Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) is a high-end eyewear label distinguished by its exclusive, limited-edition releases. Established in 2014 by designer Jérôme Mage, the brand debuted in 2015 with bold, sculptural frames that stood out against the prevailing minimalist eyewear styles of that time.
History
Jérôme Mage initiated his career creating eyewear in Southern California. The first JMM collection launched in 2015 showcased the DEALAN, a Wayfarer-inspired design made from plant-based acetate, drawing stylistic cues from Bob Dylan’s glasses in the 1960s.
JMM has partnered with prominent personalities such as Jeff Goldblum, who collaborated on a three-piece collection beginning in 2021 and identified JMM eyewear as a key element of his signature look by 2024. In 2023, actor Jeremy Strong teamed up with JMM to develop a bespoke collection. The brand’s 2024 collaborations include a third capsule with fashion editor George Cortina, endorsed by Duke Nicholson and Devon Lee Carlson, alongside alliances with streetwear retailer Union and model-designer Erin Wasson. Additional collaborators have featured Olivier Theyskens, Kate Bosworth, and Enfants Riches Déprimés.
Production
JMM designs its eyewear in the United States while manufacturing takes place in Japan and Italy. The creation process is carried out in specialized workshops and spans approximately 18 months, involving around 300 individual steps.
The materials utilized encompass Takiron acetate and beta titanium imported from Japan. Select models incorporate luxurious details such as precious stone embellishments, 18-karat gold filigree work, and sterling silver elements.
The label is recognized for its limited edition approach, producing each style in small, serialized quantities capped at no more than 500 pairs per design.
