Persol eyeglasses represent over a century of Italian optical craftsmanship, and every frame in the collection honours that extraordinary heritage. Founded in Turin in 1917, Persol is celebrated for its Meflecto flexible stem system — a patented spring mechanism that allows the temples to adapt naturally to the wearer’s head shape, delivering unmatched comfort and a truly personalised fit. The frames themselves are cut from premium Mazzucchelli acetate and polished metal, materials that speak to an uncompromising standard of quality that has made Persol a favourite of screen legends, artists, and discerning eyewear collectors alike. The collection balances timeless silhouettes — including the iconic 649 and 714 styles — with contemporary updates that keep the aesthetic relevant for modern tastes. All Persol eyeglasses at ShopIShop are prescription-compatible, supporting single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses to ensure your refined choice works perfectly with your vision needs. If you are investing in frames that will age beautifully and hold their value over time, Persol is the benchmark.
