Jacques Marie Mage

Each JMM frame goes through approximately 300 production steps and 18 months from concept to completion, hand-assembled in Sabae, Japan by artisans whose entire careers are dedicated to eyewear. Every model is produced in small limited runs and never reissued, so the frame you buy is one of only a few hundred made worldwide. The price reflects materials, craftsmanship, and rarity rather than markup.

Most Jacques Marie Mage frames range from approximately $600 to $1,100, depending on materials and edition. Standard acetate and titanium models sit in the lower part of the range, while limited collaboration editions and frames with precious metal details cost more.

Every Jacques Marie Mage frame is handcrafted in Sabae, Japan, the city widely regarded as the world center of luxury eyewear manufacturing. Each frame is built by a single artisan from start to finish, with up to 300 production steps per piece.

Jacques Marie Mage is a genuine craft luxury brand, not a marketing-driven hype label. Founded by French designer Jerome Mage in Los Angeles, JMM produces frames in limited runs that often sell out and are never reissued, with frame-by-frame craftsmanship comparable to high-end watchmaking. The brand has earned a serious following among collectors precisely because the quality stands up to the price.

For first-time JMM buyers, the Zephirin is the most recommended starting point. Its pre-WWII round silhouette is one of the brand's signatures, it comes in two sizes (44mm and 47mm) to suit different face widths, and it's available in both optical and sunglasses versions. The Dealan, the brand's debut model from 2015, is another strong entry point with its slightly cat-eye acetate shape.
