Jacques Marie Mage

Jacques Marie Mage's 'Photochromic Collection: Kaine' features beautifully bevelled and impossibly dapper rectangular spectacles originally released in Summer 2021, equipped with responsive photochromic lenses designed to complement the rich hues of their accompanying acetate, featuring JMM's signature arrowhead front-pins, custom 7-barrel hinges, and 'Snaketail' wirecores with refined hairline details.

The new Photochromic Collection introduces a dynamic new dimension to JMM eyewear: colour that responds, transforms, and reveals itself differently with every change in light. Though traditionally associated with optical glasses, JMM has developed custom photochromic lenses specifically for sunglasses, creating a distinctive palette of responsive colours designed to complement the rich hues of their accompanying acetate. These specialised lenses darken outdoors when exposed to ultraviolet rays and return to a lighter tint indoors, creating tonal combinations that evolve with the environment. Indoors and outdoors, they block 100% of UVA and UVB rays while filtering blue-violet light, combining advanced protection with a distinctive approach to colour, craft, and everyday versatility.
