The original eyewear brand for the jetsetter, Persol commenced life in 1917 when Giuseppe Ratti, working as an optician for his family’s business in Turin, invented the Protector, a glare-reflective pair of sunglasses in response to pilot’s tales of the occupational hazard of the blinding sun. Persol an acyronym of “per il sole” (for the sun) was born shortly thereafter and a dedicated clientele of race car and motorcycle drivers of the day and style icons promptly followed. The brand went onto forge close ties with the world of cinema, ties which remain strong today. Over a century on, the brand remains committed to the pursuit of excellence, outstanding quality and processes and the drive for innovation. Every pair of Persol glasses is a masterpiece of engineering and craftsmanship. The production process still includes more than thirty different stages, combining first-class materials, refined artisan expertise and painstaking attention to detail with leading- edge technology while heritage is observed with each frame still handmade in Turin where the story began.

“Sunglasses are already a daily necessity for many and even more so when on vacation. Oetker Collection’s hotels are the epitome of elegance and situated in the world’s most beautiful locations, so we are thrilled to offer their discerning guests a chic accessory with a pair of Persol sunglasses to complement their fabulous surroundings and hopefully enhance their look,” said Riccardo Pozzoli, Persol Brand Director.
