What to know about Jacques Marie Mage
Frames are numbered, not restocked
Each colorway is produced in Japan in runs of roughly 400 to 800 pieces, so a discontinued model generally does not come back.
Built heavier than most eyewear
Thick sculpted acetate, titanium and inlaid metal hardware give the frames visible weight and structure rather than a minimal, thin profile.
$600-$1,500 puts it above designer licensing
Prices sit well past the licensed sunglasses most fashion houses sell, and the brand sells through Mr Porter, Net-a-Porter and Harrods plus its own Venice, California space.
