Perhaps my all time favorite frames, the classic Persol 714 — which were immortalized by Steve McQueen — are being re-issued. In a new line by Persol of classic McQueen 714s, the trademark blue lenses, tortoise frames and folding body are making a comeback. The frame comes from a single piece of acetate, broken at […]
