‘Japanese Medium’ handbag

Black ‘Japanese Medium’ handbag from MM6 Maison Margiela. Made of faux leather, this model features the brand’s signature white stitches at the back, logo-embossed half-round handle, silver-tone metal hardware ad one internal compartment with one snap-fastened pocket. First introduced as part of the Autumn-Winter 2009 collection, the Japanese bag has since become MM6’s most emblematic accessory. Its distinctive triangular silhouette is inspired by the Japanese art of paper folding, origami. The buttons at its edges allow for the bag to change form through folding, evoking the Maison’s deconstructionist design codes.
