Designed with “big thinkers and ambitious outcasts” in mind, Jacques Marie Mage’s ZEPHIRIN frame style was named in honor of Pope Zephyrinus — the second-century Bishop of Rome who spent his papacy combatting heresies and defending the divinity of Christ, even in the face of incredible popular opposition. Ideal for heart, oval, and oblong face shapes, the ZEPHIRIN captures a bit of this boldness with distinctive pre-WWII sizing and sculpted temple construction.

Jacques Marie Mage recently announced a limited run of the classic ZEPHIRIN frame with a dark tortoise acetate frame. The Demi-Tortoise ZEPHIRIN also features custom double-laminated acetate temples, sterling silver hardware, and green six-base mineral glass lenses that offer 100 percent protection from ultraviolet light and full backside anti-reflective treatment. The Demi-Tortoise ZEPHIRIN designers have also included key finishing touches such as a burgundy domed 3D metal cameo logo.

Each Demi-Tortoise ZEPHIRIN sold comes complete with an Italian-handcrafted leather case, a microfiber cleaning cloth/pocket square, and a letterhead press certificate with limited edition serial number and craftsmen signature. If you want to get your hands on this distinctive pair of sunglasses, don’t wait too long. Jacques Marie Mage has capped production numbers at just 350.
