Chanel Camellia Strass Minaudière — Fall/Winter 2018 Collection
A dazzling tribute to one of the House’s most beloved symbols, the Chanel Camellia Strass Minaudière from the Fall/Winter 2018 collection is the very embodiment of couture craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Designed under the creative direction of Karl Lagerfeld, this exceptional evening clutch transforms the iconic camellia flower—Coco Chanel’s emblem of purity and femininity—into a radiant, three-dimensional jewel.
Expertly sculpted from high-gloss black resin, the minaudière is encrusted with hundreds of hand-set strass crystals in a shimmering palette of white, silver, and gray, creating a breathtaking ombré effect across each petal. The sculptural form of the camellia blooms with depth and light, capturing attention from every angle.
Accented with silver-tone hardware, the clutch features a discreet crystal-embellished CC logo at the back, a signature mark of its maison heritage. A push-lock closure reveals a compact interior lined in black lambskin leather, while a delicate silver-tone chain strap, interwoven with leather, can be tucked inside or worn over the shoulder for versatile elegance.
Unveiled on the runway during Chanel’s enchanted forest–themed FW18 show, this minaudière quickly became a collector’s treasure, produced in extremely limited numbers and never reissued. Its rarity, beauty, and symbolic resonance make it more than just an accessory—it is a wearable sculpture, a piece of Chanel history, and a celebration of haute couture artistry.
A true collector’s gem, the Camellia Strass Minaudière is a timeless ode to Chanel’s legacy, where nature’s grace meets the brilliance of Parisian luxury.
This piece is in excellent condition, showing only minor surface scratches and gentle signs of wear consistent with careful use. It comes complete with its original dustbag.
