The Persol 3108S sunglasses bring Italian craftsmanship and vintage-inspired design together in a round frame that works for both men and women. Part of the Typewriter Edition collection, these sunglasses pay tribute to the golden age of writing with thoughtful details throughout—from the keyboard letter-style decoration on the metal bridge to the engraved temple tips that evoke the metal bars inside classic typewriters.
What sets Persol apart is the patented Meflecto system, first developed in the 1930s and still considered one of the most advanced comfort innovations in eyewear. The temples contain a flexible core of harmonic steel intersected with nylon or metal cylinders, requiring over 10 additional production steps compared to standard frames. This allows the temples to bend and adapt to your unique head shape without permanently deforming, distributing pressure evenly and reducing the headaches and discomfort that rigid frames can cause during extended wear.
Each pair is handcrafted in Italy from premium acetate, available in multiple finishes including classic black, striped brown tortoise, and rich havana. The full-rim construction provides durability and lens security, while the 49mm lens width (49-22-145 measurements) offers a comfortable fit for small to medium faces. The frames feature Persol’s signature silver arrow logo on the temples—a mark of authenticity since 1917.
These sunglasses are prescription-ready, so you can add your Rx lenses for clear vision with UV protection. Available lens options include polarized variants that cut glare, gradient tints, and Transitions adaptive lenses. All lenses provide 100% UVA and UVB protection to shield your eyes from harmful rays.
