    Grainy Leather

    This full grain leather comes from the top layer of the hide and includes all of the natural grain. It may carry natural imperfections, such as veins or wrinkles. As such, each piece is unique and selected for its specificities and history.
    For surface stains, we recommend cleaning with a soft, damp cloth.

    Deer Leather

    A high quality leather known for its softness and suppleness, as well as for its resistance and durability. These qualities make deer leather one of the finest leathers in the luxury industry.
    For surface stains, we recommend cleaning with a soft, damp cloth.

    Spazzolato Leather

    'Spazzolato’ leather is a refined brushed leather. The brushed finish gives it a shiny look. This is a luxurious and delicate leather to be treated with great care. Over time, the leather will follow its natural evolution and some marks will appear.
    For surface stains, we recommend cleaning with a soft, damp cloth.

    Patent Leather

    A coating has been applied to the leather for a glossy effect. For surface stains, we recommend cleaning with a soft, damp cloth.

    Nappa Lambskin Leather

    Nappa is a full-grain lambskin of the highest quality. The raw material is qualitatively ideal to be used in leather goods and gloves due to its softness. It is a very natural leather, as it does not have any treatments that cover its characteristics, only a slight finish that enhances its softness.
    Slight imperfections are part of the beauty of the article, because it is not masked by additional layers but is left plain in order to enhance its natural characteristics. The leather features an extremely fine grain, with a soft, silky feel to the touch — an effect further enhanced by the tanning methods used.
    For care instructions, we recommend consulting a leather specialist.

    Goat Leather

    Goat leather is resistant and has a subtle sheen.
    For care and maintenance, we recommend consulting a leather specialist.

    Vintage Leather

    The studio sought a softer, more luxurious leather with a refined appearance reminiscent of traditional glove-making. Distinguished by its fineness and precious quality, vintage leather has become an iconic leather for the women’s Tabi.

    Rubber

    Made from a recycled and biodegradable rubber with softness and give a luxury touch.
    For surface stains, we recommend cleaning with a soft, damp cloth.

    Box Leather

    Box calf is a type of leather taken from calves. Although box calf has a pliable feel, it is firm in consistency. Its grain side is embossed with an extraordinarily fine grain pattern that is really luxury.
    For surface stains, we recommend cleaning with a soft, damp cloth.

    Varnished calfskin

    Varnished calfskin is carefully selected after tanning to ensure a higher-quality varnishing. It is a very soft leather which, despite being varnished, has a very silky and soft-to-the-touch feel.
    The finished leather is smooth and shiny. Being a very natural varnish, it may lead to small imperfections due to the natural aspects of the leather.
    For surface stains, we recommend cleaning with a soft, damp cotton cloth.

    Bianchetto

    The Bianchetto handmade technique is part of the DNA of the house. Since its creation, the paint is made to cover objects and clothes in the same way as walls are painted: the unique effect indicates the passage of time and recalls purity.
    Garments with this effect should be washed inside out. However, shoes and bags should not be washed, as this could damage the product's print.
    Reinforcing the will to show the passage of time, the hand-made paint can crackle with use.

    Eco-cashemire

    Eco-cashmere means that at least 50% of the fiber used for the garment is recycled.

  • Maison Margiela fragrances are created to the highest standards of quality, inviting you to discover a unique olfactory experience.
    Inspired by the clothing and accessories collection of the same name, REPLICA fragrances evoke familiar memories and moments through scent, recalling images, impressions, and emotions.

    How do I wear my fragrance?

    In order to amplify the diffusion of the fragrance, we invite you to spray it on the pulsating areas which are located behind the ears, on the wrists and at the hollow of the elbows.

    Candle care

    When using the candle for the first time, we recommend letting it burn for one hour to ensure an even burn. After each use, reposition the wick within the wax - this helps prevent it from drifting too close to the glass and causing overheating. Trim the wick after each use to a length of 3 to 5 mm.

    Delivery

    Fragrances can be shipped to Europe, the United States, and Japan, in limited quantities.
