JB Mariano III founded his eponymous luxury accessories company, JB3, as a way to reconcile his Italian heritage with his American upbringing. After a combined 15 years of travel and study within Italy—first in Rome, and later in Florence and Milan—JB reconnected with his roots and fell in love with the country’s sartorial authenticity. While studying in Milan, JB connected with a family-run factory that showed a genuine appreciation for the precision, craftsmanship, and care that goes into each product. Now, that factory produces each piece in close collaboration with Mariano himself. This partnership laid the foundation for JB3’s inaugural collection of high-quality, well-designed eyewear with bold colors that bring the refined Italian lifestyle stateside. While his first collection focused solely on eyewear, Mariano is excited to extend the brand’s offering to include additional accessories, all designed and created to be a true embodiment of timeless Italian excellence. Styles retail for $185 and are sold exclusively on www.jb3official.com. Follow along on Instagram @jb3official_.
