While it retains a rustic feel, the straight tailored silhouette from the shoulders down to the hem keeps the overall form refined, creating a natural ease that does not overly cling to the body—an ideal balance that works for wearers regardless of gender.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt the neckline, a notch lapel is set, with intentionally raw-cut finishes left on the lapel edges and around the collar opening. In a typical tailored jacket, these areas would be folded inward and finished so they would not be visible; here, leaving them as-is reveals the process of how the garment is completed as part of the design. Because the crisp construction of the collar coexists with rough edges, the sense of Margiela’s dismantling and reconstruction is unmistakably conveyed—even though it is a classic jacket.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSimilar cut-off processing is applied to the hem and the edges of the pocket flaps, creating a finish that naturally highlights the texture of the linen fibers. These raw-cut details are not merely for a casual look; they are meant to leave the garment with an intentional hint of incompletion. By repeating the same treatment on the key structural areas that form the jacket’s framework—lapels, hem, and pockets—a unified design intention is created throughout.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe front features four horn-style buttonholes with a beautiful marble pattern, adding depth as an accent to the ecru fabric. The button texture changes with the angle of the light, blending beautifully with the slubbed linen; without relying on excessive decoration, it provides a quiet, understated presence on the front. The waist area is equipped with flap pockets, and there is also a pocket on the chest—ensuring that both the practicality and the structure of a tailored jacket are kept firmly intact.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe cuffs use genuine button plackets (turnback cuffs) with specifications that are actually openable and closable, sewn all the way through to the buttonholes. Even though it is ready-to-wear tailoring, the cuffs are not an area where quality is compromised; these are details that even anticipate the wearer’s movements and possible styling variations. Different elements—linen’s natural character, raw-edged roughness, marble-pattern buttons, and genuine button plackets—are brought together into a cohesive finish that goes beyond relying solely on the simplicity of the materials.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe production basis lies in the production code “2014 01” listed on the inner tag, the brand name “Maison Martin Margiela,” and the name of “Staff International Japan” stated as the domestic distributor. In addition, the calendar tag shows a circled “14.” When the item number and distributor notation are confirmed together, it can be determined that—among the production background around 2013 to 2015—this is a Spring\/Summer 2014 product. It is also the period after Martin Margiela’s departure and before John Galliano’s first collection; therefore, rather than being categorized as a designer’s individual work, it belongs to the design team era product created by the Paris in-house design team.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe fact that “Martin” remains in the brand name is also an important element unique to this period. Even after the founder’s departure, the name “Maison Martin Margiela,” the calendar tag, and the deconstructive tailoring philosophy are carried forward, allowing you to sense the transitional atmosphere of moving into the next era. Though it has a different background from the archives of the “Maison” era, it also has value as an item of chronological reference—because it offers insight into how Margiela’s aesthetic was preserved within the brand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs part of the MOOD Special Collection, what we especially want to highlight is how this jacket allows two contrasting ideas to coexist in a single garment: the format of traditional tailored jackets and the details left deliberately unfinished. Linen slubs and knots reveal the true face of the material, raw-cut edges visualize the tailoring process, and genuine button plackets and horn-style buttons support the finishing quality of classic tailoring. Rather than forcing opposing elements to become uniform, the composition that lets each expression remain intact is an especially appealing point for anyone seeking to understand how Margiela approaches garment-making.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is an item we would particularly recommend for those who want to enjoy changes in materials and structure more than simply appreciating a finished luxury garment—and for those who want to choose clothing not only by the designer’s name, but also by the expressions the brand showed during its transitional period. The light linen makes it easy to incorporate into spring and summer outfits. And because it has the refined neatness of tailoring, it does not overstate itself in everyday wear, while changing the garment’s expression in harmony with the wearer’s style.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor styling, you can bring out the beauty of tailoring and the natural expression of the linen by pairing a shirt with slacks and keeping the silhouette polished. For a more Margiela-like enjoyment, layering straight-cut pieces such as a long coat or wide pants, and styling your footwear with leather shoes, allows the raw-cut details to avoid becoming overly assertive—making it possible to bring the balance of structure and incompletion into daily life. This piece also has unique value from the design team era and is ideal for anyone who wants to incorporate a quiet sense of unease into a classic jacket, regardless of gender.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe hope you will take this opportunity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Margiela","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49380379885806,"sku":null,"price":168000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/2751\/1534\/files\/6C57B9AD-699A-4E68-9FFF-B4D05CAE5F4F.jpg?v=1786638010"},{"product_id":"sp06fendi","title":"-SPECIAL- “FENDI” 80’s-90’s Coat of arms embossed whipstitched leather handbag","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom FENDI, based in Rome and cultivated by outstanding craftsmanship centered on fur and leather, we present an exceptional, highly collectible archival handbag that elevates traditional materials into a distinctive mode of expression—featuring richly textured leather and an eye-catching coat-of-arms motif.