–SPECIAL– "Maison Margiela" 18’s-21’s Quilted pillow leather shoulder bag

Color peeling on the opening part

Based on the aesthetic of anonymity, quietly reversing structure and symbols, Maison Margiela continues to present new value to modern wardrobes, and here is an iconic piece symbolizing the brand's second golden era.

This exquisite piece of Glam Slam embodies a design that also considers the comfort of touch at the moment of contact.

First impression is the volume of quilted leather with rounded, cloud-like softness, with the surface dotted with depressions resembling tufting, creating a soft presence as if holding a cushion.

Relying not only on visual luxury but also transforming tactile sensation into value elevates this bag beyond a mere leather bag.

The opening's outline stands out like a frame top, providing a neat tension at the top in contrast to the soft body, making it less likely to lose shape when placed and helping to keep daily movements beautifully organized.

The thicker leather shoulder strap features a rectangular leather buckle, and the structure that speaks of adjustment through the texture of leather rather than metal assertion connects to Margiela's characteristic quietness.

On the front, a calendar tag with numbers from 0 to 23 is arranged, with a circle around 11 to clearly indicate its belonging to the accessory collection, and the four-stitch securing the corners functions as a symbol to be remembered rather than a logo for display.

The leather patch inside bears the markings of Maison Margiela and MADE IN ITALY, and the absence of Martin's marking indicates it is from the current logo period.

The estimated period is from 2018 to around 2021, and since Glam Slam was first presented on the Spring/Summer 2018 runway, it is physically impossible for it to be from before 2017. Additionally, the initial specifications with thick material straps and large leather buckles are key to its credibility.

In recent years, with variations like chains and different materials increasing, this piece retains the most iconic early outline, making it a valuable future archive.

The added value of this bag lies in its design that includes not only the tool to carry but also the act of holding, establishing itself as a masterpiece that clearly embodies John Galliano's concept of unconscious glamour.

It seems to record the moment when luxury shifts from attracting attention to providing comfort, making it a compelling piece as part of MOOD's special collection.

Styling-wise, pairing with tailored setups or neat coats and adding a touch of softness in texture as a subtle contrast enhances the beautiful contrast of Margiela, and by complementing minimal outfits like dresses, shirts, and slacks, the bag's volume gently neutralizes the body's lines.

By deliberately not adding accessories and making the calendar tag and four-stitch the quiet main features, it creates a refined atmosphere regardless of gender.

Definitely take this opportunity.
