Persol Ratti Laos eyeglasses
Established in 1917 by Giuseppe Ratti in Turin Italy, Persol envisioned eyewear that merged functionality with elegant design. The Ratti-era Persol frames symbolize timeless elegance and superior craftsmanship, derived from the Italian phrase "per il sole" (for the sun). Originally crafted for pilots and sports drivers, Persol gained renown for blending functionality with style. Known for innovation and quality, Persol patented features like the Meflecto system, ensuring comfort by relieving temple pressure. Each piece showcases meticulous craftsmanship, defining Persol as a symbol of luxury eyewear for sophisticated, style-conscious individuals.
We are proud to present these Persol Laos eyeglasses from the 80s. Crafted during the Ratti family era these panto-style sunglasses feature a captivating golden frame accented with silver details. These frames can be fitted with both sun and optical lenses. What a great frame and piece of history, they don't make them like this anymore!

Frequently Asked Questions

Our glasses come with detailed measurements in the product description.
The key measurement is the frame width, which is the distance from the inside of the right temple to the inside of the left temple. To ensure a perfect fit width-wise, we recommend measuring an existing frame that fits you comfortably, providing a valuable reference. For minor size concerns like nosepads and temple lengths, an optician can make adjustments.
