Introduced in the 1960s as a folding version of the 649 model, the 714 were the first-ever folding glasses. This model requires ten additional manufacturing steps compared to the standard ones. Designed and crafted in Italy, Persol - from the Italian "per il sole" meaning "for the sun" - is a favorite among taste-makers and celebrities for its impeccable fit and incredible clarity. The brand's patented Meflecto temples offer a secure fit, while crystal-tempered sunglass lenses provide protection with distortion-free vision. With a brand character that can best be described as classy, exclusive, stylish, and unique, Persol continues to go beyond trends.
