Persol 803 Tortoise Shell Sunglasses
Vintage Persol 803 sunglasses feature a fantasic tortoise shell frame with alternating light and dark shadings reminiscent of a leopard, a style and quality it seems only the Italians can get right. The Persol 803 is a nice mix of curves and angles, a classic style that's equally at home at formal or casual occasions. These Persol Ratti 803 sunglasses were produced in Persol's Ratti manufactury reserved for their highest quality production and feature the Meflecto system unique to vintage Persol sunglasses. The Persol Meflecto system system consists of tiny cylinders inserted by a craftsman process into the ear stems to render them flexible, thereby assuring maximum comfort and snugness of fit. Persol marketing literature from the period notes that the Meflecto system offers "excellent functionality and perfect fitting to the wearer's face" along with a "smart design and exceptional solidity of construction". The unisex Persol 803 frame measures approximately 5.5" temple to temple, and the brown mineral glass lenses measure approximately 2.0" x 1.675" at the widest points with both lenses laser etched with the round trademark Persol logo. You'll find the Persol silver arrow hinges on the exterior of both ear stems, and the inside of one stem is marked 147 41 Ratti Made in Italy while the inside of the other stem is marked Persol 803 52.
