Jacques Marie Mage unviels one of its most refined and exclusive offerings to date: the Héritage Collection. This limited series reintroduces seven of the brand’s most iconic frame designs—each reimagined in responsibly sourced Buffalo Horn. Produced in micro quantities ranging from only 10 to 100 units per style and color, this series of frames push the boundaries of what defines collectible luxury eyewear.
What Is the Jacques Marie Mage Héritage Collection?
The Héritage Collection is a celebration of craftsmanship, rarity, and legacy. Each of the seven frames in the series is handcrafted in Italy using natural Buffalo Horn, a material prized for its grain, warmth, and tactile richness. Unlike acetate, Buffalo Horn requires a slow, expert-driven manufacturing process that takes four times longer to complete. At full capacity, the Jacques Marie Mage workshop produces just ten horn frames per day, underscoring the exclusivity and labor intensity behind each piece.
This collection revives seven of the brand’s most celebrated frame designs—each chosen for its cultural significance, visual impact, and enduring appeal—transforming them into modern heirlooms.
A Closer Look at The Eyeglasses
Each frame in the Héritage Collection was chosen for its lasting connection to the Jacques Marie Mage archive. Designs originally launched as early as 2015 have been reborn in horn, each with its original silhouette, now elevated through natural material and newly enhanced features.
