Persol Sunglasses | Saint Bernard

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Persol known for?

Persol has made eyewear in Italy since 1917, and the name comes from a phrase meaning for the sun. The frames are recognized by the silver arrow at the temple, the keyhole bridge, and the flexible Meflecto stem system.

What materials does Persol use?

Handcrafted acetate for the frames and crystal glass for the lenses, with polarized options on several styles. Acetate is light and hypoallergenic, and it varies naturally in color from one frame to the next.

How does Persol sizing work?

Each frame lists three measurements: lens width, bridge width, and temple length, such as 54-20-145. Most styles here come in one size, and the heritage pilot shapes wear larger on the face than the numbers suggest.

What styles are in the Persol range here?

Pilot and aviator shapes including the 649 and its slimmer relative, rounded square and rectangle frames, a round phantos, and the squared Renzo. All are full rim acetate sunglasses with crystal lenses.

How do I care for Persol sunglasses?

Use the included soft cloth on the lenses instead of a shirt or paper towel, and keep them in the supplied case. Avoid leaving acetate frames on a dashboard or anywhere with sustained heat.

What do Persol sunglasses go with?

They suit simple, well made clothes: linen shirts, chambray, knit polos, sport coats, denim. Havana tortoise is the most flexible color, black the sharpest, and polarized lenses the most useful on water or the road.
