In collaboration with iconic designer Umit Bernan, a selection of new and classic Jacques Marie Mage models was created, available in a variety of unique colour combinations. The Capsule collection was inspired by the heroes of the French avant-garde and the American West. The result is unique fashion expressions at the highest level.
We are proud to present this unique collaboration to you at Leidmann.
Yours Christian Leidmann

»Umit Benan and Jerome Mage are united by their uncompromising dedication to quality. This commitment is visible and tangible in every detail of their joint collection: the high-quality materials such as the vegetable-based acetate, the responsibly sourced precious metals and genuine, undyed turquoise are handcrafted in Japan in limited quantities by masters of their craft. The results are unique fashion expressions of the highest quality, which we are proud to present to you at Leidmann.«
The collections of fashion designer Umit Benan are characterised by exceptionally high material quality and the urge to tell stories. In doing so, the designer playfully wanders across the boundaries between life, fantasy, culture and fiction - blurring them just too smoothly.
With his label B+, Umit Benan skilfully plays with gender- and season-independent luxury for men and women alike, breaks codes and thus creates unique works of fashion art.
