Vintage Persol Ratti Mythis "Hera" – Rare NOS 1990s Eyeglasses – Tortoiseshell Oval Frame – Made in Italy
A true collector’s gem from the golden era of Persol Ratti, the “Mythis Hera” is a striking blend of heritage craftsmanship and bold design. Made in Italy in the 1990s, this model is part of the elusive Mythis series — a short-lived, avant-garde line that pushed the boundaries of Persol’s design language.
Named after the Greek goddess Hera, these eyeglasses exude timeless authority and feminine strength. The sculpted oval frame in warm honey tortoiseshell acetate is beautifully faceted, creating a prismatic effect under light. At the hinges, you’ll find Persol’s signature Meflecto system – a revolutionary flexible temple technology pioneered by Persol Ratti, offering unmatched comfort and adaptability.
What makes this model especially desirable is its rarity. Very few "Hera" models were produced, and even fewer survived in NOS (New Old Stock) condition like this one. The glasses remain unworn and pristine, with crystal-clear demo lenses still bearing the original “Persol Mythis” logo. The temples are marked with “Persol Ratti” — a hallmark of quality that ended in the early '90s when the original Turin factory was closed.
Please note: there is a minor patina on the left signature arrow insert — a subtle mark of time that only adds to its authentic vintage character. This in no way affects the structure or integrity of the frame.
Whether you're a vintage eyewear connoisseur or a fashion enthusiast in search of a statement piece, this is a treasure worth claiming.
