THE MOLINO
PICTURED ALL / MOLINO CHAMPAGNE
Named after Carlo Mollino, one of the great architects and designers of the 20th century, the Molino’s decisive rectangular shape emulates the acclaimed Italian’s flair for poetic angularity, while the spectacle’s solid construction and subtle bevel detailing reflect his astute mix of sensuality and balance.

Every component of The Circa Collection is custom manufactured, exclusively for Jacques Marie Mage, by our manufacturing partners in Nakatsugawa, Japan. Over one hundred hands touch each Jacques Marie Mage spectacle before its arrival at the Los Angeles facility, resulting in an unsurpassed quality- control process. Our tolerance policy includes a final twenty-point measurement test for all fit specifications and detail finishes. Crafted with the highest level of manufacturing prowess and tested with the lowest tolerance-standards possible, Jacques Marie Mage products are designed to last a lifetime. All Jacques Marie Mage spectacles are handcrafted using Takiron cellulose acetate, a living plant-based material that breaths and absorbs moisture; therefore, clean your frames regularly to maintain a deep glossy finish. Each model of our spectacles are produced in limited quantities- please treat your pair as a rarity that will one day become collectible.

THE DEALAN
PICTURED / DEALAN RX HAVANA
Throughout the mid-1960’s, Bob Dylan toured the world with a sole companion: one pair of iconic, black, cat-eyed spectacles. The DEALAN pays homage to this unique relationship between a man and his eyewear, incorporating bold volumes and sharp lines that evoke the musician’s devil-may-care charisma. Put these on, and don’t look back.
