Maison Margiela in Australia: Where to Buy, Sizes and Delivery
Australian shoppers buy Maison Margiela for the same reasons as everyone else, but with one difference: the seasons are reversed. When Paris shows autumn winter, Sydney and Melbourne are heading into summer. This guide covers sizes, what to buy for an Australian year and how delivery works. Coveti ships the women's ready-to-wear in the Maison Margiela collection to Australia, and one of our partner hubs is in Melbourne.
Quick answer
- Sizes: Australian women's sizes follow UK sizes, so IT 42 is an AU 10.
- Knitwear: letter sizes, XS to XXL.
- Where to buy: Margiela is carried by multi-brand stores in Sydney and Melbourne, and Coveti ships it Australia-wide.
- Delivery: DHL Express and FedEx International Priority, with GST paid on import.
