Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) - Sunglasses and Frames…

I was quoted around 300 in Atlanta as well for roundabout what Clint highlights above. Specifically for jmm

Thank you everyone!

Local pawnshop had a pair of JMM’s in a glass case with a bunch of Michael Kors, Ray Ban, Coach and such. I about lost it when I saw 49.99 on the tag.
Had them take it out for me to see, and it was actually $449.99. No box or case, just the glasses. Womp. Not 100% sure on the model, but looked like the Sandro.

Look at that, sunglasses with my name!

There's a JMM sale going on at one of the Australian dealers. Circa 30% off a number of styles, including the Jeff in Zebra for @Anesthetist.

@JerkStore that’s so fucking sad. My dad lives right outside of Pasadena. Sounds like shits in complete and total carnage.

So very tragic

2018 Malibu fire was bad. This is beyond insane and I’ve never seen it this bad. I’m coming back from Europe today and praying my house will be there when I land.

I was in Melbourne today, so I dropped by the local Jacques Marie Mage pusher. There were a few styles I was interested in looking at, one of which was the @JDelage signature model. I liked the frames, but not on me. The shape didn't sit well with the shape of my eyebrows, although they aren't bad in the photo.
I also checked out a pair of the Hisao in white, which doesn't show up on the JMM website. They actually came up a bit small on my face, the wider angle of the forward camera on my phone makes them more flattering than they were.
I also tried on a pair of the Dasan, but I didn't get a photo. They weren't great on me either.
I ordered a pair of the Diana in black with the mirrored lenses in a sale about a week ago, and they're probably the style that suits me the best. I'm going to push out the lenses and replace them with mirrored transitions lenses, so they'll be clear indoors and retain the same look outside.

The JMM pricing dynamics have been interesting. They seemed to never go on sale and be tightly controlled and they rose in price. I read about capacity constraints at the ateliers, which makes sense given not many operate at those levels or make the investment to cure huge slabs of acetate.
Now I'm seeing significant sales and discounts all of a sudden as they open their boutique in Milan.
I just find these kinds of things interesting and am curious what goes on behind the scenes.
Think it, be it.

@mclaincausey I wonder if they have priced themselves out of their core market and are trying to recapture some of those clients. There are a few brands out there that their prices have risen significantly over the last 4-5 years and I think it may be a correction of sorts especially with the global economies softening the way they have.
