol's 649 models, in various colors.
OPHERTY & CIOCCI's Persol collection features many "6" & "8" Persol's Vintage models, including their 649, and their famous "foldable" edition.
Steve McQueen, Greta Garbo, Messner, and some of our Italian actors/models such as Ornella Muti and Carol Alt are only a few of Persol fans.
