Maison Margiela has launched a new Maison Margiela/folders chapter marking 20 years at its Ebisu Tokyo store at 2-8-13 Ebisu Minami. The project includes an online archive preview, a limited-edition zine distributed in Ebisu from November 5, and an in-store installation open through November 15.
Maison Margiela has launched a new chapter of its documentation project, Maison Margiela/folders, to mark 20 years at its Ebisu Tokyo store. Titled “Maison Margiela Tokyo: 20 Years at 2-8-13,” the project records the building’s history and the neighborhood around it, with a limited-edition zine and an in-store installation scheduled to open to the public on November 5.
The project focuses on the store at 2-8-13 Ebisu Minami, a former electrical products factory that the fashion house acquired when it relocated in 2006. The archive traces the building’s change of use and includes oral histories from staff, including team members who have worked at the location since its opening, according to the report by Hypebeast.
It also records Ebisu’s creative landscape and features interviews with local Tabi collectors. The initial archive preview is available through the Maison Margiela website. A physical, limited-edition zine is set to be distributed across Ebisu beginning November 5; the source does not specify its print run or how copies will be allocated.
The store will host “Line 2: Unravelled Memory, Rewoven Future,” an installation documenting a collaboration between Japanese artist Mio Suzuki and French tapestry fabricators Les Manufactures Nationales – Sèvres & Mobilier National. It is scheduled to remain on view in-store through November 15.
A Store History Told Through Ebisu
The anniversary project gives the store’s local history and working community a central place in the brand’s account of its presence in Japan. Rather than treating the location only as a retail space, the archive connects its architecture to the staff who have worked there and the collectors and creative activity around it.
For visitors, the announcement also pairs a digital record with time-limited public programming: the zine is planned for distribution around Ebisu, while the installation can be seen at the store for 11 days. The project offers a way to encounter the anniversary through the neighborhood and the building itself, though the announcement does not describe the installation’s format in detail or state whether advance booking is required.

From a Residential House to a Factory
Maison Margiela’s first standalone store outside Europe opened in September 2000, at 3-3-3 Ebisu Minami in a traditional residential home. The label later had to relocate. In 2006, it moved to the former electrical products factory at 2-8-13 Ebisu Minami, around five minutes away, according to Hypebeast.
The anniversary being marked is tied to the current address and its two decades of use, rather than the first Ebisu store’s opening in 2000. Maison Margiela/folders is the framework for this documentation chapter, which brings together the site’s history, staff recollections, local Tabi collectors and the Line 2 collaboration.
Zine Access and Event Details
The announcement does not give the zine’s quantity, price, distribution locations or eligibility rules, so it is not clear how readers can obtain a copy or whether supplies will be limited to particular points in Ebisu. It also does not provide opening hours, visitor capacity or booking information for the installation.
The project is described as documenting the store’s history and the Line 2 collaboration, but details of the archive’s contents beyond the reported interviews and subjects have not been specified. No information is provided about further events or whether the installation will be presented elsewhere after November 15.
Public Opening Begins November 5
The online archive preview is accessible now through the Maison Margiela website. The zine distribution and the in-store installation are scheduled to begin on November 5, with the installation planned to close on November 15. Visitors seeking access details will need to check the brand’s channels or contact the store, as the source report does not list hours or entry arrangements.
