Persol Have Brought Nicholas Cageโ€™s Favourite Sunnies Back On The Market

โ€” Updated on 15 June 2021

Nicolas Cage is many things. An Oscar winner, Superman fanatic, lover of the occult and pet snake owner. He also has aโ€ฆ uniqueโ€ฆ fashion sense thatโ€™s being reinvented for a new generation thanks to Italian sunglass maker Persol.

Cage is a big fan of the Italian eyewear giant and sported the brandโ€™s iconic Persol PO2458S Key West eyewear during two of his biggest films; 90โ€™s road trip classic Wild At Heart, directed by David Lynch and co-starring Laura Dern; and romantic drama Leaving Las Vegas, where he plays an alcoholic screenwriter who forms a relationship with Elizabeth Shueโ€™s lady of the night.

These sleek shades have been unavailable for a number of years, with Persol re-issuing the sunglasses for modern-day Cage fans to enjoy. This updated version features the brandโ€™s patented Meflecto temples for a comfortable and secure fit and crystal-tempered sunglass lenses providing eye protection with distortion-free vision. The gold lens and black frame give off a movie star vibe, so itโ€™s no wonder these sunglasses are favoured by Cage. 

This isnโ€™t the only range of Persol sunnies to get re-released, with the brand also reviving models worn by Tom Cruise in 80โ€™s classic Cocktail and the Steve McQueen in The Thomas Crown Affair.

You can grab a pair of Cageโ€™s favourite sunnies for $280 at visondirect.com
