For the coming summer, Persol is launching ‘Vintage Celebration’ with new colours joining those selected from its historical archive
Along with the classic shades like, Virginia tobacco, coffee and Sienna, there are a number of extra colours that are inspired by the 60s, and emulate the mineral world. Obsidian, cobalt, garnet and amber, with special antiqued versions, enhance the look of the new Persol women’s and men’s models.
The exclusivity of Vintage Celebration is also emphasised by the fact that a selection of the new sun models feature only polar and photopolar lenses. Lightweight and comfortable – thanks to a thickness of only 1.8 millimetres – made of crystal glass using cutting-edge technologies and scrupulous craftsmanship, these lenses provide effective protection from radiation, and offer sharp vision.
Innovative features are also used in the new Persol Reflex Edition, a fascinating blend of design inspired by vintage cameras and the authentic style of the brand. For the two models of the collection, Persol now presents the folding sun and optical version, plus two new proposals that extend the family of this unisex collection.
‘Contrast’ is the keyword defining the style of the new Persol Contrasti eye-wear collection for men and women. The new model has fascinating retro lines with futuristic finishes and acetate rims with a metal frame on the top section. The colour contrasts are emphasized by the choice of double-layer acetates which are used for the first time in the Persol collection, due to the new eye-wear construction preventing the historical arrow from being ‘submerged’ in the acetate.
