Stone Island enters the world of luxury sunglasses, combing Italian eyewear brand Persol‘s archive to revisit its ’70s era pilot-style frame.
The limited-edition sunglass style unites the innovative vision of Stone Island with Persol’s design legacy. The collaboration, inspired by the world of aviation and workwear, uses the same machinery that was used to make the original Persol models.
With the Pilot Frame PO2470S, the two Italian brands have created a new reference point for luxury eyewear that is handcrafted to the last detail. The pilot profile features a metal bridge with visible screws that contrast with the frame and as well as the light blue polarized lenses. Take a close up look in the video below.
The collaborative sunglasses are packed in a special box that also contains a branded glasses case, glasses holder strap and a specially developed cleaning set.
Styles will be available at Stone Island and Persol.com starting September 29th for $495.
