The Persol 3315V eyeglasses bring over a century of Italian craftsmanship to a modern rectangular frame that works for the office, the weekend, and everything in between. These prescription-ready frames are built from premium acetate in seven distinct finishes—from classic black and rich Havana tortoise to the brand’s signature striped patterns in grey and brown—each one hand-polished at Persol’s factory near Turin.
Founded in 1917 by optician Giuseppe Ratti, Persol (from the Italian “per il sole,” meaning “for the sun”) has spent more than a hundred years perfecting the balance between function and design. The 3315V carries that legacy forward. Look closely at the temples and you’ll spot the Silver Arrow hinge—a detail inspired by the swords of ancient warriors and patented in the post-war era. It’s both a functional hinge and Persol’s calling card, instantly recognizable to anyone who knows quality eyewear.
The frame itself is a clean, confident rectangle with a 55mm lens width, 19mm bridge, and 145mm temples. The full-rim acetate construction feels substantial without being heavy, and the single-bridge design keeps the look streamlined. These frames are designed for men but suit anyone who prefers a bold, structured shape. The rectangular profile adds definition to rounder faces, and the generous lens size accommodates progressive and bifocal prescriptions without compromise.
Persol frames are handmade in Italy using traditional methods that haven’t changed much since Ratti’s day. Skilled artisans hand-polish each acetate frame, set the hinges, and assemble the temples with the kind of attention that mass production can’t match. The result is a pair of glasses that feels solid, fits comfortably, and holds up to daily wear. Acetate is naturally hypoallergenic, durable, and takes color beautifully—which is why Persol’s tortoise and striped finishes have so much depth.
The 3315V accepts prescription lenses of all types: single-vision, progressive, bifocal, even high-index for stronger prescriptions. Add anti-reflective coating, blue-light filtering, or Transitions lenses—the frame is built to handle it. If you need sun protection, clip-on lenses are compatible, or consider the Persol 3059S sunglasses (same rectangular DNA, polarized lenses). These are glasses you’ll wear every day and still reach for years from now.
