Chanel Paris–Moscow Wool-Blend Embroidered Mini Dress – Size 38 – Brand New With Tags (Pristine Condition)
A rare masterpiece from the storied 2009 Métiers d’Art “Paris–Moscow” Collection, this exceptional Chanel dress—Look #21 from the runway, designed by Karl Lagerfeld—is a true collector’s treasure. Brand new with tags and preserved in pristine condition, it showcases the extraordinary craftsmanship, historical storytelling, and rich cultural references that define one of Chanel’s most celebrated Métiers d’Art collections.
Expertly crafted in France, the dress features a sheer silk-blend upper bodice paired with a richly detailed wool-blend embroidered body. The architectural motifs depict the iconic, flame-like onion domes of Saint Basil’s Cathedral, rendered in warm tones of gold, black, red, and caramel—an unmistakable nod to Russian folklore and imperial aesthetics.
Adding dimension and texture, the dress is trimmed with luxurious shearling along the neckline, shoulders, and cuffs—an unexpected and whimsical touch characteristic of Lagerfeld’s genius. At the back neck, a miniature Matryoshka doll button serves as a functional closure and an exquisite collectible detail unique to the Paris–Moscow line.
With its long sleeves, crew neckline, mini length, and incredibly intricate knitwork, this dress is a striking choice for fall and winter, and an essential piece for any serious Chanel collector or admirer of Lagerfeld’s storytelling collections.
