Italian heritage since 1917

Persol Dupes & Alternatives

Persol has been making eyewear in Turin since 1917, and more than a century later it remains one of the most recognizable Italian houses in the category. The brand's signatures are specific and hard to miss: the silver arrow hinge running along the temple, the flexible Meflecto stems patented in the 1930s, and the 714, introduced in 1938 as the first folding sunglass and later carried through decades of cinema on the faces of Steve McQueen, Marcello Mastroianni, and a long list of European leading men. Persol's design language, heavy, architectural acetates with crystalline tortoise tones and precise metalwork, has been widely admired and, inevitably, widely referenced by other makers. Prices typically land between roughly two hundred fifty and four hundred dollars, placing the brand in the premium tier. This page shows Persol's own frames alongside visually similar alternatives from other brands, reaching across budget, mid, and premium tiers so that the keyhole bridge, the arrow hinge silhouette, and the folding-frame shape can be compared openly. None of the alternatives shown are presented as identical to a Persol.
