Persol 009


The Persol 009 model was originally designed by Persol to meet a request from NASA in the early 1960s. The unique feature of these sunglasses are the extra side shield lenses to provide eye protection from the sides. The version shown here in a gloss red gives this unusual design a quirky modern flavor. My friend Chris from Vintage-Sunglasses.DE uses them for skiing and I am sure he is making a statement when wearing them.
