The iconic 5AC in a new shrunken size and as part of the Recicla family

The Baby 5AC

First seen in the Maison Margiela Spring Summer 2016 ‘Défilé’ collection, the now classic 5AC has been shrunken to its smallest size, the Baby 5AC.

The 5AC is the signature handbag of Maison Margiela continuously interpreted by the house in a variety of styles. Its name is derived from ‘133t speak’, an early tech language that encodes the word ‘SAC’ – French for bag – into ‘5AC’.
The design language of the 5AC employs an apparently traditional, double-handled form that is twisted with discreet design details, the bag employs the technique of anonymity of the lining to reveal its internal structure: an extension of the lining, which transforms the bag’s shape to expose a larger pocket adorned with Maison Margiela’s four-point stitched label.

The Baby 5AC is available in a range of grained embossed leathers and in a goat and printed tweed, measures 13cm by 6cm and comes with a chain strap that allows the wearer to carry it in multiple individualistic ways.

The Baby 5AC Recicla

s part of Maison Margiela ongoing Recicla concept, the Baby 5AC will also be crafted with colorful reclaimed skins from luxury overstocks to offer limited edition pieces.

First introduced in Maison Margiela Autumn Winter 2020 ‘Défilé’ co-ed show, Recicla is now a well-established term in the vocabulary of John Galliano.
A portmanteau composed from terminology denoting reusability, from vintage finds that were restored and re-appropriated by the Studios to the usage of reclaimed skins from luxury overstocks the Recicla concept has been applied to ready-to-wear and accessories in diverse ways through all the seasons.
