Maison Margiela Introduces the MetaTabi Collection in the Metaverse

— March 8, 2024 — Tech
Maison Margiela and the leading digital fashion house, The Fabricant, are collaborating on an innovative project: the Maison Margiela MetaTabi, which will be available as an NFT.

In partnership with Brave Virtual Xperiences (BVX) and Aura Blockchain Consortium, this project is poised for release in late March. The super-limited white MetaTabi boot will have a bespoke physical Maison Margiela Tabi boot, intricately linked to a MetaTabi digital collectible. On the other hand, the limited edition black MetaTabi boot will include a custom-made Maison Margiela leather wallet.

Buyers will gain access to augmented reality (AR) tools, metaverse worlds, and gaming integrations, elevating the immersive experience to new heights. Furthermore, the MetaTabi digital collectible will serve as a mint pass, granting privileged access to future Maison Margiela collections outlined in its Web3 roadmap.
