Maison Margiela

Men's Black 'Tabi' Babouche

The Maison Margiela Tabi Babouche is a black leather slip-on with the house's signature split toe, built from lamb leather. In the photos the hide shows a soft, slightly crinkled grain and a satin sheen, with a narrow black sole and a clean, low-cut collar that slides on without laces or fastenings. The silhouette is sculptural and minimal, with the divided toe as its single, deliberate detail. Wear it with tailored black trousers or wide-leg denim and a cashmere knit for a considered, avant-garde contrast to polished tailoring. It suits an evening out or a travel day in mild or transitional weather, as its leather keeps the foot closer to the air than a breathable shoe would. Does not breathe much; cool weather or as a layer. Medium warmth; between seasons. No ironing needed. Wipe with a damp cloth; use a leather protector. Maison Margiela 'Tabi' babouche redefines the codes of contemporary elegance through a deconstructed silhouette. Made of fine black lambskin with a softly textured finish, this shoe features the iconic 'Tabi' split toe, an unmistakable symbol of the Maison's manufacture. The slip-on design with a regular fit is characterized by a deconstructed and foldable heel, which allows a versatile and sophisticated double fit. On the back, the single white 'Signature' stands out, a distinctive detail that marks the identity of the brand, while the interior reveals the printed logo. An essential creation that celebrates the purity of forms through a minimal and avant-garde aesthetic. - 'Tabi' split toe - Foldable heel - Slip-on design - 'Signature' stitching at the back - Leather sole - Logo printed on the insole Specification Value Brand MAISON MARGIELA Composition 100% lamb leather (Ovis aries) Made In Italy Size & Fit EU MEN Colour Black Gender Men Season Fall Winter 2026/2027 Styling: Wear with tailored black trousers or wide-leg denim and a cashmere knit for a deliberate, avant-garde counterpoint to polished tailoring.
