Maison Margiela Miami Design District — Local services in Miami

Yesterday, we visited the Margiela store to see the new collection in collaboration with Louboutin. From the moment we walked in, the experience was disappointing. No greeting, no assistance – just a staff that seemed indifferent.

I asked for a pair of shoes, they brought them out without any explanation or engagement. When I inquired about half sizes, they simply said, “We don’t have them”. When I asked about the sole, the response was, “I think so.” No product knowledge, no service, nothing. For $1,000 shoes, the least one can expect is informed staff. No water was offered, despite the heat, and basic questions about payment were met with vague, incorrect answers.

I had such an amazing shopping experience with Kylah. From the moment I reached out to her about a pair of jeans, she responded immediately and scheduled me for an appointment the very next day. When I arrived, she had already prepared multiple color variations and stayed with me throughout the fitting process to help me choose the perfect wash and size.

Kylah was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and attentive—yet she made the experience feel like I was shopping with a friend. She never felt pushy, just supportive and genuine. After my purchase, she even followed up right away with a thoughtful thank-you text, which really showed her level of care.

If you’re shopping at Maison Margiela, I highly recommend asking for Kylah. She goes above and beyond to make the experience seamless...

The service at Maison Margiela is always stellar, and their employees at the boutiques are all so kind and helpful if you need something specific and even make recommendations when something you need isn’t available. I visited today and the employee who assisted me was great, wish I got their name :( but we bonded over Björk which...
