A collector’s accessory in an unmistakable Maison Margiela signature.

Vivid teal and crafted from butter-soft nappa leather, these opera-length gloves bring a bold, sculptural accent to the wardrobe. Extending above the elbow, their elegant silhouette evokes vintage evening glamour, reimagined through Maison Margiela’s avant-garde design language.

The smooth leather and striking colour make a confident statement, while the iconic four white stitches on the back provide the house’s instantly recognisable signature — discreet, unconventional, and free from traditional logo embellishment.

Part of Line 1, Maison Margiela’s core womenswear collection, this pair dates to June 2022. A distinctive accessory for collectors and fashion enthusiasts who appreciate the intersection of craftsmanship and conceptual design.

The Designer

Founded by Martin Margiela, the house challenged conventional ideas of luxury through deconstruction, anonymity, and unconventional approaches to clothing and identity. Its signature four white stitches became an understated emblem of this philosophy, offering recognition without a prominent logo.

Under the creative direction of John Galliano during this period, Maison Margiela continued to explore the tension between heritage, transformation, and avant-garde expression. Line 1 represents the house’s principal womenswear collection.
