## Overview

The Persol PO0714 Aviator Sunglasses are a masterclass in Italian craftsmanship, featuring a unique folding design first introduced in the 1960s. Made from premium acetate with patented Meflecto temples, these sunglasses offer a secure, comfortable fit and crystal-tempered green polarized lenses with 100% UV protection. Designed for the discerning professional who values timeless style, durability, and exclusivity, the PO0714 comes with a protective case, making it the ultimate blend of heritage and modern functionality.

## Description

Introduced in the 1960s as a folding version of the 649 model, the 714 were the first-ever folding glasses. This model requires ten additional manufacturing steps compared to the standard ones. Designed and crafted in Italy, Persol - from the Italian "per il sole" meaning "for the sun" - is a favorite among taste-makers and celebrities for its impeccable fit and incredible clarity. The brand's patented Meflecto temples offer a secure fit, while crystal-tempered sunglass lenses provide protection with distortion-free vision. With a brand character that can best be described as classy, exclusive, stylish, and unique, Persol continues to go beyond trends.

Review: Incredible craftsmanship and details - For the past ten years or so, Ray-Ban has had a major comeback and been all the rage amongst higher-end sunglasses. Nearly everyone I know has a pair of wayfarers or clubmasters (myself included). But there's an immediate difference you can feel when you hold or wear a pair of Persols versus Ray-Bans or Oakleys or other $100+ plastic sunglasses, and that's craftmanship. Where as the latter feel mass produced and unoriginal and, dare I say cheap, the Persols have a solid weight to them, an array of gorgeous details, and both a seemingly paradoxical blend of history/legacy and originality. ESPECIALLY true for this model. The folding/hinge mechanisms are a demonstration of form and function - they look beautiful and perform solidly. These glasses are beautiful but do not feel flimsy at all. I love even holding the small, palm-sized pouch containing my perfectly folded up pair of Persols. The only thing I'm even slightly miffed by is that the narrowest model is still to wide for me - they will eventually slide down my face, or, worse, if I bend over, fall straight to the ground. However, that's nothing a leash like Croakies couldn't fix. Additionally, I want to call out desertcart's spectacular customer service here. A third party seller accidentally sent me the wrong pair of sunglasses. desertcart went above and beyond to remedy the mistake. They not only told me to keep the other pair (also Persols, not cheap) but they refunded me the full amount so that I could place a new third party order for the correct pair. In this day and age, that was such a wonderful experience.
Review: The Perfect Sunglasses, Hands-Down! - Apart from the Steve McQueen 60s and 70s chic, this is an overall excellent pair of glasses. It has a timeless elegance and it can be worn by anyone no matter young or old as the 714s have stayed faithful to their original 60s design. It just flatters your face no matter the circumstances as it has a versatility no other sunglasses have and the vintage cool look can be either formal or casual. Personally this is my third pair of 714s over a span of 15 years and they've been extremely resistant and durable. I don't fold them very often (so if you're not after this feature, perhaps the 649s would be better value-wise) but the style alone justifies the price. And with the discounted price on desertcart, I don't see any reason why anyone wouldn't go for a pair of Persols over some flimsy generic Ray Bans. I can't see any issue with them; only perhaps that they're nearly impossible to get them lensed (or re-lensed) as not many places accept the responsibility and the lenses are generally extremely expenses. But otherwise, 100% worth the price. In fact, buy a second pair!

### ⭐ Scratches on “new” Persol frames
*by I***C on August 12, 2023*

I just received my Persol Aviator sunglasses, model 714. Cool glasses; however, I expected a brand-new item from a luxury brand with stringent quality control standards from Italy. They should have arrived in a presentable and unworn state. Unfortunately, these glasses appear to be refurbished. They arrived dirty, with fingerprints and scratches covering the frame. I have purchased these glasses before in brand-new condition without these flaws. It's disappointing to find $400 glasses with such frame scratches, which I consider unacceptable.
