Crafted from vegetable tanned calf leather with sun fadded effect, the babouche shoes feature the Tabi split-toe, inspired by the traditional 15th century Japanese sock bearing the same name – launched for the Maison's debut collection in 1989. It captures the avant-garde and insubordinate spirit of the Maison and exists as a heritage classic, continually explored through each collection. Maison Margiela's signature white stitch appears at the back.
