Chanel Matryoshka Moscow Doll Minaudière – Paris-Moscow Métiers d’Art 2009

Ultra-Rare • Black Lucite • Brushed Gold Hardware • Collector’s Masterpiece

A true icon from Chanel’s legendary Métiers d’Art archives, this ultra-rare Black Lucite Matryoshka Doll Minaudière was introduced in the Pre-Fall 2009 Paris–Moscow collection, one of the most artistically celebrated runway moments in the house’s history. Revered by collectors worldwide, the design pays homage to Russian imperial artistry while embodying Karl Lagerfeld’s unparalleled storytelling through fashion.

Meticulously sculpted in high-gloss black lucite, the silhouette mirrors the traditional Russian nesting doll—elevated with brushed gold hardware that adds warmth, depth, and modern opulence. The minaudière’s smooth, sculptural form is both whimsical and fiercely luxurious, making it one of Chanel’s most coveted objets d’art.

The interior is crafted from polished lucite, an innovative detail that reflects the maison’s mastery in workmanship and their ability to merge couture heritage with contemporary materials.

A limited-edition runway creation, the Matryoshka Doll bag is rarely seen on the market and remains one of the most difficult Chanel minaudières to acquire—sought after by top collectors, museums, and connoisseurs of Métiers d’Art craftsmanship.

This exceptional example is in pristine, like-new condition and comes complete with its box and dustbag, making it not only an accessory, but a valuable investment piece destined to appreciate in rarity and cultural significance.

A masterpiece of Chanel history—bold, enchanting, and undeniably iconic.
