Chanel 2009 Vintage Paris-Moscou Moscow Gold Plated Crystal Lionhead Clutch Bag XSN

Color Gold
Qty:
Titled “Paris-Moscou,” Karl Lagerfeld’s 2009 Métiers d’Art pre-fall collection featured ruby red lacquered bags and hand-painted gold brocade patterned reissue flaps with ornaments reminiscent of Fabergé eggs, dangling from golden chains. Paired with these were strict black Soviet-style suits. This collection marked another of Lagerfeld’s thoughtful yet playful explorations of Coco Chanel’s historical connections with men, particularly Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich. The Russian influences—Ballets Russes, Constructivism, Byzantine jewelry, and Slavic folklore—that arose from their relationship were evident in the designs.

The collection was a showcase of the exquisite craftsmanship of French artisans, including embroiderers, milliners, goldsmiths, and shoemakers supported by the Chanel house. Despite the Russian theme, the show was not in Moscow, but staged in Paris to highlight the connection between Parisian haute couture and Russian influences.

This would also be the last year when Chanel used 24k gold plating on their hardware - making this collection all the more of a treasure for avid collectors.

This special clutch is one of the last special pieces plated in 24k gold, and with distressed side and top lambskin panels and a kisslock type opening.

An oversized Leo the Lionhead ornament encrusted in crystals at center. Interior lined in black silk satin with gold plaque label.

In Gold 24k gold plated metal and 24k gold plated hardware.
