Maison Margiela | A Tabi Film

A TABI FILM: A film directed by Yuri Ancarani offering an in-depth look at the craftmanship of the Maison Margiela Tabi, introduced in 1989 at our first show. The film traces the journey of a pair of Tabi from concept to final assembly. In an artisanal process, every stage is carried out by hand. Preparing the base takes up to four hours, followed by the mould: cut from a block of wood, then stitching, and assembly. The practice gathers 11 artisans, each with their specific expertise, and each shoe is finished with a single white stitch. A Tabi film documents technique and craft, capturing the shoe that endures over time. Footage from the archive depicts the heritage associated with the form that sets it apart.
