A Brief History Of Persol

Persol was first founded in 1917 by Giuseppe Ratti, and its name is derived from the Italian term “per il sole,” meaning “for the sun.” Its trademark is a silver arrow, which is often seen on the temple arms of their sunglasses and eyeglasses.

Persol was originally founded to market sunglasses to pilots and sports drivers, but over the years, it has expanded into offering a full range of sunglasses and eyeglasses.

It first arrived in the US in 1962, and continued to expand, opening a flagship store in Beverly Hills in 1991. In 1995, Persol was sold to eyewear giant Luxottica, which also owns Oliver Peoples, Burberry, Oakley, and Ray-Ban, to name just a few.
