The history of Persol glasses extends back almost 100 years. Quality and genuine Italian style gave the brand worldwide fame and popularity.
Similarly
to another legendary brand, Ray Ban, the first Persol glasses were created in
1917 for pilots. They were named Protector, and shortly after the launch,
brought the company global reputation.
In 1920 the
company issued the first-ever lens of yellowish-brown color, made of
high-purity quarz and providing maximal protection from ultraviolet rays, which
later became Persl trademark.
By 1930
Persol gained popularity across the world, a status which the company retains
up to present day, being one of the most reputable and famous manufacturers of
glasses.
The name ‘Persol’
derives from Italian ‘per ir sole’ and can be translated as ‘against sun’. The
company indeed pays great attention to the protection of the eyes.
The distinctive
feature of Persol is the usage of pure quarz in the manufacture of lenses.
Another peculiarity is the specialized element Meflecto, which is made of metal
and nylon. The latter element is located on the temples and ensures excellent
adaptability to any face type. Every pair of glasses is assembled manually,
guaranteeing top quality.
Many
celebrities were seen wearing Persol glasses, including Pierce Brosnan, Daniel
Craig, Ornella Muti and others. Thanks to their protective qualities these
glasses are especially popular among the fans of extreme and active lifestyles,
such as alpinists, parajumpers, and travelers.
