Though made of textiles rather than hide, the Maison Martin Margiela Artisanal jacket—fabricated as a unique, explicitly labor-intensive garment—has an exterior of bandaging fabric, a material associated with healing, wrapped as a protective skin around the body of a vintage wool jacket. The leather pouch, probably Cheyenne, was used for carrying medicinal herbs. It shows reverence by using every bit of the skin, evident in the piecing together of various bits of hide repurposed from another object. [See also 43.121]
