Persol: made by hand

Only when you pick up a pair of Persol glasses do you realise the quality and workmanship that has gone into them. This video provides a glimpse into the production process. No wonder Steve McQueen was so keen on them.

Persol clip-on collection: clearly useful

I've lost count of the number of times I've wished my Persols had a clip-on sunglass lense option. In fact I don't know why this accessory isn't included in every eyeglass prescription, apart from the fact that it could quite possibly wipe out the market for sunglasses and contacts, at least for spectacle wearers.

So an enlightened idea then, and one that was last quite the thing back in the eighties and before that, seeing as these things go in 20-year cycles, probably, oh, the sixties.

And they're back, and there isn't an option for the glasses I have. Damn.
