In a bold departure from traditional fashion capitals, Chanel’s Métiers d’Art 2023/24 collection found its stage in Manchester, England. Its cobbled streets, once alive with anthems of The Smiths and Joy Division, pulsed with a renewed energy that gave inspiration to the French fashion house. In particular, the vibrant tapestry provided the perfect backdrop to showcase the exquisite Métiers d’Art minaudières.

In the beautiful display of savoir-faire from Chanel’s 11 esteemed Maisons d’Art, two pieces stood out. Firstly, the Tea Box Minaudière, a whimsical ode to the quintessential British tradition of afternoon tea. The resin and enamel creation boasts a delicate pearl trim and gold-tone metal accents. Within, a concealed upper reveals a mirror for touch-ups, while the main compartment holds your essentials in style.

Then comes the Guitar Minaudière, clearly a rock ‘n’ roll dream come true. This isn’t your average evening bag. It’s a miniature resin masterpiece donning a dazzling array of diamantés, pearls and gleaming gold-tone hardware. Measuring 28 cm at its widest, the show-stopping statement piece will turn heads while showcasing your love for music and fashion in equal measure.

Whether you’re drawn to the charming tea box or the swagger of the guitar, this Métiers d’Art collection offers a unique minaudière for every occasion that are highly collectible as well.
