#EMBRACETHESPECTACLE

Jacques Marie Mage debuts a collection of inspired eyewear. Maker of small masterpieces; of
collectible objects steeped in deep histories; of coveted products brimming with idiosyncrasy and
elegance, Jacques Marie Mage strives to break from the banality of retroactive fads and imitative
fashions, choosing instead a dynamic design praxis that draws inspiration from across oceans
and ages, and combines craft motifs with quality materials, advanced production methods, and
ethical business practices.

A testament to ocular originality, the spectacles embrace an array of rich materials, bold
geometric shapes and an exuberance of attitude. Individually, each pair has a story to tell, reconfiguring
the aesthetic influences of bygone eras—from Brutalist architecture to Napoleonic
regalia—in wholly contemporary terms. The resulting eyewear collection consists of precisely
crafted objects of impressive physicality, refined statement pieces that are powerful, playful, and
meaningfully anachronistic.

“Our work is about history, authenticity, and craft,” comments founder and designer Jerome
Jacques Marie Mage. “It’s also about honesty. We’re not trying to take classic shapes and just
color them or twist them in some clever way. Our obsession with quality demands that we utilize
only the most premium materials, develop only the most innovative hardware, and utilize only the
most respectable eyewear manufacturers in the world.”
