Founded by Mitsuhiro Matsuda in Tokyo in 1967, Matsuda is a luxury eyewear house celebrated for its fusion of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and an avant-garde design perspective. Originally a fashion designer who was instrumental in establishing Tokyo Fashion Week, Matsuda translated his interest in architectural forms and classic art movements into exquisitely detailed eyewear. The brand’s frames are handcrafted in the workshops of Sabae, Japan, undergoing a meticulous process of up to 250 steps. Signature elements include intricate filigree engraving on precious metals like titanium and sterling silver, and the use of high-quality Japanese acetate aged for months to ensure stability and rich coloration.
