The Spirit of Craftmanship
Pervading Japan, its deep history of artisanship and artistry has informed and influenced Jacques Marie Mage since its founding.
Each limited-edition Jacques Marie Mage spectacle has a story, one told through a design language that references cultural icons and artistic movements from modern history.
Handcrafted in Japan using a combination of traditional methods and innovative techniques, each pair of glasses requires a 300-step process enriched by the expertise of nearly 100 artisans over 18 months.
