JACQUES MARIE MAGE x HAIDER ACKERMANN – MELCHIOR in AMETHYST

Vision

The MELCHIOR in AMETHYST expresses the refined dialogue between avant-garde fashion and exceptional eyewear craftsmanship. Designed as part of the exclusive Jacques Marie Mage x Haider Ackermann collaboration, this limited-edition frame embodies individuality, artistic freedom, and timeless sophistication.

Inspired by the poetic attitude of Bob Dylan and the distinctive creative vision of Haider Ackermann, the MELCHIOR balances sharp lines with sculptural elegance. The sleek rectangular silhouette feels bold yet controlled. At the same time, the beveled brow and layered temple construction create depth and movement from every angle.

This is a frame designed for those who embrace style with confidence and subtle intensity.

Crafted to Perfection

Handcrafted in Japan from 10mm plant-based cured cellulose acetate, the MELCHIOR reflects the uncompromising quality of Jacques Marie Mage. The polished black front pairs beautifully with custom double-laminated temples featuring clear exteriors and rich havana interiors. As a result, the frame reveals a sophisticated play of light and texture.

Silver palladium nautical-inspired temple motifs with dark gold accents elevate the design with understated luxury. In addition, exposed dark gold ‘HAIDER’ wirecores and custom 7-barrel hinges with refined hairline details reinforce the frame’s architectural precision. Inside the temples, Mr. Ackermann’s signature appears foil-stamped in silver alongside exclusive hallmarks.

Orchid CR39 lenses with backside anti-reflective treatment provide sharp optical clarity and comfortable daily wear. Their soft violet tone introduces a unique visual identity while preserving elegance and versatility.

Limited Production Batch

Produced in a worldwide edition of only 350 pieces, the MELCHIOR in AMETHYST is a rare collector’s frame that merges fashion, artistry, and craftsmanship into one exceptional object.

Packaging

Each pair arrives in a luxurious monograph box set wrapped in embossed black leather with python pattern detailing. The set includes a custom eyewear case, oversized pocket-square cleaning cloth, commemorative silk scarf, and authenticity card.

The MELCHIOR in AMETHYST transforms bold design into wearable art through precision, elegance, and unmistakable character.
