Maison Margiela

Women's Black Tabi New Ballerina Slingbacks

Maison Margiela, Maison Margiela presents the Tabi new ballerinas, which take their design from ballerina shoes in the house archives. The slingbacks have a 3cm heel and are crafted in soft nappa leather, with a handcrafted used treatment 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.
