Persol La Casa De Papel Eyewear Collection
Made by Persol, Inspired by Netflix
When you're making eyewear, inspiration can come literally from anything. Even from something as eyewear-unrelated as Netflix. That's exactly what happened to Persol that day when they woke up and had this genius idea to create a collection of eyeglasses dedicated to the fabulous 'Money Heist' series. A collection that eventually hit the shelves as La Casa De Papel. In each of the new models, the limited capsule edition contains some kind of a nod to the series' cherished setting and characters (including, of course, the unforgettable Professor). We haven't seen anything like that in Persol's entire eyewear legacy. And that just makes the collection even more intriguing and your hands itchy to try these amazing glasses on asap.
Showcasing the label's top-of-the-top-segment style and incorporating all of the breakthrough solutions that made Persol what it is today in the first place, La Casa De Papel projects the same rebellious spirit wrapped into a sleek, sophisticated package as the TV series. The overall vibe is a magnetic mix of no-rules boldness and no-compromise suavity, with each element hinting at the style of the beloved heroes and their recognizable attributes. Made of premium materials like high-quality acetate, titanium, and stainless steel, these glasses exemplify how you can infuse some fresh, naughty, and delicious energy into your established finesse if only you look around and get inspired by something that seemingly doesn't have the slightest connection to what you do. Well, Persol has always had a passion for roaming off the beaten eyewear design track!
Style Features and Design Nuances
- A Character Behind Each Model: Persol's La Casa de Papel glasses are not just glasses; they are 'Money Heist' characters rolled into eyewear designs. Whatever model you take, you will definitely recognize the shadow behind it (or even if you won't guess immediately, you are sure to go 'aha!' once you hear the name). A little bit of fan service never hurts.
- Pure Luxury: Persol has never been skimpy on luxury in their eyewear. But La Casa de Papel takes it to the next level with its 24-carat gold-plated lenses. That's right, the lenses are coated in genuine gold, and you're wearing a tiny treasure on your nose when you opt for a pair from this collection. Quite in line with 'Money Heist' and surely befitting any evil genius!
- Personalized Monograms: If you want your pair to be branded as uniquely yours, Persol offers a way to do it. When ordering a La Casa De Papel frame, you can opt for it to have a personalized monogram. This is a minor touch, but it's personal and, well, just cool.
- Iconic Meflecto System: Being a criminal mastermind involves streamlined thinking and behaving in a way that is calculated and thought through down to every little thing. Much like Persol's legendary Meflecto system that also makes its way into La Casa De Papel. The temples in the new collection have a bunch of tiny cylinders inside them rather than a solid wire core. Shifting and bending in ways other temples can't, these glasses offer a level of flexibility you couldn't even imagine.
- Signature Arrow Rivets: Every pair of Persol eyeglasses has these tiny shiny arrows embellishing the end pieces. And they are much in line with the whole upscale, rouge luxury message the La Casa De Papel collection is putting across. The arrows are not just for fancy's sake though; they also add another layer of durability to the construction, helping to keep the glasses together no matter how often and how gently (or not) you fold and unfold them.
The Professor Would Love It
The central piece in Persol's La Casa De Papel collection is the PO3160V, or simply El Professor. Boasting a classic aviator design, they are sleek, bold, and yet have this classy refinement about them. The double-bridge rests gracefully over your nose, offering a soft, skin-friendly fit thanks to being made out of premium acetate, a material that is notably lightweight and hypoallergenic. The silky texture looks equally impressive in basic black and showcases the material's lucidity beautifully in the luxurious smoke opal and opal beige. The denim blue color option is also added for an understated charm, while the rich Havana palettes complete the picture. Vintage, intellectual, and daring—that's the vibe El Professor delivers.
Want to look just like your favorite villain while enjoying the bright sun? The model is also available as sunglasses, named El Professor Sergio. They copy the style of its eyeglass counterpart down to every glossy element, throwing in top-notch UV protection and some dazzling lens tints. Persol is known to offer some of the best lenses in the market, and it has made sure the La Casa De Papel collection lives up to that high mark. Perfect optical clarity, enhanced contrasts, and reduced glare—all of this can be well expected when you're leaving the store with a pair of these in your hand (or maybe right on your nose). Whether you choose eyeglasses or sunglasses (the recommended option is both! ), you can be sure of one thing... No, actually two things—you're getting premium functionality and premium style. What can we say? Persol knows how to be unpredictable in its design, but it also knows how to stay predictable in quality. La Casa De Papel is wearable proof of that.
