The "M3171" is characterized by its simple and elegant 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 a lens width of 48mm, features a silhouette that neatly organizes its soft, rounded contours. With a well-balanced form that is not overly assertive, it is designed to be naturally incorporated into any scene, from casual to business settings.

Both sides of the front feature a three-dimensional design reminiscent of wind guards. The metal parts protruding along the rims at the outer corners are adorned with fine, line-like engravings. While maintaining a neat impression from the front, the depth of the design stands out from oblique and side angles, conveying the distinct personality characteristic of MATSUDA.

The arched bridge is embellished with delicate engravings. Along with the fine, beaded ornamentation decorating the edges, it adds a touch of classic splendor to the center of the simple front.

The temples feature a striped pattern created using a special printing technique. The subtle texture captures the light to create shadows, adding depth to the metal's finish. Beneath this pattern, the MATSUDA logo is subtly visible, reflecting a meticulous attention to detail even in such a discreet expression that blends into the decoration.

The color PW-BLK is a scheme that combines lustrous silver with black. The black that edges the front of the rim sharpens the soft contours of the Boston shape, and the contrast with the bright gleam of the silver creates an intellectual and sophisticated look.

This is a piece that possesses the beauty of form and decoration unique to MATSUDA, while maintaining an elegant shape that blends 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.
