Maison Margiela introduces the ‘Recicla’ line, an upcycled range of leather goods taken from the brand’s previous projects. The ‘Recicla’ label signifies "its limited edition, provenance and period – an illustration of the restorative power of heritage attributes and articles imbued with the soul of history, resonating the grammar of today."
The collection highlights the leftover pieces sourced from the ‘5AC’ bag, a compact line that comes in two ‘Bucket’ and ‘Classique’ formats. A number of brand-new items, including a selection of modest leather goods like the wallet, have been introduced by Margiela.
Discover phone holders, key chain wallets, and recycled versions of the 5AC classic bag in this release. The Recicla ‘Replica Sneakers’ also arrive in a variety of hues for the collection.
