Glam Slam Shoulder Bag

The Glam Slam pochette in quilted sanded couch leather — a domestic upholstery material brought into a fashion context as an expression of Maison Margiela's ongoing dialogue with interiors. The distressed, mottled surface is drawn taut over a pillow-like padded body. A front flap carries our four stitches; the opposite of a label. Finished with an adjustable flat shoulder strap in matching leather.

Interiors: Since the 1990s, interior fabrics and decorative surfaces have been reappropriated as unexpected materials of dressmaking. Removed from their original context, familiar domestic references are transformed through clothing and accessories.
