“The new Persol Stardust collection with its crystal and metal embellishments evokes the alluring world of glamour and celebrity. This particular collection addresses that segment of the market that wants sunwear featuring the finest quality lenses and materials, yet is also jewelry for the eyes,” said Vittorio Verdun, director of marketing at Luxottica Group.



Luxottica embellishes the Persol line with crystal and metal accents; the PO 2785 SB (top) and PO 2784 SM are shown here.

The supplier offers its first Persol collection with studs and crystals, which highlights the collection’s feminine lines.

The grouping includes two sunwear designs. The PO 2785 SB is an oversized full-rim plastic wrap enhanced with 66 Swarovski crystals set along the browbar for all-out style. Reminiscent of Hollywood glamour in the 50’s and 60’s, the PO 2785 SB addresses the needs of women who enjoy the limelight. It is available in black and tortoise. The PO 2784 SM is an assertive full-rim plastic with large square lenses. It is enhanced with metal studs placed across the frame’s browbar and down each side. The color palette includes black cherry and black. Both feature the unique Meflecto temple and distinctive Persol arrow.

The sunwear is priced to the dispenser at $86.95--Caletha Crawford
