The Chanel Classic Flap is one of the most widely recognized bags in the handbag world—it has become synonymous with the House.
Still, Chanel’s seasonal bags have been one of the most anticipated elements of its shows for over two decades, and this is all thanks to the late Karl Lagerfeld’s time at Chanel’s helm. Lagerfeld loved a theme, and each collection was defined by a distinct idea.
Those themes often inspired the design of Chanel’s novelty pieces, which were always among the most coveted in any given season. While Lagerfeld’s death in 2019 signaled a new era for Chanel, the tradition of the novelty bags lives on.
In recent years, these must-haves included the much-hyped heart bags from 2022, which are back again this season, last year’s tea box minaudiere, the Chanel Kelly, and more. This year, Chanel aficionados are already going insane over the return of the iconic Chanel Heart Bag. Still, where newness is concerned, one little lady will entice collectors everywhere.
Chanel’s Playful Side Returns with the Makeup Palette Minaudiere and Heart Bag Revival
You guessed it, I’m talking about the Chanel Makeup Palette Minaudiere. While Matthieu Blazy has yet to make his debut, with Pre-Collection designed by Chanel’s Fashion Creation Studio, both the return of the Heart bag and the Makeup Palette Minaudiere signal a return to Chanel’s playful side—the Chanel we knew and loved under Lagerfeld’s reign.
A nod to Chanel’s iconic makeup palettes, the plexiglass mini bag is part fashion and part art, complete with small details that replicate a palette’s pigments and applicator. Like the many collectible novelty clutches that have come before, this one is sure to be highly coveted on the resale market, but will it garner more than its $20,600 retail price?
Interesting bag but at $20,600.00 I think I will pass!
Both Kaitlin and I had to double-check the price, because it is so high!
The makeup artist Mikayla Nogueira Hawken just unboxed this bag… gorgeous!
They sold at least one to Makayla, but to be fair the bag is almost like it’s made for her.
I don’t think they meant made for her specifically, I think they meant “made for her” as in fits her personality like a glove. Lol
$20k?!? Ok it’s cute but why so expensive?!
Because it’s meant for the 1% who has so much wealth the price is irrelevant.
Sooooo expensive but sooooo cute. I love it.
