Maison Margiela presents the Tabi new ballerinas, which take their design from ballerina shoes in the house archives. They are crafted in soft nappa leather with a hand crafted used treament applied at the folds, base and seams, manually worked to create an artisanal vintage effect. They feature the Tabi split-toe, inspired by the traditional 15th century Japanese sock bearing the same name – launched for the Maison's debut collection in 1989. It captures the avant-garde and insubordinate spirit of the Maison and exists as a heritage classic, continually explored through each collection.
