From Tradition to Trend

Matsuda Essential Eyewear Collection depicts that the company is fully committed to creating eyewear products of unmatched quality and sleek design. Every frame in this superior collection is a symbol of the authentic centuries-long Japanese craft as every frame is made with more than 200 stages of detailed manual work. All the artisans at Matsuda are unrivaled in their skills and the company takes time to hand-make each frame perfectly. It represents the extraordinary unity of the time-honored craftsmanship and modern aesthetics in the true essence of eyewear that goes beyond an element of adornment and turns into art on the face.

The Essential Collection includes a limited number of the best materials available on the market, which were chosen after a detailed comparison using subjective and objective criteria. Titanium alloys are light yet strong; acetate is rich and elegant; and noble metals like sterling silver and 18-karat gold are hand-carved, tooled, and beautifully polished to provide functionality and design cohesiveness. From material cutting to final polishing touches and everything else in between, the dedication to detail can be observed right from the seams. This meticulous care and effort invested at each stage starting from the conceptualization of the design to the very fine details are exemplified by Matsuda’s attention to detail.

Matsuda's Dedication to Quality and Artistry

  • Handcrafting: The Matsuda Essential Eyewear Collection can undoubtedly be named as a perfect example of craftsmanship since each of the eyewear pieces is made by hand in Japan. This is the best evidence of quality that this brand has trusted in the production process, which entails about 200 steps. This is a labor-intensive technique which is used to ensure that every detail of the frame is carefully worked on and can be more than just a piece of accessory that is associated with eye protection devices but more like pieces of art that people can put on their faces.
  • Quality Control: Matsuda’s quality assurance is something they strictly uphold, and this is demonstrated in the quality control they subject their products through. Each frame passes through a rigorous vetting and fixing regime in order to make an ideal product. This means that no aspect is taken lightly and there is no compromise when it comes to quality and durable designs that the Essential Collection frames exhibit.
  • Engravings: In the city of Sabae, only two master engravers remain, and one of them exclusively works with Matsuda. These artisans need to get these inlay engravings all over the frames; the procedure makes it possible for each frame to have a personalized design. Their skilled fingers and good vision are incorporated into the engraving work and ensure that every engraving is done to perfect detail and standards which has transformed the Essential Collection frames into artwork that can be worn.
  • Polishing: Polishing work for Matsuda Essential Collection frames is done by polishers through finishing in the last process of frame production. These master craftsmen then spent time delicately hand polishing each frame and offering a highly smooth and refined look which is enhanced by its comfort and durability to sustain the harshest treatment for a lifetime. This is evident where the polishing process has been given the deserved attention; Matsuda has ensured that the fashion aspect of eyewear is not taken at the expense of functionality.

Iconic Versatility of the Essential Collection

The M3023 model recalls the typical Aviator shape but is given a unique touch of elegance and opulence as seen through the Matsuda lens. Being made from carefully selected acetate and metal, these sunglasses provide a high degree of sturdiness and comfort. The outer coating is made of acetate that gives it the lightweight feature it has and the metal part gives it the strength and the class it deserves. Thus, the M3023 model is intended for men, inspired by Aviator eyewear with the help of different additional features, incorporated into the frames by Matsuda and famous for its high level of workmanship and accuracy of production. The outcome is a stunning timelessly comfortable piece that combines the initial Art Deco inspiration with contemporary manufacturing.

The rimless M3104-A Sun model offers today’s look boasting a broad square frame. Constructed fully of metal and with the specific measurement of the men's and women’s face in mind, these unisex sunglasses are fashionable and durable. The square model is perfect for this purpose because it is very striking in terms of its design and shape and can enhance a number of face shapes.

For those who wish to avoid flashiness and seek something more elegant, the M3105-E would suit best. These unisex prescription eyeglasses do not have rims and have an oval shape which gives the eyeglasses a clean look. This is because the M3105-E is made from lightweight, yet highly durable metal to give you long-wearing comfort. So, the absence of a rim not only contributes to minimalistic design but also makes these glasses perfect for business-like people with refined taste. Each pair is hand-crafted to make the wearer see the world through a different perspective while wearing eyewear that takes a step up from the normal.

M2056 is a representative of the modern Wayfarer style due to the use of both acetate and metal for the construction of the frame. This Wayfarer design is one of the most recognizable types of spectacles on the globe. This model’s acetate front allows for an edgier look, while the metal temples give a more modern, sleek appearance. Intended for and made for comfort and total wearability, the M2056 is an everyday watch, framed with the very best materials and construction of the brand’s standard but with Matsuda’s rigorous quality assurance processes.
