Tabi new ballerina

Tabi new ballerinaMaison 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
