Discover Persol sunglasses: Italian elegance in the sun

Choosing a pair of Persol sunglasses means opting for an iconic fashion accessory that has stood the test of time with unwavering elegance. Each frame is handcrafted in Italy with rare artisanal precision and provides exceptional visual comfort thanks to high-performance sun lenses. It’s also a brand that masterfully combines aesthetics and technology, notably with the famous Meflecto system – the world’s first flexible temple design. For those who love this unique signature in everyday life, Persol eyeglasses carry the same timeless spirit with finesse. If you appreciate this level of detail and heritage style, you may also be drawn to Oliver Peoples sunglasses, another iconic house known for its refined, understated charm.

Turin icons: from the 649 to the 714

Vintage design lovers will appreciate the Persol 714 collection, featuring foldable frames with timeless appeal and instantly recognizable lines. The PO0714 Steve McQueen model, especially in the Havana Tortoise color, remains a must-have for anyone looking to buy sunglasses with history. Another essential: the Persol 649 series, originally created for tram drivers in Turin, which still captivates with its rounded shapes and bold character.

For him, for her, for you

At Visiofactory, you’ll find models perfectly suited for both men and women, available in various sizes (small, medium, large) to fit all face shapes. Whether you're looking for men's sunglasses with a square shape or women's frames with a cat-eye or butterfly silhouette, each pair is designed to complement your facial features. Fans of oversized, round, oval, or rectangular styles will also find plenty of options in our wide selection of frames.

Lenses that frame the world

Polarized lenses are one of Persol’s greatest strengths. By filtering reflected light, they reduce glare and provide optimal protection against UV rays, all while enhancing contrast and clarity. For those seeking added comfort, some models also come with photochromic lenses that adjust to ambient light, or corrective lenses available as an option. Tinted or gradient lenses add an extra touch of elegance to the collection.

Italian craftsmanship, down to the last detail

Every Persol frame is crafted from premium materials such as acetate, mineral glass, or polycarbonate in some models. Finishes range from tortoiseshell and transparent to matte, shiny black or even gold, with modern touches like opal gray or mirrored effects. These materials ensure that your sunglasses are lightweight, scratch-resistant, and comfortable — while remaining highly durable against daily wear.

Sunglasses and sun: a signature Persol duo

Thanks to their polarized lenses, Persol sunglasses are ideal for driving, coastal walks, or mountain getaways. They shield your eyes from blue light, glare, and harsh sunlight, all while keeping your style sharp. And if you need vision correction, Persol sunglasses can be fitted with optional corrective, progressive, or anti-reflective lenses — a simple way to combine sun protection, clear vision, and Italian elegance.

Film is in Persol’s DNA

The brand draws inspiration from Italian culture, classic cinema, and local craftsmanship. Think of the legendary Persol Steve McQueen frames, or collaborations like the Casa de Papel editions and the Typewriter Series — all paying tribute to art in its many forms. This unique blend of retro design, modern functionality, and natural charisma defines Persol. That same cinematic DNA can also be found in Moscot sunglasses, a vintage-inspired brand from New York, or in the Gregory Peck collection from Oliver Peoples, directly inspired by the silver screen.

The art of caring for your sunglasses

To maintain their brilliance and performance, we recommend keeping your Persol sunglasses in their original case and cleaning them regularly with a microfiber cloth. Lenses can be gently washed with warm water and mild soap, avoiding abrasive products. Thanks to their robust construction, Persol frames withstand daily wear well — but good care always extends their lifespan.

Protection worthy of iconic brands

All Persol sunglasses offered on Visiofactory come with high-level UV protection, filtering both UVA and UVB rays. This shielding is essential for maintaining eye health against harmful ultraviolet exposure. You'll also find models tailored to specific needs like sports sunglasses or pairs equipped with polarized lenses — ideal for a bright day outdoors.

Between legacy and modernity: the new collections

The latest Persol releases highlight warm tones like Havana, Terra di Siena, or Honey Yellow, paired with bold and modern silhouettes. Many models are available in a range of colors: black, gray, violet, beige, or even transparent. Some feature gold metal finishes for a more refined look. If you're seeking a new pair of designer sunglasses that blend elegance, character, and timeless appeal — you’ve just found it.
