Persol pays tribute to their heritage with the Roadster Edition series.  A special collection inspired by the classic roadster sports cars of yesteryear. A fitting nod to the Italian brands roots, back when their sunglasses were made for and worn by race car drivers.

The latest Roadster Edition model, the Persol 3018S, with its classic styling and clean lines is a great addition to the series.  It features a key-hole bridge, signature Supreme Arrows, and subtle details such as an engraved grill like design on the temple tips.  Much like the cars it was inspired by, its beautiful in its simplicity, a timeless design which never goes out of style. As with all Roadster Edition frames it comes complete with special edition packaging, most notably a deep brown supple leather Persol carrying case, a bit reminiscent of a pair of driving gloves.  Car enthusiast or not, the 3018S will add a touch of sophistication to any wardrobe.  All that’s left to do is take ’em for a spin; available in 4 colors, check it out:
