Persol | 649 1091/AN

Founded in Italy over a century ago Persol’s iconic designs and style innovations have made it both a legend and a symbol of Italian design, quality and timeless elegance. 

The 649 model is Persol’s most recognized design introduced in 1957. This full-rim frame in dark havana features lenses made from quartz (mineral crystal), which makes sunglasses scratch-proof. The lenses come with brown color and have 100% protection from sun harmful UV rays. They are also polarized which means that they reduce light glare and eye strain and improve vision and safety in the sun. Made from cellulose acetate (lightweight and hypoallergenic plastic) this model features all of Persol’s hallmarks, including the iconic Silver Arrow, Meflecto System and Victor Flex technology. Meflecto was the world’s first flexible stem system, ensuring that the frames adapt to fit the unique shape of every face. Victor Flex is the three-notch bridge which creates comfortable curves and improves fitting. This model is complemented with a keyhole bridge, which is a nod to the past in forward motion.
