Steve McQueen and Persol glasses, a great story

Persol Steve McQueen glasses, the meeting of two legends

The destinies of actor Steve McQueen and the Italian Persol sunglasses brand seemed destined to cross paths.

If Dr. House names his rat after this cinema legend in one of his episodes, it is no coincidence. It is also no small thing to come across Flash McQueen in both animated films Cars and Cars 2. A great friend of Bruce Lee, the actor made headlines on many occasions…

The world's highest-paid film star in '74, it was while filming The Thomas Crown Affair that Steve McQueen launched the fame of Persol sunglasses. $70,200 — that is the price reached by this iconic pair of sunglasses sold at auction by the actor's widow. The dream publicity for the brand, which dedicated a special edition to him almost 40 years after his death.

The Persol 714 sunglasses are therefore among the most trending accessories in the world of men's sunglasses.

With a folding glasses system at its center, the Persol folding sunglasses fit very easily into small cases. Moreover, thanks to the Meflecto device developed by the brand in the 1930s, pressure on the temples is greatly reduced. The Telatura technology, also unique to Persol sunglasses, enhances their comfort by softening the edges on the lower part of the bridge.

From the frame to the lens, through the temples, all the components of the Persol Steve McQueen glasses and other models from the brand display optimal aesthetics and finishing quality.

Persol Steve McQueen glasses and every pair from the brand are also easily identifiable thanks to the Supreme Arrow, connecting the temple to the frame. An element that Giuseppe Ratti, the founder of the Persol sunglasses brand, described as his "workhorse".

The fashion icon of the 1970s, king of cool, maintained a special relationship with the Persol sunglasses brand for many years. He owned an impressive personal collection, testament to his passion. The 714 is nonetheless one of his favorite pairs, with its blue lenses and folding system.

You now know everything about the reputation of the Persol PO 714, to which Steve McQueen contributed enormously. Sunglasses you absolutely cannot miss!
