Persol: Made in the Shade




So the weather has been incredible and I need some new sunglasses. I decided on getting a nice pair of Persols. Why you ask? Because not only are they a classic, but they are also entirely too fly.

History: Persol is an Italian eyewear company specializing in sunglasses. The name is derived from "per il sole," which, in Italian, means "for the sun." Formed in 1917 by Giuseppe Ratti, Persol originally catered to pilots and sports drivers. Presently, the company is famous for its durable sports sunglasses. Its trademark is the silver arrow, and several of the company's glasses feature this symbol.
