    Persol x Stone Island

    Just picked the below up and I know there are a few fans of both brands on here so thought I’d post a quick heads up.

    https://www.persol.com/uk/0PO2470S--513-3R

    Strange time of the year I guess to buy sunglasses but had to have them and pretty sure they won’t make the sale!

    I saw these on my Insta feed a couple of times today. Really nice looking and the Persol collab is cool.

    But I'm finding so many of these designer brands are so overpriced these days its hard to get too excited.

    Fan of both brands but but convinced by the collaboration.

    Tbh I think all the Stone Island collaborations always end of looking a bit like over branded knock offs

    I don't know SI (apart from their yearly swimsuit issue, of course), but am a big fan of Persol. But the price got a genuine Yikes! from me!

    Well done on your pick up. Don't sit on 'em!

    The price is I agree a bit punchy and was always going to be with the SI collaboration but I just about managed to justify it! They do however appear to be genuinely limited as they are sold out everywhere apart from the Persol website itself.

    The image below was the one that made my mind up to purchase.

    They found me a pair in the depths of the stock room, should get them tomorrow or Monday.

    The box and set is amazing.

    Mine have arrived (pouring down) so I’m looking the b*******s indoors. Box & accessories are class and the lenses superb. A decent collaboration I reckon.

    I’m on my second pair. The first pair fell apart, I took them back to the London store and they just refunded me. They had no more to exchange them for and didn’t offer a repair. Picked up another pair shortly after from a local optician.

    Like them a lot.

    Pretty green copied them identically apart from the branding.

    That doesn’t sound great can get some for £300 but slightly put off now by that comment

    Got mine in Summer 2020.

    Noticed last year that one of the lenses has cracked around the mount for the arm on that side.

    Not massively impressed.
