Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) - Sunglasses and Frames…
-
@pechelman went back to you recent post. I like how you showed the different colors at different stages of transition. Awesome.
Yep, I agree, the Sapphire would really make the frame pop. Also worth mentioning, you have such awesome hair that it’d be hard to make sunnies not look right. -
@pechelman I like the amber, but have you considered the Style Mirrors? A reflective lens might be fun and would pick up on the metal details on the frame.

The new Last Frontier collection is completely over the top...
Prices too...https://www.jacquesmariemage.com/shop/last-frontier

I’ve heard that they have overwhelmed their atelier in Japan and aren’t even finishing some runs right now, so there is a supply and demand element probably involved. Keep in mind the 10mm acetate blocks take weeks to cure too.
I see lots of celebs wearing them and then there’s the whole Succession thing. They’re aspirational goods now so who knows what will happen.

@Kasi has been overwhelming them with his purchases..

Definitely

Haha yes @Kasi you're lucky you bought in when you did!
I’ve noticed the price hike too and scratched my head about it, wondered if it’d drive people away. Certainly did for me! I already felt bad about spending 600 on a pair of shades, definitely never doing 800.
-
the last I bought was in April 2022. has it increased since then?

Yes
I think personally JMM’s taking the piss
I brought over 20 pair’s last year
So to buy the same amount am paying 4000 more.
Rather buy more Good Art and Iron Heart
By the way this is my opinion not to offend anyone.
So if you happy, you can carry on buying them

@popvulture will drive people away definitely
That amount money is my half spent Iron Heart buying rather go that way.

@Kasi well I don't buy much of them. only have 2 sunnies and 1 pair of prescription glasses now. might think of getting one more, but won't be too soon.

Maybe a longshot but has anyone purchased from Silver Deer in Mexico? Going on vacation next week and was hoping to grab some sunglasses, but on their website everything is significantly($200+) more expensive than elsewhere. Their Iron Heart prices seem to be more in line. Wondering if it'll be more normal priced in store / if I'm getting a more expensive price because I'm shopping online from the US.
In my past trips to Mexico I usually end up paying a bit less than I would shopping in the US, so I end up putting off larger splurge purchases until I'm there!
-
I've actually had pretty good luck with the opposite in recent years! Usually end up paying slightly less in retail and getting the ~6-10% VAT tax refund at a lot of the luxury stores.
Either way, ended up grabbing a pair of Torino's online last night. Cooler heads prevailed and I opted for a black frame, but I can't stop thinking about the Reserve pair...
