Amidst the grandeur of the Grand Palais in Paris, Chanel’s spring-summer 2025 runway show presented a captivating theme of freedom, lightness and liberation. At the heart of the luminous venue, Chanel’s Creation Studio famously wowed guests with a monumental birdcage. Amongst models striding down the runway, one in Look 42 also showed off the Birdcage Minaudiere.

The #CHANELSpringSummer birdcage derived inspiration from a personal gift from one of Mademoiselle Gabrielle’s seamstresses. This season, the maison pays homage to this precious décor-object in more ways than one. While the sheer scale of the prop soaring towards the glass ceiling stole the show, Chanel’s pièce de résistance for the season is no less dreamy.

Measuring 15 cm by 12 cm, the minaudiere is crafted from metal and embellished with shimmering strass. A pair of crystal-embellished birds perch upon it, while another smaller bird rests on a chain-like swing just below the upper flap. Its shape further mimics the lines of the Grand Palais, befitting collectors looking to own a piece of Chanel history.

You can carry the Birdcage Minaudiere by grasping the leather-interlaced chain, just as the model did on the runway. Alternatively, sling the shimmery conversation starter over the shoulder for a hands-free style. Available in black, gold and silver, it will only be available in limited quantities, of course.
