Maison Margiela has released “A Tabi film,” a close look at one of its most important symbols. The film explores the craftsmanship and meaning behind the Tabi shoe, a signature of the house since its first show in 1989. The split-toe design, inspired by traditional Japanese socks, is instantly recognizable.
The film follows the journey of a single pair of Tabis, from concept to completion. The process is entirely artisanal, with every step done by hand. Preparing the base alone can take up to four hours. This is followed by creating a mould from a block of wood, then stitching, and final assembly.
The work brings together eleven artisans, each with a specific skill. Their collective mastery and feel for the shoe’s unique form ensures a standard of quality that cannot be achieved by a machine. Each shoe is finished with a single white stitch, the identifying mark of the Maison.
