A limited Custom Project brought to you by Eyegoodies Lab, we are proud to present: BLACK ICE.

This Eyegoodies Custom Project uses some of the most technically advanced lenses on the planet: Black polarized lenses, made by the world-renowned Japanese lens maker Nikon. The lenses are then finished with a custom multilayer Black Ice mirror to provide the sharpest visual acuity in even the harshest conditions.

The Polarized Black Ice Mirror lenses are edged in house to our exacting standards into three of our favorite frames, creating this exclusive custom pack. Each frame was specifically chosen for its distinct aesthetic.

Persol Typewriter Edition Sunglasses

Persol Typewriter Edition Sunglasses

Inspired by the antique charm of the long lost writing tool, Persol introduces the “Typewriter Edition” collection. Composed of two timeless shapes, a rounded (3108) and a squared off model (3110), each encompassing subtle details to recall a golden era of  literary heritage.

These combination frames have, a newly conceived metal bridge which is finished with refined laser engravings and features rivets inspired by the letters of the old keyboards.  The name of the collection is written in the iconic “American Typewriter” font on the inner side of the temple with a fan-shaped pattern on the tips that helps prevent slippage. The three-cylinder Meflecto system on each temple ensures maximum flexibility, grip, and comfort. In exclusive acetates, the sunglasses are available in standard, as well as polarized lenses.

Persol 3072 Film Noir Edition Sunglasses

The Phoenix reborn!  Persol releases the limited 3072 “Film Noir Edition” sunglasses.

The Persol 3072 AKA “The Gangster” is part of Persol’s limited edition “Film Noir Collection”.  As tribute, we see the resurrection of the famed Phoenix arrow. Persol’s defining arrow was first introduced by founder, Giuseppe Ratti in the 1930’s. Over the years, this arrow has taken many shapes. One of the rarest, being the Phoenix of the film noir era.

Handmade in Italy, the frame features a classic key-hole bridge and is done up in shiny black acetate with silver detailing, and features G15(grey green) glass lenses which are both polarized and anti-reflective back coated for superb optics and glare protection.

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:

Persol Sunglasses

For almost a century the Persol brand has been renowned for its artistry. Persol intertwines top notch craftsmanship and quality with timeless aesthetics producing true works of art, as recently celebrated in the Persol Design Exhibition at the Whitney museum.
I have been a long time collector of Persols from the early, mid, and late Ratti pieces to the current models. After receiving an invitation and attending the opening of Persol’s exhibition, I was inspired to write about, not only my two favorite Persol sunglasses, but perhaps my two all time favorite sunglasses: Persol 649S and Persol 714.

Persol 649S

The persol 649S, created in 1950’s to protect tram drivers from the elements, became instant legend when Marcello Mastroianni wore them in the 1961 Pietro Germi film “Divorce Italian style”.
