MADE IN JAPAN – 250 STEPS, 71 HOURS AND 13 JAPANESE CRAFTSMEN MAKE THE MASTERPIECE THAT IS EACH PAIR OF MATSUDA GLASSES.
In the traditional eyewear workshops of Sabae in Japan, up to 250 work steps are necessary to bring the unique eyewear from Matsuda to life. Each of the frames is the result of the interplay of decades of experimentation and innovative engagement with high-quality materials, unique design and traditional craftsmanship – making Matsuda the perfect symbiosis of tradition and innovation.
That is why we love Matsuda.
Yours Christian Leidmann

»We are scouring the globe not only for leading brands, but for collections that meet our sense of design and supreme craftsmanship. Following this belief, Matsuda from Japan is a perfect example of detail-oriented dedication to artistry and passion for aesthetics. This in combination with the relentless drive for creative exploration for over five decades is what makes each of the handmade Matsuda glasses a masterpiece in our eyes.«
The Matsuda story
In the 1960s, founder Mitsuhiro Matsuda, inspired by his study of traditional Japanese fashion, experimented with innovative designs that had a deep connection to Japan's past. With influences from architecture, art and jazz, Matsuda opened the door to an international, avant-garde wave of new design steeped in Japan's cultural heritage and designed for tomorrow.
