The Japanese bag by MM6 Maison Margiela turns 10 years old

It's been 10 years since the Japanese Bag made its catwalk debut for MM6 Maison Margiela's FW09 collection. Designed after a trip to Japan, the it bag is inspired by the centuries-old art of origami. Its triangular silhouette and buttons on the corners allow it to fold back on itself to change shape, like a sheet of paper that becomes a swan. Soft materials, minimalist look and unconventional style turned it into a timeless cult in continuous evolution.

Every new season the bag is reworked in an original way, with new shapes, sizes and colors. The iconic triangle has a thousand variations: tote, bucket, pochette, purple, gold, silver, green, beige, iridescent, transparent, graffiti, camo, eco-leather, mesh, patchwork, fur,... 

Celebrating the tenth birthday of its most popular item, MM6 has decided to add a tiny, jewellery-sized, Micro Japanese to its oversized, medium and small models. It is already available in flagship stores and online. The price? Starting from 190 euros.
