Jacques Marie Mage
Jacques Marie Mage is the collector's eyewear house: strictly limited, individually numbered editions, handcrafted in Japan and archived for good once a run sells out.
Thick Japanese acetate, hand-burnished edges, gold and horn where it counts, and shapes drawn from cinema and the American West. What's in the collection now won't always be.

What makes Jacques Marie Mage one of the world's most premium eyewear houses?
Each pair is handcrafted in Japan across hundreds of steps, in strictly limited, individually numbered editions, using thick Japanese acetate, gold and horn. That rarity and craft — not volume — is what places it among the world's most premium eyewear. Prices vary by model; enquire on WhatsApp for what is in store.
Are Jacques Marie Mage frames really limited edition?
Yes. Styles are made in small numbered runs — often only a few hundred pairs, sometimes far fewer — and archived for good once they sell out. Each frame is individually numbered and supplied with its certificate.
How do I know my Jacques Marie Mage frames are authentic?
Optik has been a proudly authorised Jacques Marie Mage stockist for more than seven years, so every pair is genuine and current-season. Each frame also carries a unique serial engraved on the inner temple and a matching numbered certificate of authenticity.
How much do Jacques Marie Mage frames cost in South Africa?
Each edition is priced on its own terms — materials, run size and finish vary from model to model, so there is no single figure. Current pieces are shown with their prices in store at Melrose Arch, and the team will confirm what is on the shelf right now over WhatsApp. Because runs are numbered and archived once sold, the price you see is for a frame that will not be reissued.
Can I have prescription lenses fitted to Jacques Marie Mage frames?
Yes. Most Jacques Marie Mage optical and sunglass styles take prescription lenses, and as an optometry practice we handle the whole process in one place. Optik partners with trusted specialist optical laboratories for lens manufacturing, while our team manages the measurements, lens selection, frame assessment and final quality check. Book an eye test and we will take it from there.
Does Optik stock Jacques Marie Mage sunglasses in Johannesburg?
Yes — our Melrose Arch collection includes both optical frames and sunglasses from the current Jacques Marie Mage releases. Because every style is a numbered, limited run, what is on the shelf changes as editions sell out; message us on WhatsApp for today's selection, or come and try them on at Shop SL24, next door to Woolworths.
Who is behind Jacques Marie Mage?
The house was founded in Los Angeles by the French designer Jerome Mage, and every frame is still designed there before being handcrafted in Japan in small numbered runs. The name on the temple is his own — Jacques Marie Mage — and the design language draws on cinema, music and the American West. The best way to understand it is to hold a pair; come and try them on at Melrose Arch.
Can Optik source a specific Jacques Marie Mage model?
Sometimes — and it is always worth asking. Because every style is a strictly limited, numbered run, a model that has sold through and been archived cannot be reordered, but if it is still in a current release we can check availability with the house. Message us on WhatsApp with the model name and we will tell you honestly what is possible.
