The "M3171" features a simple, refined Boston shape.
It is a piece that combines a classic metal frame with the intricate detailing and three-dimensional craftsmanship unique to MATSUDA.

The front, with its 48mm lens width, has a silhouette that neatly pulls together its rounded, soft contours. With a well-balanced form that is not overly assertive, it is designed to be worn naturally in any setting, from casual to business.

The sides of the front feature three-dimensional detailing reminiscent of wind guards. The metal parts extending along the rims near the outer corners are adorned with fine, line-like engravings. While maintaining a refined look from the front, the depth of the craftsmanship stands out from diagonal and side angles, reflecting the distinctive character of MATSUDA.

The arched bridge is finished with delicate engraving. Together with the fine, granular ornamentation bordering the edges, it adds a touch of classic elegance to the center of the simple front.

The temples feature a striped pattern created using a special printing technique. The fine textures catch the light to create shadows, adding depth to the metal's finish. Beneath this pattern, the MATSUDA logo subtly peeks through, reflecting a meticulous attention to detail even in such an understated presentation.

The BG-MBK colorway combines muted gold with matte black. The black framing the front of the rims sharpens the soft contours of the Boston shape, while the contrast with the gentle luster of the gold adds a sophisticated brilliance to the classic form.

This piece embodies the beauty of MATSUDA's unique craftsmanship and ornamentation within a refined form that fits perfectly into everyday life.

Patterns and colours may vary slightly between individual frames and from the images shown.

About the brand
Brand logo
MATSUDA is a luxury eyewear brand founded in 1989 by Mitsuhiro Matsuda, the founder of the fashion brand “NICOLE” and one of the “Top Designers Six (TD6)” who led the Japanese fashion scene in the 1980s.

Drawing on the aesthetic sensibilities cultivated during his career as a fashion designer, Matsuda fuses classic, avant-garde, and architectural elements. By combining the exquisite craftsmanship of skilled Japanese artisans with carefully selected materials such as titanium and acetate, the brand creates eyewear with the meticulous detail and commanding presence of works of art.

The brand is defined by delicate metalwork and substantial, three-dimensional construction. Its original designs, evoking Victorian culture, Art Deco, and even steampunk, transcend mere vision correction to earn worldwide acclaim as “wearable art.”

In the 1990s, the brand gained widespread international support after being worn by Hollywood movie stars and renowned artists. Its distinctive worldview and striking sculptural beauty captivated many celebrities and fashion icons, propelling MATSUDA to global prominence.

Although the brand was temporarily suspended, it was revived in 2011 by a new design team. Carrying forward the philosophy and craftsmanship established by Mitsuhiro Matsuda, the brand now offers collections that incorporate a contemporary sensibility.

Unswayed by the passage of time or prevailing trends, MATSUDA remains steadfast in its unique aesthetic. Its eyewear, a fusion of Japanese craftsmanship and fashion culture, continues to captivate eyewear enthusiasts around the world.
