The Persol 3171S sunglasses bring 1940s-inspired elegance into a modern pantos shape that works across face types. The rounded silhouette softens angular features while the flat keyhole bridge adds vintage character without feeling dated.
These frames feature Persol’s patented Meflecto flexible temple system. Tiny cylinders of nylon or metal are inserted into the acetate temples and intersected with a flexible steel core. The result is temples that adapt to your head shape and eliminate pressure points, making the 3171S comfortable for all-day wear.
The signature Supreme Arrow adorns each temple, a detail that’s identified Persol eyewear since founder Giuseppe Ratti established the brand in Turin in 1917. The full-rim acetate construction is available in classic Havana tortoise, warm Terra di Siena, and gradient lens options ranging from green crystal to azure blue.
The 3171S is fully compatible with prescription lenses, including bifocals and progressives. Available in 49mm and 52mm eye sizes with a 20mm bridge and 145mm temples, the frame accommodates a range of fits. UV protection is standard across all lens variants, with polarized options available in select colors.
The pantos shape is less bulky than the iconic 649 or folding 714 models, but with enough presence to make a statement. It works in casual and formal settings.
