Marcello Mastroianni wore a pair in Divorce Italian Style four years later and the tram connection was quietly forgotten. The lenses are actual crystal, the temples flex on the Meflecto system, and the whole thing is still made in Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Persol","offers":[{"title":"ONE SIZE \/ Havana","offer_id":44205848133754,"sku":"J3FPXCBX9GG294","price":238.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0491\/9773\/files\/0PO0649-24-31-OS_01__1100x1100_q90_qc1.webp?v=1789320421"},{"product_id":"persol-0po3292s-24-31-52-sunglasses-havana-green","title":"Persol 0PO3292S 24\/31 52 Sunglasses Havana \/ Green","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand made Italian acetate frame in Havana\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreen crystal lenses, which in Persol's language means mineral glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot polarised\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e52mm lens width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeyhole bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeflecto flexible stems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupreme Arrow at the temple hinge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePersol case and cleaning cloth included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiuseppe Ratti started Persol in Turin in 1917, making glasses for aviators and racing drivers, and the name is short for per il sole, for the sun. Two things have carried through since: the Meflecto system, metal cylinders set into the arms so they flex to the shape of your head rather than grip it, and the Supreme Arrow at the hinge. The lenses here are green crystal, which for Persol means actual mineral glass. A squarer archive shape than the 649 everyone knows.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Persol","offers":[{"title":"ONE SIZE \/ Havana \/ Green","offer_id":44207221178490,"sku":"7I80PS5CZXQQP8Z","price":258.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0491\/9773\/files\/0PO3292S-24-31-OS_01__1100x1100_q90_qc1.webp?v=1789320433"}],"url":"https:\/\/oipolloi.com\/collections\/persol.oembed","provider":"Oi Polloi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
