"What I love about JMM is that they do smaller runs, so they feel a little more exclusive. It's beautiful craftsmanship. They have real stand-out items that feel masculine, [like] pieces of art that could take the place of jewelry. They really help create a look."
"Jérôme Mage was witnessing a shift in the industry just before he founded the brand in 2014. He noticed businesses directing their budgets towards the marketing department and away from production, increasing the exposure of products that just weren't up to scratch. He worked with Japanese eyewear artisans to create the first Jacques Marie Mage sunglasses."
"In today's landscape, you have to differentiate yourself from traditional signifiers of wealth, like luxury watches, with something less ubiquitous and obviously aspirational. Much like other 'if you know, you know' brands, a pair of JMM sunglasses have become a subtle signifier of taste."
Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) is a Los Angeles-based eyewear brand favored by celebrities including Daniel Craig, Lewis Hamilton, and Brad Pitt. The brand produces limited-run sunglasses using premium materials like thick acetate and beta titanium, crafted by Japanese artisans. Stylist Warren Alfie Baker praises JMM for its exclusive production runs and artistic quality, noting the frames function as statement pieces and jewelry alternatives. Founded in 2014 by Jérôme Mage, the brand deliberately avoided heavy marketing, instead building reputation through quality craftsmanship. Each frame draws inspiration from cultural icons and their signature eyewear styles, positioning JMM as a subtle indicator of refined taste in an era where traditional luxury signifiers have become ubiquitous.
