MATSUDA

A Masterclass in Metalwork

Matsuda is a Japanese luxury eyewear house revered for its extraordinary craftsmanship, architectural influence, and devotion to timeless design. Founded in Tokyo in 1967 by fashion designer Mitsuhiro Matsuda, the brand combines heritage with innovation to produce eyewear that is both sophisticated and expressive—artfully bridging the worlds of fashion, design, and precision engineering.

Every Matsuda frame is handcrafted in the Sabae region of Japan, a place internationally recognized for its master artisans and dedication to traditional eyewear making. Each pair can take up to two years to complete, involving over 250 steps and the careful hands of skilled craftspeople. The brand uses only the highest quality materials, including lightweight titanium, Japanese acetate, stainless steel, and even 18k gold or sterling silver in some limited designs.

Matsuda frames are instantly recognizable for their intricate detailing—hand-engraved filigree, sculptural forms, and vintage-inspired silhouettes that draw from historical references and futuristic aesthetics alike. With influences ranging from Gothic architecture to classic motorcycling goggles, each frame feels like a wearable piece of art.

For those who seek eyewear that expresses individuality and artistry, Matsuda offers something truly exceptional: a deep respect for tradition, an obsession with detail, and an uncompromising vision of modern luxury. These are not just glasses—they are heirloom-quality statements that reflect refinement, creativity, and purpose.​​​
