Pre-Fall 2010
Condition: 2
4" Width x 7.5" Height x 4" Depth

The Chanel Pre-Fall 2010 Paris-Shanghai Collection included the rare Matryoshka Minaudière, a twist on a traditional Russian nesting doll and featured in Look 42 on the runway. This bag is done in Black Lucite with Brushed Gold Hardware, featuring strass crystal, silk cord, and enamel embellishments, a woven chain top handle, and a twist clasp closure. The interior is done in Black Lucite.

The Lucite exterior shows minor scuffing and light surface scratching throughout. Several chains are missing from the right side of the dolls' bangs; however, this does not affect the overall aesthetic. The tassel cord on the clasp exhibits light fraying at the ends and several of the knots are slightly loose. This bag includes a Chanel box, dust bag, and protective felt.
