Persol just checked into the Italian Riviera for its Spring/Summer 2026 collection, and the results are as sharp as a chilled Negroni. Inspired by the sun-drenched palazzos and coastal curves of the Mediterranean, the new lineup takes the brand’s legendary Italian craftsmanship and gives it a modern, refined edge. It’s the kind of eyewear that looks just as good behind the wheel of a vintage spider as it does at a seaside cafe.
The drop centers on three new silhouettes: the PO8001S, the PO8002S, and the PO8003V. The standout is the PO8001S, which breaks from the archives with wave-like contours and a custom hinge bolt engraved with a signature “P.” They’ve also tweaked the geometry for an enhanced fit, ensuring these stay put while you’re traveling along the cliffs of Portofino (or just looking for a parking spot).
Available now in a range of classic tortoises and deep acetates, it’s a masterclass in “if it ain’t broke, just make it better.” Whether you need fresh shades or a new pair of opticals, these are built to be your daily drivers for years to come. Grab your shades here.
