DEVAUX col.Bordeaux Empire

DEVAUX by JACQUES MARIE MAGE takes inspiration from the streamlined forms of American modernism and refined industrial design.

Since its introduction in summer 2019, it has become one of the brand's signature models, distinguished by its classic character and carefully composed form.

The design combines a softly rounded lens shape with a 10mm-thick acetate frame. A 43mm lens width and 27mm bridge give it compact proportions, while the substantial rims create a strong presence.

The balance between the straight browline and gently rounded corners of the lens shape is another defining feature. Its clean, pared-back silhouette retains a classic character.

The front features the brand's signature sterling-silver arrowhead pins. Spur-shaped rivets on the temples add delicate accents to the simple acetate frame.

BORDEAUX EMPIRE is a colourway built around deep Bordeaux.

The front uses glossy Bordeaux acetate. Within its subdued, almost-black tone are reddish-purple nuances that change with the light.

The laminated temple construction is particularly striking. Clear acetate on the outside is paired with the same Bordeaux colour as the front on the inside, creating depth through the contrasting colours.

A finely engraved metal wire core is visible through the clear acetate, bringing JACQUES MARIE MAGE's decorative detail to the side view as well.

The lenses are a deep dark brown, with a 2-base curve and 10% visible light transmission.

The warmth of Bordeaux harmonises naturally with the subdued dark brown lenses, creating a classic yet refined impression.

DEVAUX col.BORDEAUX EMPIRE is produced in a limited edition of 350 pieces worldwide.

A carefully composed design rooted in American modernism, substantial construction in 10mm-thick acetate, and the beautiful contrast of deep Bordeaux with delicate silver-toned decoration.

This frame offers the classic beauty and meticulous craftsmanship distinctive to JACQUES MARIE MAGE.
