Description
Model History:
Presented at the 2014/15 Cruise Fashion Show in Dubai, this minaudière is one of a series of eccentric accessories imagined by Karl Lagerfeld, paying homage to the cultural and aesthetic codes of the Middle East. The collection, rich in modernized oriental references, blends tradition and humor, as in the case of this pouch inspired by a fuel can. Produced in limited quantities, this creation illustrates Chanel’s ability to transform utilitarian objects into ultra-desirable fashion pieces.
Exterior details:
The minaudière is made entirely of transparent Plexiglas, molded in a compact, angular format reminiscent of a small jerry can. The CC logo is molded directly into the material on the front, creating a three-dimensional effect. Dimensions: approx. 13 x 10 x 4 cm. The gold-plated chain, approx. 110 cm long, is made up of flat round links, true to Chanel classics. The clasp, in gilded metal, takes the form of a screw cap, reinforcing the playful character of the piece.
Interior details:
The transparent interior has no lining or compartments, emphasizing the desire for visual purity. The bottom-hinged opening is operated by a discreet metal mechanism that ensures a secure hold. This minimalist design assumes the decorative and statement function of the object more than just for everyday use.
Condition:
This piece is in excellent condition, with no scratches or chips. The gilded metal elements have an even sheen, with no oxidation. The hinge and clasp work perfectly. The item comes with its original protective cover and Chanel authenticity card.
Care instructions:
Avoid prolonged exposure to heat or direct light to preserve the transparency of the Plexiglas. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding solvents or abrasive products. Store in its cover to avoid micro-scratches.
