Chanel’s Ancient Egypt-Inspired Métiers d’Art 2019 Bags Are Now in Boutiques

We've got pics + prices of our 15 favorites

Late last year, Chanel presented it’s 2019 Métiers d’Art collection at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Métiers d’Art collection takes the place of pre-fall for the brand, and they are arguably one of the best displays of the details and craftsmanship that go into Chanel’s bags and accessories. These collections often feature many special details, exotic leathers and elevated iterations of popular designs. This collection was inspired by ancient Egypt, and the late Karl Lagerfeld designed this collection using a mostly neutral palette with elaborate detailing. Check out our favorite bags from the collection below, all of which are in boutiques now.

Bryan Lepe

Love the camera case and the Gabrielle. Also love the blue and gold vertical boy that was shown on the runway.

Reneé

Do you have a link? Trying to remember it

Thank goodness they have one bag that is affordable which is the Chanel Waist Bag (5,00). 🙂

I am obviously in the minority judging the previous comments, but I think this is the worst Chanel collection for a very, very long time. I find it quite tacky and for the first time during my and Chanel’s love story I can’t find a single piece that I would want to own.

Are these Karl’s designs of the new CD’s?

Greg Richards

These are Karl’s designs he walked the runway for the last time at this show.

I don’t understand all of the “love”, either. I don’t think it’s the “worst Chanel collection”, but it is pretty bad. All of the gold makes it look tacky and I agree that “I can’t find a single piece that I want to own”, either.

This is a beautiful collection. I purchased 2 card cases a week ago and they are gorgeous!! Well done Chanel!

BEST collection Chanel has had in a very long time. To those not liking it (which of course you might not) there are a ton of designs not featured here that are amazing. The ones here I don’t actually like all that much.

For those lusting after this collection help me understand what is aesthetically appealing about these bags? I’m not being judgmental, but serious and inquisitive. I love Chanel and own several, but this has me stumped. (I’m not interested in a debate or to provoke someone’s anger, I’m just naturally curious). 🙂

Have you actually researched the collection? The metallic coco handles are beyond amazing in gold, bronze, peacock blue, green and pewter. The graffiti reissues with the holographic color change and brushed gold hardware are edgy and to die for (I love the pink and black). The mini reissues come in so many colors, and are priced incredibly well (beige, red, black, green), several art pieces in stunning colors with ornamental detail (blues, purples). Probably 12 different colors of coco handles, as popular as they are, are super exciting for those who’ve been waiting for such a selection. The glitter calf WOC’s and belt bags in iridescent green and blue are stunning. Just a start, much more. Hope that helps. Not a big fan of those above (other than the striped pyramid), but this isn’t representative at all of the collection IMO.

Marianne

I did look at the collection on the Chanel website, but maybe I should go into my local boutique! Thx!

TKS

Really you should. I was getting pretty stale on Chanel the last couple of seasons (which I never thought possible – but with the declining quality and lack of innovative or fun designs) and this collection roped me back in. Whether that is bad or good, who knows 😉

Jennifer

This was a good question and a great response. I’m definitely going to check out the website and try to see them in person when I travel next month.

I have already got the chance to see this new collection. Stunning love it. I was lucky to get a new Deauville tote in Grey with SHW totally happy. Xxx

I don’t know..that Pyramid bag looks cheap AF..and gold leather is always a risk, it usually looks tacky.

I do love the little camera case, though! And the small flap.

The 2.55 looks like a Canal St. special..the diamonds are crooked along the gold section and the bag doesn’t sit properly..you can see the bottom. I wouldn’t even want this as a gift!
The prices are too high…no way I’d pay that much for this quality. Even Chanel cuts corners these days and it shows.

butterbox

Oh, but Chanel does gold leather so well. I love their gold leather bags and for some reason, the gold leather wears so well.

valerie

That’s good to know..I did like the little metallic flap.

Divnanata

I am just dazzled! These bags are for maximalists and I am one! I am going to get that pyramid bag one day. Positive thinking… And the Gabrielle with the gold letters on the strap.

psny15

this collection is a little too gaudy for me!!!!

Navjot Sangha

This collection is so breathtakingly beautiful!! ??

Lina Lee

Hi! I agree with you. Which one you really love from all the bags?

Navjot Sangha

Hi, it’s been a while!?? How have you been Lina? I really liked the Chanel pyramid bag. What about you?

Lina Lee

Yeah, you are right. Thank you. I’m okay. ?? How about you? It’s a beautiful bag. Are you gonna add it to your bag collection? The 2.55 with the gold crocodile embossed in the middle bag.

Navjot Sangha

I need more time to think about it, but this might just be the one. Ohhh that was my second favorite! ?I’m doing good, but I’ve been super busy lately.

Lina Lee

Of course. I understand that. It’s a unique bag. I hope you add it. I’m sorry I didn’t say “not the one with the pyramid in the middle”. The one I have mentioned, they didn’t add a picture of it here. It’s on the Chanel website. So, tell me, my dear is it the same bag as my favorite & yours as a second favorite? ? I hope so. ? ?

Navjot Sangha

Yes, right after I saw the pictures, I immediately went onto Chanel’s website and looked at clothes, accessories, and shoes for this collection.Yes, the bag is the same!? Honestly the pyramid bag won because of its shape, and I do hope once I have had time to sit down and think about it, that I can add it to my collection. ????

Lina Lee

Wonderful! Okay we are on the same page. 😀 We love the same bag. It is unique bag. I hope you do. Good luck my friend. ???

Navjot Sangha

Thank you! ??Good luck to you as well! ???

Lina Lee

You’re welcome and thank you so much. ???

BooBoo

I love the gold croc medium classic flap in the headline photo!

butterbox
