A Brief History of Jacques Marie Mage

Since its founding by French designer Jerome Jacques Marie Mage in 2014, this eyewear brand has continuously pushed boundaries to create glasses that offer a unique blend of function and style. L.A.-based and often finding inspiration through history, art, and culture, Mage effortlessly incorporates attention to detail in every touch.


Whether it's pulling from the Art Deco style, looking to the landscapes and mythology of the American West, drawing from Napoleon’s aesthetic, or finding inspiration in Japanese culture, Jacques Marie Mage glasses continue to embrace the past in order to forge a future that’s all their own.


As this brand’s popularity has continued to grow over the last decade, so has the number of its admirers. Jacques Marie Mage sunglasses and glasses have an ever-expanding fan base with collectors eyeing new releases and finding joy in their rare collections. Using precious materials and innovative production methods, this one-of-a-kind brand is also known for its ethical business practices, continuing to its widespread appeal and admiration.

What Makes Jacques Marie Mage Sunglasses Unique?

Jacques Marie Mage glasses have become synonymous with quality and craftsmanship through their use of top-of-the-line materials including acetate, titanium, and precious metals. By continuously prioritizing the creation of small batches sold only at exclusive retailers and putting out limited-edition handmade releases, this brand is able to set the standard for quality and style in the eyewear space. Styles are available for a short amount of time, creating intrigue and excitement with each much-anticipated release. This ensures the brand stays on the cutting edge, adding to its exclusivity—and collectibility. 


Jacques Marie Mage glasses are carefully crafted in Japan, merging influences of the past with modern styles. Their frames are made through a unique and innovative process, adding to their luxury appeal and demand. Each pair is first sculpted with acetate that’s then tumbled in a barrel filled with bamboo chips. Next, frames are passed on to be hand-polished to a specialized degree of precision and care.


With bold, distinct styles and colorways often named in honor of icons of the past, Jacques Marie Mage glasses have captured the attention of celebrities and fashion-lovers alike. In fact, Jeff Goldblum, Denzel Washington, Brad Pitt, and more A-list names have been spotted sporting these soon-to-be-classics. Known for their thick frames, unique angles, geometric shapes, and interesting color combinations, Jacques Marie Mage ensures you don’t have to compromise when choosing between the classics and the current.


When it comes to having the full package, Jacques Marie Mage sunglasses are also truly a step above the rest. Taking inspiration from leaders in the watch industry, their presentation also wows customers, with glasses coming in a jewelry-like box accompanied by a cleaning cloth, leather sleeve, and paperwork with details about your unique frames. This attention to detail makes unboxing a pair of Jacques Marie Mage glasses a special experience to be savored. It also gives eyeglass lovers an unprecedented amount of luxury in the eyewear space—and keeps them coming back for more time and time again.

Their playful designs and unique array of color options are perfect for art and fashion lovers looking to make a statement as well as those hoping for an everyday option. 


While Jacques Marie Mage offers a wide selection of frames, styles, and sizes to cater to a variety of eyeglass-wearers, there are several styles that keep devout fans coming back for more. Over the years, cat eye glasses have become a recognizable favorite of the brand, renowned for its unique heavy-frame approach to the look. Aviators are also a popular choice, as Mage creates these styles with a twist, including intricate detailing and unexpected colors. Rimless glasses continue to catch the eye of those who value unique tints and geometric shapes.
