What We Buy
Tabi, Replicas, Bags and Ready-to-Wear
Martin Margiela started the house in Paris in 1988. Footwear and bags carry most of the resale today; knits, coats and archive ready-to-wear sell too.
Tabi Boots & Shoes
The split-toe Tabi in boots, ankle boots, loafers and Mary Janes. We look at the leather, the heel, the sole and the toe split. Pairs with light wear and the dust bags bring the most.
Replica Sneakers
The Replica line remakes old military and sport sneakers, with the German Army Trainer as the best known. Clean suede and leather, a gum sole without heavy wear and the box lead the offer.
5AC, Glam Slam & Other Bags
The 5AC in its sizes, the quilted Glam Slam and other leather bags. Corners, handles, the hardware and the inside all count. The dust bag and strap help.
Knits, Coats & MM6
Mainline knits, coats, tailoring and denim, archive pieces, and the MM6 Maison Margiela line. Mainline and archive bring more than MM6, and condition carries the rest.

What Moves a Margiela Offer
Margiela spans footwear, bags and decades of ready-to-wear. Here is what decides it.
- The piece
- Tabis, Replica sneakers and the 5AC and Glam Slam bags move fastest. Ready-to-wear depends more on the season and the piece.
- Footwear wear
- On Tabis we look at the toe split, the heel tips and the soles. On Replicas we look at the suede, creasing and the gum sole.
- Bag condition
- Corner wear, darkened handles, scratched hardware and marks inside all lower a bag's offer.
- The line
- Mainline pieces bring more than MM6. Archive pieces from the early years are their own market.
- Size
- Tabis and Replicas in the middle of the size range sell fastest. Very small and very large sizes take longer.
- Extras
- Dust bags, boxes, straps, spare heel tips and receipts all add to the offer.

How We Check Margiela
Tabis, Replicas and the 5AC are all copied. We check the whole piece in front of you, not just the label.
- The numbered label: the font, the circled number and how it's stitched in
- The four white stitches on the back, and how they're sewn
- Tabi construction: the toe split, the heel and the sole markings
- Replica details: materials, the insole print and the box label
- Bags: leather, stitching, hardware and the inside labels
