Handcrafted in Italy, the Jacques Marie Mage collection of limited-edition leather goods are subtle and studious historically-inspired statement pieces that reflect the respect we hold for the centuries-old traditions of leathercraft, and our commitment to elevating the intimate objects of everyday life to the status of modern heirlooms.
The distinct design and exemplary construction of the Circa Leather Collection highlights the recognizable hallmarks of Jacques Marie Mage—the hairline Art Deco details; the precious metal embellishments; the foil-stamped JMM insignia. Look closely and you’ll find additional touches of artistry and craftsmanship, from custom lambskin linings to hand-painted edges.
Each elegant collectible holds layer upon layer of distinction, requiring an intensive artisanal undertaking unlike many others. It begins with selecting only the finest, responsibly produced leathers, which are then expertly die-cut and painstakingly skived to ensure the slim shape and supple volumes of each product.
Interiors are reinforced with additional pieces of leather and fabric, fused together and skillfully sewn to withstand the rigors of pocket and purse. The resulting collectible is the product of a prolonged engagement with an intensive process, taking nearly six months to evolve from design to finished masterpiece.
