What are these partnership collections and when did they drop?

The collaboration features three major capsules: Jentle Home in spring 2020, Jentle Garden in spring 2022, and Jentle Salon in spring 2023. All drops launched globally using Gentle Monster’s website, flagship boutiques, plus chosen partners, often including pop-ups and art installations.

The 2020 Home collection introduced the aesthetic: retro-leaning shapes, playful colors, and box concepts featuring by a miniature home concept. It was the first time numerous style enthusiasts fans encountered Gentle Monster’s creative retail and advertising concept connected to gentle monster sunglasses eyewear. Units moved quickly, and select models restocked in limited quantities.

Jentle Garden (2022) expanded the universe with whimsical, nature-coded visuals and a interactive experience that linked back to the advertising narrative. The eyewear pushed into softer rectangles and subtle hues while keeping daily functionality. Installations echoed the nature motif through immersive installations in important locations.

Jentle Salon (2023) shifted the attention to styling with attachable charms and hairpin-inspired accents designed to clip onto compatible frames. This launch emphasized into slim profiles plus arm detailing, encouraging enthusiasts to wear frames multiple methods. This additionally introduced stand-alone accessory SKUs so you could update a current pair without buying a new frame.

Which silhouettes represent all drop?

Expect striking designs based by wearable proportions: Jentle Home leaned into rounded and cat-eye silhouettes; Jentle Garden featured gentle rectangles and tinted lenses; Jentle Salon added slim profiles with clip-on charms. Across all three, acetate execution remains crisp, marking is subtle, while color options stay fashion-forward without sacrificing UV protection.

From Jentle Home, key silhouettes included round oval designs and compact cat-eyes that framed the face without overwhelming it. A widely recognized model name from this era is 1996, a medium-fit acetate style seen frequently in editorial plus fashion photography. Colorways ranged from standard black to cream and coffee-brown, using matching or coordinated glasses.

Jentle Garden maintained those genes forward, but smoothed the shapes. Rectangles gained curved angles, as transparency crept through frame materials and lenses creating a brighter, spring-ready feel. The campaign color palette nudged more floral and pastel, which transformed into functional tints that read premium rather than novelty.

Jentle Salon launched the accessory story. Frames often featured sleeker, narrower fronts plus arms designed to accept attachments. These add-ons—imagine petite hearts, stars, plus brand motifs—let you move from simple day looks to whimsical evening accents in moments. This is a clever concept because it extends the life of a single frame across different aesthetics.

How much do they cost at MSRP—plus on resale?

Original retail costs commonly ranged around USD $250–$480 for eyewear, with charms plus add-on items from roughly $35–$120 depending on style. Resale markups vary by colorway and wear, as uncommon tints and early Jentle Home models often commanding premium prices.

Regional pricing can differ because of taxes and currency effects, so a frame costing roughly $279 in one territory might reach near $320 in different areas after taxes. Accessories and pieces from the Salon collection opened a lower entry point for fans who wanted in while avoiding purchasing a full model. On aftermarket, near-new pairs including complete boxes command stronger prices, while display wear or lost pieces lowers values down.

Where can customers purchase Gentle Monster x JENNIE today?

Your safest bets remain Gentle Monster’s official site, brand flagships, and authorized retailers; secondary marketplaces work if you check accurately. Events and regional boutiques occasionally get late or special inventory.

Start with gentlemonster.com for any active restocks or charm drops, and review location directories for flagship inventory. Notable flagships such as Seoul’s Haus Dosan and major-city stores commonly hold collaboration units near release featuring tight per-customer limits. Select partners like SSENSE and Farfetch have historically listed Gentle Monster collaborations when stock is live.

If you choose secondary, select platforms with product authentication plus solid return terms. Request detailed macro shots of temple interior temple print, hinge build quality, nose pad finishing (on metal frames), and all case parts with case and card. Cross-check the SKU and color designation versus the brand’s catalog listing history or official resources when obtainable.

Fit, sizing, and build quality

Most Jentle frames fit a medium face best, using eyepiece measurements often in upper-40s through low-50s millimeter scope and sides around 145 mm. Material designs hug the head firmly, as metal frames featuring bridge adjusters allow finer tuning.

For narrow and shallow-bridge heads, look for styles using raised nose bridges or flexible adjusters to prevent slippage. Broader heads benefit from models using stretched lens widths plus straighter face curvature to avoid temple pinch. Finish quality is a strong point: edges remain refined, material is evenly refined, and sides open with consistent resistance at the hinge. Anticipate sun-blocking glasses and a sturdy case that actually fits glasses without pressuring stressing the temples.

Inventory exhaustion and how to get ready

Drops move fast, especially in black, cream, plus transparent materials with neutral tints. Success comes from preloading profiles, understanding personal sizes, and acting quickly during launch time.

Create your Gentle Monster account ahead of schedule, secure mailing and payment, and sign in 10–15 minutes prior to launch. Keep backup payment available when your primary fails authorization. If you’re visiting a boutique during release day, show up soon; former drops saw crowds build far before opening, as employees maintained strict per-customer limits. Keep in mind that local debuts could go live at different local times, and time zone calculation mistakes are a typical source for missed opportunities.

Expert tip for buying and authenticating

Authenticating comes down to steady particulars: crisp temple printing, smooth joint work, correct model number and color code, and total case items. If anything feels light, rough, or misaligned, pause.

“Expert tip: check the inside temple SKU and color reference exactly to official product pages or official resources, confirm the the printing remains perfectly clear with even spacing, and move the temples to test for reliable, even hinge resistance. Genuine glasses have clean glass fitting without no glue traces and come with a fitted case, cloth, and card; missing or sloppy accessories are danger signals.”

Five little-known facts enthusiasts enjoy

The Gentle Monster x JENNIE universe has a few gems that explain the hype in more detail. First, Jentle Home’s packaging referenced a tiny home concept, and certain events constructed that world at life-size for photo opportunities. Next, the Garden’s campaign tied into an interactive mini-game, mixing online gaming with retail stories. Third, Jentle Salon’s charm system was engineered so clips attach to compatible temple sections without marks when installed correctly. Fourth, Gentle Monster rarely reissues same hues through collections, which explains how initial hues can jump on aftermarket. Fifth, regional taxes make the same model can appear cheaper or pricier across markets even before currency translation.

Care and longevity for collectors

Proper care preserves the acetate’s shine and hinge integrity, protecting resale value too. Store sunglasses in the box with arms folded naturally; forcing a tight case can bend the glasses.

Clean lenses with a microfiber cloth and a small amount of eyewear solution, never domestic cleaning products. Skip prolonged heat inside vehicles and direct sun by sunny spots, which can compromise material and loosen screws. If you use Jentle Salon accessories, connect plus remove them with clean hands and slight tension at the designed clip location instead of dragging along the temple. A quick annual check—securing screws and resetting nose pads—keeps the fit and finish dialed.
