- Care
- Shearling: Shearling is not interchangeable with smooth or grained leather for treatment: a product intended for one may be unsuitable for another. Protect from humidity, prolonged light and extreme heat, and seek an appropriate assessment before treatment.
The Métiers d'art collections exist to showcase Chanel's artisan ateliers, and the figurine work here is the point, sculpted metal fur detailing set against genuine shearling in a piece produced for a single season and never repeated.
Dark khaki lambskin carries the classic diamond quilting while shearling lambskin softens the body, and gold-tone hardware runs through the woven chain strap and CC turn-lock. The format is the mini flap.
Collector's Insight:
Chanel's figurine and novelty pieces from named collections have become their own collecting category, with single-season production and instant recognition driving demand the moment a collection sells through. The Squirrel Bag arrived with a viral moment already attached.
Resale Insight:
Métiers d'art novelty minis are made for one season and do not restock, so condition and completeness decide how an example is valued.
