Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) - Sunglasses and Frames…

@mclaincausey there seems to be less money floating around than there was during the pandemic, when zero percent interest rates and government intervention were the order of the day. Perhaps people aren't willing to spend so much on a discretionary purchase, as @goosehd speculated.
(As an aside, a couple of software subscriptions have seen 50% increases this year, which largely seem to be justified by investments in AI technology that I'm probably not going to use.)

@goosehd said in Jacques Marie Mage (JMM) - Sunglasses and Frames…:
There are a few brands out there that their prices have raised significantly over the last 4-5 years
I work in luxury fashion and this is definitely through. especially between 2020-2023. lots of luxury fashion brands are starting to feel the backlash of the aggressive price increases.

Meanwhile Rolex just keeps on ticking with price increases
Think it, be it.

@mclaincausey I damn near shat myself when I saw how much my last Rolex rose in price since Fall 2023...It has went from absurd to ludicrous.

@JerkStore
do they have a webshop ?
as mentioned earlier, eye-oo in Italy has 25% discount on many glasses. -

@Steffen
They’re typically all done In limited runs.
For example my ichikawas are number 234/500
And my Richard’s are 190/350. If you see something you like jump on it. I believe the Enzo’s have a larger run seemingly more of them around.To answer plainly I don’t believe they do re runs of “old” frames. At least that’s how it was explained.

@thehambergerlar Just a quick heads up that the post you replied to was a few years old and the poster for the question hasn’t been on the forum for about the same length of time. You probably will not get a response from him.

@goosehd
Fair enough! Missed the date there for sure.
-
@mclaincausey actually their resale value has come down. they've quite a few number of precious metals (full rose/ yellow gold) models available at retail.
problem is since the resale value has come down, a lot of yellow and rose gold models from a couple years back are under retail too.
-
@JerkStore are they actual JMM boutiques or eyewear retailers?
-
@louisbosco the store in Milan is their first outside of LA. It is a JMM store and not a reseller.
-
-
@JerkStore get any pics?
-
No. I was too excited about the straight 13% discount because their tax refund global blue wasn't set up.

Early birthday gift from a great friend.
JMM Grand Prix styled after Paul Newman. Though I find they look way more in line with the Master himself…
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...
