Product Information

Full details

The Persol PO1009S sunglasses are an ideal choice for adults seeking a blend of Italian craftsmanship and timeless style, specifically engineered to flatter square and rectangular face shapes. These unisex shades offer a sophisticated aesthetic with their durable metal construction and refined grey finish, helping to soften angular facial features for a balanced look. While the premium metal frame ensures longevity, users should be mindful that like all high-end metal eyewear, they require careful handling to avoid accidental bending or surface scratches during storage.

FAQs

Are these sunglasses suitable for a small face?

The PO1009S is generally designed for standard adult proportions, though its shape is specifically optimized for square and rectangular faces.

Can I get these fitted with prescription lenses?

Because these feature a durable metal frame, they are typically compatible with most prescription lens installations performed by an optician.

What is the best way to clean the grey metal finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap, followed by a gentle wipe with a dry microfiber cloth to maintain the finish without damaging the metal.

Does this model come in other colors?

Yes, there is a Black variant available in the same PO1009S series.

Are these polarized?

Please check the specific markings on the inner temple of your glasses, as Persol offers both polarized and non-polarized options within the PO1009S line.

Is the frame hypoallergenic?

The metal frame is made from high-quality materials, but if you have a known severe nickel allergy, it is best to consult with an optician regarding the specific frame composition.

Troubleshooting

The frame feels loose on the face.

Visit an authorized optician to have the hinges professionally tightened and the temple tips adjusted for a custom fit.

Visible smudges or oil on the lenses.

Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to buff the surface. Avoid using clothing or tissues, as these can contain fibers that scratch the lens.

Hinge stiffness.

Ensure no debris is caught in the joint and avoid using oil lubricants; if the issue persists, contact the manufacturer or a professional eyewear technician.

Pros and Cons

  • Flattering geometry for square and rectangular faces
  • Versatile and neutral grey colourway
  • Comfortable fit suitable for extended daily use
  • Iconic, high-fashion aesthetic

Cons

  • Metal frames can be prone to bending if sat upon

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Persol PO1009S sunglasses provide long-lasting service, store them in a protective hard-shell case when not in use. Clean the lenses and metal frame exclusively with a microfiber cloth and, if necessary, a dedicated lens cleaning solution; avoid using abrasive paper towels or household glass cleaners, which can strip protective coatings. If the fit feels loose, take them to a professional optician to have the hinges or temple tips adjusted to your face shape, as attempting to force a fit change manually can cause the metal frame to fatigue or break.
