The Most Popular Jacques Marie Mage Frames at Visionary Optics

We carry over 200 Jacques Marie Mage styles at any given time across our three New York City locations. Popular models come back season after season in new colorways, but once a specific colorway sells out, it is gone for good. Here are the JMM models our customers reach for most.

Zephirin

The Zephirin is probably the single most recognizable JMM frame. Named after Pope Zephyrinus, it has a distinctive pre-WWII round silhouette with sculptural temples and slim lines. Brad Pitt wore the Zephirin in Babylon, which put it on the radar of a much wider audience, but it was already one of our best sellers before that.

It comes in two sizes. The 44mm is compact and works well on narrower faces. The 47mm is slightly larger and tends to be more versatile. Both are available in sunglasses and optical versions, so you can wear the same shape as your everyday glasses and your weekend sunglasses.

If you are new to JMM, the Zephirin is a good place to start.

Dealan

The Dealan is where it all started. It was part of the brand's debut season in Spring 2015, inspired by the relationship between Bob Dylan and his iconic black cat-eye spectacles from the mid-1960s. Bold volumes, sharp lines, and a subtle cat-eye shape give it a look that reads both vintage and current.

It has been reissued in dozens of colorways over the years, including collaborations like the Dealan Patti Smith and the Dealan 10-Year Anniversary edition. The standard size is a 50mm lens, but there is also a larger Dealan 53 for those who want more coverage. Production runs are typically 200 to 500 pieces per colorway, and popular colors sell out quickly.

Ashcroft

The Ashcroft is a medium-sized acetate frame with clean, classic proportions. It sits in a comfortable middle ground between statement and subtlety. Customers who want the JMM build quality without a shape that draws a lot of attention tend to gravitate here.

It works well for both sunglasses and prescription use, and the range of colorways tends to include both bold options and quieter tones.

Richard

The Richard is an aviator. Not the wire aviator you are used to seeing everywhere, but a thick acetate interpretation with real weight and presence. The double bar across the bridge and the sculpted temples give it a look that references 1970s style without copying it.

It is a bigger frame and tends to suit medium to larger faces, and it consistently draws people who are looking for something with more personality than a standard aviator.

Molino

The Molino is a refined rectangular frame with a confident, classic shape. It is one of the more understated JMM designs, which makes it popular with customers who wear glasses every day and want something that works in professional settings without disappearing on their face.

Available in two sizes (51mm and 55mm), the Molino is a strong choice for first-time JMM buyers who lean toward clean lines over bold shapes.

Yves

The Yves is a bold, expressive frame with strong lines and a vintage sensibility. It is named after Yves Saint Laurent and carries the kind of assured design you would expect from that reference. Thicker acetate, distinctive temple details, and a shape that sits somewhere between square and rectangular.

It has become a favorite among collectors who already own several JMM pairs and are looking for something with real character.

How to Choose

JMM frames run thicker and heavier than most eyewear, and the sizing varies a lot from model to model. What looks right in a photo might not work on your face, and something you would not have picked online might end up being the best frame you have ever owned. That is why trying them on matters.

At Visionary Optics, our opticians will walk you through the differences between models and help you find the right fit. We carry the full JMM range at all three locations: Upper East Side, Chelsea, and Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.

We also fit all JMM optical frames with ZEISS prescription lenses, most ready the same day.
