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.
