Matsuda

Matsuda Eyewear is one of the top and most sought after luxury eyewear brands in the world. In a world that emphasizes immediacy, Matsuda chooses to anchor themselves in traditions of craftsmanship and thoughtful execution. Handcrafted in Japan, the distinctly Japanese approach of combining handcrafted techniques and innovative technology guides their philosophy of experimentation. Each finished creation is an art object unto itself — as pleasing to the hand as it is to the eye.

Created by Mitsuhiro Matsuda, each Matsuda frame is handcrafted in the city of Sabae, Japan, where over 250 steps (71 hours) are required to create a single frame by craftsman that have mastered the process through decades of learning, as well as knowledge passed on from generation to generation.

Every hinge, temple, and component used in their eyewear is thoughtfully considered and uniquely designed for each collection. From their iconic side shields to innovative pince-nez bridges, Matsudas designs are an unmistakable homage to our heritage today, yet still redefined for tomorrow. Matsuda uses the finest metals in the world – titanium, stainless steel, sterling silver, and 18K solid gold – and the highest quality acetate forms that are sculpted exclusively from an organic plastic derived from cotton and cured for over three months prior to construction. Carefully crafted, their exquisite designs is what has customers returning to buy Matsuda eyewear year after year.

The brand's innovative designs and attention to detail have made it a favorite among Hollywood celebrities and fashion icons. Matsuda is famously known in movies – Linda Hamilton (Sarah Connor) in Terminator 2, Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark) in Iron Man 3, Chris Hemsworth in Extraction, and also worn by celebrities such as Sean “P. Diddy” Combs.
