The Persol Renzo 3357S sunglasses bring Italian architectural precision to a modern rectangular frame. Named after the clean lines and understated elegance of Italy's design heritage, the Renzo is a contemporary addition to Persol's storied lineup—built for those who want a refined, versatile frame without the bulk of vintage-inspired styles.
Italian Craftsmanship Meets Modern Design
Handmade in Italy from premium acetate, the 3357S features a full-rim rectangular shape with a slightly flat top that adds instant sophistication. The frame is available in multiple finishes: classic havana tortoise with green lenses, sleek black with polarized green lenses, warm miele (honey) with blue lenses, and two striking translucent options—milky depths blue and milky plum—that shift tone in different light. The tortoise variant shown here displays rich amber and brown tones that complement the green lenses beautifully.
Every pair carries Persol's signature Silver Arrow hinge on the temples. Inspired by the swords of ancient warriors, this iconic detail has been a brand hallmark since the 1930s and makes any Persol instantly recognizable. Look closely at the temples and you'll also see the subtle grooves of the Meflecto system—Persol's patented flexible temple technology that adapts to your head shape, eliminating pressure points during extended wear. The system uses internal metal cylinders and a flexible steel core, requiring over 10 additional production steps compared to standard frames.
Prescription-Ready and Built to Last
The Renzo 3357S is prescription-ready, so you can add your Rx lenses for everyday wear. Polarized options reduce glare and enhance contrast, making them ideal for driving or bright outdoor conditions. All lenses offer 100% UV protection. The acetate construction is lightweight yet durable—stronger and more flexible than standard plastic—and the single-bridge design ensures a stable, comfortable fit across different face shapes.
Available in two sizes (53mm and 56mm lens width), the 3357S works equally well for men and women. It's a unisex frame that pairs as naturally with a tailored coat as it does with casual weekend wear. If you're looking for a modern Persol that skips the retro vibe of the 649 or 714 but still delivers Italian quality and that unmistakable Arrow detail, the Renzo is your frame.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Persol Renzo 3357S sunglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Persol 3357S is fully prescription-ready. You can add single-vision or progressive prescription lenses to any variant. The acetate frame is designed to accommodate a wide range of prescriptions, and the rectangular shape provides ample lens area for optimal vision correction.
What is the Meflecto system on Persol sunglasses?
The Meflecto is Persol's patented flexible temple system, first introduced in the 1930s. It uses internal metal cylinders and a flexible steel core inside the acetate temples, allowing the frame to adapt to any head shape and eliminating pressure points. This technology requires over 10 additional production steps and is visible as the subtle grooves on the temples of the Renzo 3357S.
What does the Persol Silver Arrow mean?
The Silver Arrow is Persol's iconic hinge design, inspired by the swords of ancient warriors. It's been a signature element since the 1930s and appears on the temples of the Renzo 3357S. The Arrow serves both functional and aesthetic purposes, acting as a reinforced hinge while making every Persol frame instantly recognizable.
What sizes does the Persol 3357S come in?
The Persol Renzo 3357S is available in two lens widths: 53mm and 56mm. Both sizes feature a 19mm bridge and 145mm temple length. The 53mm works well for smaller to medium faces, while the 56mm suits medium to larger face shapes. The rectangular shape is unisex and designed to fit a wide range of face types.
Are Persol 3357S lenses polarized?
Polarization depends on the specific variant. The black frame (95/58) comes with polarized green lenses that eliminate glare and enhance contrast. Other colorways like the tortoise (24/31) feature standard green lenses, while some variants offer Transitions adaptive lenses. All lenses provide 100% UVA and UVB protection regardless of polarization.
How is the Persol Renzo 3357S different from the 3019S?
The Renzo 3357S features a more contemporary rectangular shape with a slightly flat top and cleaner lines inspired by Italian architecture, while the 3019S has a semi-square, slightly more compact silhouette. Both are acetate frames with the Meflecto system and Silver Arrow hinges, but the Renzo offers newer colorway options like milky plum and milky depths blue. The 3357S is positioned as a modern alternative to Persol's vintage-inspired models.

Persol Renzo 3357S vs. Similar Models: Which Frame Is Right for You?
If you're deciding between the Persol Renzo 3357S and other rectangular acetate frames in the Persol lineup, here's what sets each apart.
Renzo 3357S vs. Persol 3019S
The 3019S is a semi-square frame with a slightly more compact, retro-leaning silhouette. It starts at $155 (vs. $181 for the Renzo) and has earned strong customer reviews for its comfortable fit and classic Persol styling. The 3019S works particularly well for smaller to medium faces and is available in traditional colorways like Terra di Siena and havana.
The Renzo 3357S, by contrast, offers a more contemporary rectangular shape with a flat top and cleaner lines inspired by Italian architecture. It's available in unique translucent finishes (milky plum, milky depths blue) that aren't offered on the 3019S. If you want a modern Persol that feels fresh rather than vintage-inspired, the Renzo is the better choice. If you prefer a slightly smaller frame with a retro vibe and a lower entry price, go with the 3019S.
Renzo 3357S vs. Persol 3059S
The 3059S shares the same $181 starting price and rectangular acetate construction as the Renzo. Both are prescription-ready and feature the Meflecto flexible temple system. The key difference is design intent: the Renzo was created as a new icon inspired by architectural elegance, while the 3059S is a more straightforward rectangular frame without the same design story.
Choose the Renzo 3357S if you want the latest Persol design with expanded colorway options and a frame that reflects contemporary Italian style. The 3059S is a solid alternative if you prefer a proven model with a simpler aesthetic.
Why Choose the Renzo 3357S?
The Renzo stands out for its architectural inspiration, modern rectangular proportions, and unique colorway options. It's the frame for customers who want a Persol that feels current—not retro—while still delivering the brand's signature craftsmanship, Meflecto comfort, and Silver Arrow detailing. Available in two sizes and fully prescription-ready, it's a versatile choice for everyday wear.
