Italy's Persol were one of the world's first producers of sunglasses. Designed as a more practical variant of the 649 model, the 714 sunglasses were the first foldable frames to reach the market upon their launch in 1960. The precision construction of the 714 frames entails 10 additional production stages compared to Persol's other models. Handmade in Italy. The frames are moulded by hand in a particularly thick and solid acetate. Polarised, blue-tinted lenses offering 100% UV protection. Filter category 3 (scale 0-4), dark lenses. Persol's iconic arrow emblem on the sidepieces. Flexible Meflecto steel reduces pressure on the temples. Presented in a Persol leather case with cleaning cloth.
