In addition to precious leather outerwear in dark brown deerskin, the dark brown leather trolley whose memory foam structure protects it from impact, a leather backpack, premium leather footwear and premium driving and travel accessories, the collection includes luxury denim grey jeans, polo shirts in pure cotton jersey with a leather Maserati logo, a two-button jacket in pure cotton with leather details, and a silk herringbone scarf in brown and beige with its embroidered Maserati logo. The internationality of the Ermenegildo Zegna and Maserati brands and their shared passion for the same corporate values have come together once more to meet the increasing demand for quality, luxury and exclusivity. Over the course of their collaboration, the companies developed a limited edition collection of 100 flagship Maserati Quattroporte in 2013 made with an exclusive interior fabric from Lanificio Zegna, followed by the creation of a special edition trim package for Maserati Ghibli and Quattroporte, which now is also available as an optional for the new Levante SUV.

Maison Margiela Replica Bag

It was in 1994, six years after the creation of Maison Margiela, that the rst replica pieces were born. Around thirty designs are « replicated » each season across both men’s and women’s collections, some as a one shot creation, others becoming iconic designs which are reinvented season after season like the GAT trainer. Whether a shirt, a dress, a trench-coat or a bag, these are pieces whose original construction and philosophy are in line with the Maison Margiela spirit. They could have emerged fullyformed from the studio, but their history provides that extra element of soul. The team simply searches for a fabric or nishing touch that will express the true nature of each item. Inside, a special label marks its status as a Replica piece, providing its description, origin and date of creation – like a descriptive plate for an exhibition. Another tale of true spirit. When the Maison Margiela team discovered this toiletry case in a vintage collection in Florence, its timeless lines and geometric proportions immediately caught their eye. Combining a retro feel with a modern appearance, a feminine audience yet a masculine style, everything about the bag pointed to a future Replica. Even the mix of fabrics – a contrast between the rich natural leather and the PVC interior – spoke the Margiela language. All these original features were kept, with only a shoulder strap being added for functional purposes. This new must-have item also inspired a range of smaller bags and leather goods, replicas of the rst Replica bag.

  
Beyond the simple notion of a copy, Replica suggests a sense of timelessness that is essential to the Maison Margiela philosophy. Alongside the codes created by the House’s collective imagination - the invisible label, the Tabi shoe - the Replica concept implies a gesture, the act of selection transformed into an art. Replica is about adding a fashion dimension to a regular object from daily life. Collected around the world, these pieces which have caught the eye of the creative team will be able to fully express their potential as they enter the Margiela wardrobe.
