Marion Vintage turns 10, pop-up in Shibuya
MALION VINTAGE, a brand that reworks deadstock fabrics and vintage items, marks 10 years since its launch in 2016. A pop-up to celebrate runs for two days, Friday 9 and Saturday 10 October, at “TRUNK(HOTEL) CAT STREET” in Jingumae, Tokyo. Hours are 14:00–20:00 on the 9th and 12:00–18:00 on the 10th.
The brand is run by Eriko Ishida and Aki Shimizu. Its popular pieces are lace items such as crochet and denim. For this new collection, they picked white lace from the brand's archive and combined vintage lace with wool using needle-punch processing. The pop-up offers pre-orders for the new pieces, along with archive items and goods, priced from ¥17,000 to ¥220,000.
The concept is “new breath for something someone once cherished.” The article notes that many people use the paid repair service, and I relate to the idea of fixing old things and wearing them for a long time. The flagship store “ORT” opened last year, and the brand plans to expand its unisex line and build an overseas customer base, mainly in Asia.
What I find interesting is the way it approaches vintage: not by selling secondhand clothes as they are, but by using old materials to make new clothes.
