"I am ruled by the sun, you are ruled by the shadow" is a Latin proverb that translates to symbolize the action that Giuseppe Ratti, the creator of Persol, took to combine the best of both worlds in the brand’s sunglasses for men and women. In 1938, the company finally decided to develop revolutionary sunglasses with a perfect fit. The introduction of a memorable logo was a logical step. A silver arrow, based on antique short swords, has been chosen as the trademark of a timeless icon. Since then, this has not only marked the rise of the Turin company but has become a success story that has often been copied and never compared. One glance at the optics of the Italian manufacturer is enough to be convinced of the true embodiment of exclusivity: classic shapes are ideally combined with decorative elements, and color contrast is emphasized by fittings made of expensive alloys.
The Persol Titanium Eyewear Collection was created in 2020 as a result of cooperation between Italian craftsmen and Japanese masters. Two seemingly completely different cultures have combined their heritage and experience to create a unique line of frames. All models perpetuate a tribute to Japanese talent and Italian history. The desire to combine traditional craftsmanship with the most advanced technologies is what characterizes the Persol brand to this day. At the time, bold research and dedication to detail brought the eyewear manufacturer to the forefront of the optical industry and the pinnacle of frames and sunglasses.
The Persol Titanium Collection testifies to how this company has put together classic style and the most advanced craftsmanship. Each frame in the collection boasts temples in titanium with a guilloché engraving, a signature element of style and functionality. This detailed guilloché method, characterized by very small repeated patterns, adds not just beauty to these spectacles but also strength and lightness. Complementing this design, nose pads ensure a secure and comfortable fit, while Persol's signature Meflecto technology adds flexibility for a bespoke-like fit, adapting to the wearer's face. The Persol Titanium Collection comprises an upscale selection of sunglasses and optical frames, all of them with superior crystal glass lenses for great visibility and protection.
Polarized lens options are also available to suit different lighting conditions and one's preference for increased protection of the eyes. Each model in this collection is a perfect blend of Italian elegance and Japanese precision, indeed a reflection of craftsmanship and attention to detail that has become the hallmark of the Persol brand. Whether purely optical or as a sun protector, the Persol Titanium Collection is a unique and sophisticated choice for anyone who can appreciate the best in eyewear design.
Yes, all the models within the Persol Titanium Collection are fitted with lenses made of crystal glass-processed glass known for optical clearness and scratch resistance.

Persol has designed the Titanium Collection to be versatile and all-embracing for a myriad of face shapes. The flexible Meflecto design can ensure a comfortable and tailored fit while providing style, and useful design elements adjust the frames so that they can be changed for various looks and styles.