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe main body is crafted in black grain leather with a subtle, irregular texture. Its character reveals rich depth of shadow as it catches the light, and you can feel the particular richness developed through long, careful use. Unlike leather with a uniform surface finish, the fine grain adds a soft sheen and a discreet, weighty sense of luxury, so even though the bag is entirely black, it never feels monotonous. When held, it provides a definite sense of presence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe outer edge of the body and the handles are finished with whip stitching made using thick leather cords. The edge-securing stitching, meticulously woven all the way around the leather’s perimeter, not only clearly defines the bag’s silhouette but also adds warmth that can be attributed only to skilled handwork within its straight-lined body. Since the same type of craftsmanship is used on the handles as well, the carrying portion does not appear separate; the entire bag comes together as a single, artisanal structure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt the center of the flap, an embossed coat of arms—composed of motifs such as antlers, a crown, and botanical decorations—stands out in three-dimensional relief. The tone-on-tone embossing that emerges from the black leather reveals delicate shadows depending on the way light falls. From the front, it remains restrained yet conveys a clear sense of stature. Rather than showcasing a large brand logo, the fact that the coat of arms itself carries this bag’s narrative reflects the allure of the classic leather expression for which FENDI of that era was known.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe motifs of spread antlers, the crown placed at the top, and the surrounding botanical decorations function not merely as ornamentation, but as symbolic graphics that call to mind tradition and lineage. By intentionally using a molded embossing in the same color on deep black leather, the design achieves a quiet strength and refined elegance without tipping into showiness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInside, a square gold-colored metal plate is set onto the leather base fabric with rivets. It is engraved with the FF double F logo, FENDI, and MADE IN ITALY. While the exterior coat-of-arms motif suggests tradition, the interior FF logo succinctly communicates the brand’s identity. The presence of FENDI is thoughtfully incorporated not only into the visual design but also into the internal specifications.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe flap is secured and opened with gold-toned insertion-style hardware, and the inner lining features textures of suede and smooth leather. The hardware shows signs of plating wear, discoloration, and scuffing from years of use. Rather than detracting, these marks become a distinctly vintage expression that tells the story of the time this bag has been built upon. Unlike new hardware that maintains a uniform shine, the subdued gold tone harmonizes with the grain of the black leather, lending the entire piece a quiet, antique atmosphere.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs for the period, the key indicators are the combination of the square metal plate engraved on the inside with FF, FENDI, and MADE IN ITALY; the coat-of-arms embossing at the center of the flap; and the thick leather cord whip stitching that encircles the outer edge of the body and the handles. The corded structure that leverages handwork evokes the Selleria line from 1994 onward, but this piece does not feature any Selleria stamped engravings or a dedicated serial number plate. Taken together, these details position the bag as a high-end FENDI leather handbag produced from the 1980s through the early 1990s—before it was introduced under the Selleria name.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is also a strong archival piece that highlights traditional craftsmanship rather than iconic bags from later years, aligning with a time when Karl Lagerfeld—who oversaw FENDI creatively at the time—intersected with the leather handcraft cherished by the Fendi family. This is the bag’s major added value: it does not place modern functionality or logo expression at the forefront, but instead communicates worth through the texture of the materials, the meaning of the coat-of-arms motif, and the hand-finished edging.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith this presentation as part of the MOOD Special Collection, it is more than simply an old FENDI. It is a special piece that allows you to sense how the brand viewed leather and how it transformed traditional ornamentation into a handbag. While it offers the sophistication that resonates with today’s FENDI, it still carries a quiet individuality from before logos and series names were brought to the forefront. For those seeking a vintage bag with substance—an item with a backstory—rather than a mass-produced vintage handbag, this is especially recommended.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStyling is ideal when paired with well-tailored long coats, tailored jackets, or simple one-piece dresses, so you can enjoy the bag’s coat-of-arms motif and the leather’s texture as the main attraction. When added to crisp slack styles, its classic elegance stands out even more. Paired with long skirts or dresses, it creates an elegant look that lets you feel FENDI’s Roman tradition. Regardless of gender, when combined with simple, ornament-suppressed clothing, this piece naturally brings the beauty of handcraft and the distinctive presence of an archive item into everyday life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe invite you to seize this opportunity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FENDI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49380381720814,"sku":null,"price":128000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/2751\/1534\/files\/601AD6F8-46A3-41FE-84B9-1915E2028E63.jpg?v=1786637889"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/2751\/1534\/collections\/CDE0FC28-8E8D-442C-AC3B-837880A39C03.jpg?v=1786700878","url":"https:\/\/mood-by-link.com\/en\/collections\/italian-contemporary-cinema-style.oembed","provider":"MOOD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
