    50 YEARS OF EXPLORATION

    For over 50 years, Matsuda has been a leader in the world of fashion design, continually exploring and pushing the boundaries of creativity. Mitsuhiro Matsuda, the brand's founder, began experimenting with deconstructing western design through the lens of traditional Japanese fashion in the 1960s. His designs were playful, innovative, and deeply connected to the past, blending elements of European romance, Gothic architecture, Victorian art, and American jazz. This approach opened the door for a new wave of avant-garde design that was rooted in cultural heritage but designed for the future.


    Today, Matsuda continues to innovate and create unique, timeless pieces that are sought after by fashion enthusiasts and collectors worldwide. The brand combines exquisite craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology and materials, resulting in unparalleled quality and design. Matsuda's commitment to quality and creativity is evident in each piece, standing as a testament to the enduring power of exploration and innovation in fashion design.

    MASTERS OF METAL

    Matsuda understands that exceptional design requires exceptional materials. This is why they meticulously source the finest metals in the world, including titanium, stainless steel, sterling silver, and 18k solid gold, to craft their eyewear. Skilled Japanese artisans then transform these raw materials into intricately detailed works of art, using techniques that few others would dare attempt.


    At Matsuda, quality takes precedence over mass production, evident in every aspect of their work. From the careful selection of materials to the precise execution of each detail, their craftsmen approach every step of the process with unwavering dedication to excellence. It's this uncompromising commitment to quality that has earned Matsuda a reputation for luxury and artistry.

    SCULPTORS OF ACETATE

    Matsuda's acetate frames are crafted exclusively from an organic plastic derived from cotton, which undergoes a rigorous curing process lasting over three months prior to construction. This intricate method produces colors that are rich, vibrant, and incredibly durable.


    Matsuda's commitment to quality extends beyond the careful selection of materials. Each piece of acetate is meticulously hand-finished by master polishers who have spent a decade perfecting their craft. The result is an eyewear collection with a uniquely soft feel and an elegant, long-lasting finish. Designed to withstand the rigors of daily use, every piece is built to become a timeless addition to your collection for years to come.
