Heading back to the rebellious vibe of the 1960s, eyewear brand Jacques Marie Mage invites us to celebrate the distinct style and iconoclastic spirit of Johnny Cash with their new Johnny Cash collection of sunglasses. Crafted meticulously in Japan, these limited-edition eyewear pieces are unique tributes to the unforgettable performer who inspires many.
Jacques Marie Mage Johnny Cash Collection
An array of colors, such as Beluga, Dark Havana, Bloodstone, and Ocre, characterize the collection. The first frame, dubbed The Cash, draws inspiration from a historic moment—Cash’s arrest in El Paso, Texas, in 1965, his second that year. It’s rectangular, echoing the glasses he wore at the time. It features a statement brow, high temples, and touches of precious metal, embodying the gritty charisma of the ‘Man in Black.’
Meanwhile, the second frame, The Quentin, introduces itself with a different personality. Also, a rectangular frame in Ocre, Hickory Fade, Dark Havana, and Apollo presents a smart and structured look. The unique features of this design—the hatchet-shaped front pins and distinct paddle temples—make a striking impression. The Quentin finds its roots in a photograph of an inmate during Cash’s legendary concert at San Quentin state prison in 1969.
Jacques Marie Mage’s Johnny Cash collection is more than just a line of sunglasses. It is a tribute to a musical icon who danced to the beat of his own drum, capturing his spirit in beautifully handcrafted frames. The collection skillfully marries history, style, and craftsmanship, bringing the legacy of Johnny Cash into the modern era in a most stylish manner. It challenges us to embrace our individuality, echoing Cash’s mantra to live on our terms.
