Artisanal 00-02 Dark Livid Painted Denim
Maison Martin Margiela Artisanal "010" 00-02 Dark Livid Painted Denim. Object painted garments are early Margiela designs which later were engrained as key motifs to Margiela's foundations. Dyed pants, shirts, and jackets today are a repetition in part of tradition to Margiela's original designs such as the artisanal pants here. Although current day painted garments are quickly pushed through a production line, artisanal pieces are hand painted on carefully curated vintage levis denim by the Margiela team thus making them very limited in quantity. Mens painted artisanal pieces throughout the early 2000's were applied with a myriad of colours and paint compositions; Some the paint chipped away as the item was worn, others were more solid but didn't reflect light, a few were merely just clear coats with little colour added. Dark livid, or a desaturated blue grey, painted denim. Features a thick sheen added which makes the pants almost look like leather. Understated colour, however applied thick, which blocks the true colour of the jeans underneath. Paint is robust and will take longer to degrade. 8/10 condition, some distressing may be part of the original jeans. Repaired minor crotch blow out. Size M fits a roomy 31. Straight leg. Unhemmed.$600 -

$120
SS13 “Lincoln Trojans” Reverse Embroidered Tee
Maison Martin Margiela "Lincoln Trojans" Reverse Embroidered Tee. A throwback to the original reverse embroidered trojans longsleeve from 2005 with some mild detail adjustments. Chest applique is simply an embroidery applied in reverse which oddly makes it more interesting than applying the embroidery "correctly". Such details are quintessential Margiela designs which deconstruct the ideas in how clothes are produced and worn. 9/10 condition. Size 48.$120 -

Maison Martin Margiela SS00 Line 010 "Artisanal" F2 French Military Vest in the olive colourway. Handmade, as with many artisanal pieces, over a course of 3-4 days from vintage garments, this particular vest is created from a handful of surplus french military jackets.

Zip closures with tassels. Very limited in numbers, each artisanal piece receives a hands-on treatment from the Margiela team resulting in every artisanal garment having mild variations. 8/10 condition.

08 “Yen Bills” Elastic Band Bifold Key Wallet

08 “Yen Bills” Elastic Band Bifold Key Wallet
Maison Martin Margiela 2008 "Yen Bills" Elastic Band Bifold Key Wallet. Released alongside with the now popular Margiela "Dollar Bills" Bifold Wallet is this lesser known Margiela "Yen Bills" Keychain Wallet. Featured in the Margiela by Margiela Rizzoli book, the man himself dedicated an entire page for both wallets. Coveted by collectors, this piece and its counterpart contain small thoroughly thought out details. A handful of laminated 10,000 yen bills are stacked casually on top of each other to resemble a crude stack of bills. On the bill print itself, alongside where the serial number sought to be, is the consecutive numbers design that indicate the collection the wallet belongs to with "11" being circled. Meiji era philosopher/writer Yukichi Fukuzawa's face is completely blanked out along with his name. The denomination is edited to "00000" from "10000". The holographic sticker is also edited to "00000" from "10000". These small details precisely convey Margiela's design agenda; More specifically the deconstruction, absence of identity, norm romanticization and the continued study of a subject's unadulterated elements by dusting away excess down to its raw core. Inside the wallet consists a Margiela's stamp and a handful of keychain holders. Held together with elastic band. 7.5/10 condition.$910
