Midsummer Metallics
Metallics aren’t just for the cooler months. The metallic trend continues to be huge for this summer season, and how could we resist these shiny shades? While classic gold and chic silver remain timeless, colored metallics add an extra touch of sparkle wherever you go, day or night. Whatever your preference, these bags and accessories certainly pack a lustrous punch for any season.
And when it comes to these shiny bags while the classic flap styles are always appropriate – and the auction includes many options – why not expand your range? And add a Chanel brooch.
Of course, Chanel Minaudière bags are always in style. In fact, they are the epitome of Chanel luxury, usually among the most expensive of a collection’s offerings. Here’s your chance to take it up a notch with the rainbow metallic one. The 2017 On The Moon “CC” Minaudière Bag with Rainbow Metal Hardware could be the ultimate statement bag in your bag rotation.

Green With Envy
You’ll be the envy of your friends when you add one of these green items to your wardrobe. Shades of green not only work well together but the hints of nature are so versatile that they belong in virtually any handbag collection. With shades trending from seafoam to dark emerald, there’s something for everyone. And, although perhaps known more for black, white, beige, and pink, Chanel is no stranger to this hue.
And why not match your jewelry to your bag? Get ready to adorn yourself in vintage green and gold jewelry from Chanel, spanning the iconic decades from the 1950s to the 1980s. The Chanel Green Gripoix Leaves & Pearl Necklace is an absolute showstopper, while the matching Crystal Brooch could easily adorn any outfit. With Coco Chanel’s prized pearls and exquisite emerald tones, these pieces will add a touch of glamour to any occasion and ensemble.
The gorgeous greens don’t stop there – lovers of Chanel minis also are in luck. This beautiful Chanel Bi-color Mini Top Handle Flap Bag is one to turn heads. We particularly love the contrasting blue interior, which makes this seafoam green bag all the more special.
Pearls Of Perfection
Chanel and pearls – it doesn’t get more classic than that. A firm favorite of Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel herself, pearls remain practically synonymous with the French fashion house. It’s even better when you can combine the jewelry with and on your handbags, particularly when it is a collector’s piece. Chic and timeless – it’s the epitome of Chanel.
We simply can’t take our eyes off the Chanel Black Quilted Leather Westminster Pearl Chain Flap Bag. This pearl-adorned twist on the classic Chanel Flap bag is truly irresistible and will elevate any look. Coco would certainly approve!
In the world of Chanel jewelry, is there anything more iconic than a set of pearls? This Chanel Faux Pearl and Black Enamel CC Long Necklace has timeless appeal. We adore the contrast between the black enamel beads and creamy white faux pearls – très chic!
Going For Gold
Make a statement with Chanel’s gold tone jewelry and bag hardware. It’s bold and classically Chanel.
In this auction, you’ll find an array of jewelry pieces and types. From wide cuff bracelets, to chain link and beaded styles, earrings, brooches and more, the selection is exceptional. With faux diamonds or pearls, it’s sure to delight.
As for your handbag hardware, most Chanel aficionados will tell you that gold belongs in every collection. Mix it with your silver accessories or stick strictly to gold brilliance. And where better place to start, than Chanel?
In particular, Leos will love these golden delights! Clearly a collector’s piece, this Chanel Black Enamel Lion Brooch that featured in Virginie Viard’s Spring 2022 Collection. This statement brooch features a lion dressed in all Chanel (of course). Why a lion, you may be wondering? To Coco, the animal represented fierceness, an attitude, a lifestyle. To this day, the lion remains an important and oft-repeated motif in the world of Chanel.
The regal lion doesn’t stop there. This beautiful Chanel Black Leather Mini Square Chocolate Bar Lion Head Flap Bag is offered in the auction. A statement twist on Chanel’s classic mini flap bags, this ‘chocolate bar’ quilted variation is a highly coveted quilting design from the mid-2000s. This mini marvel is adorned with a golden lion head closure.
Monochrome Marvels
Are bright colors, not your thing? No worries. You’ll find a variety of chic and sophisticated monochrome handbags available at the upcoming auction. Transitional and timeless, a black, white, or black and white handbag can take you through every season, and every occasion.
No Chanel collection is really complete without a Classic black flap. And that’s true in this auction as well. Check out the timeless Chanel Black Caviar Quilted Leather Jumbo Double Flap Bag. Or perhaps, you prefer a little less traditional bag. Then try the graphic monochrome Chanel White Chocolate Bar Quilted Leather Mademoiselle Flap Bag . We particularly love the Chanel White and Black Quilted Lambskin Leather Small Boy Bag for its bold and eye-catching contrasting design.
Vacation Ready
Taking a break, whether on staycation or vacation? Chanel’s bags work overtime for business, play, and vacation. For beach frolicking (or lazing), exploring the city, or simply enjoying the warm evenings at home, there’s a Chanel accessory that will complement your summer style.
Perhaps you prefer to experiment with color through your jewelry rather than handbags? We found plenty of spectacular options. From summer turquoise stones to bold pink beads – you will be sure to find your bold hue at Heritage Auctions.
If you’re heading to beach locales this summer, the Chanel Navy Blue Denim Medium Deauville Tote is the perfect companion for both travel and visiting the coast. Inspired by Coco Chanel’s love for sunny days in the sleepy seaside resort of Deauville, the tote is reminiscent of whimsical French summers. But don’t limit its use by the water. The denim Deauville works everywhere – just like your own denim jeans!
If summer in the city is more your vibe, the timeless and discontinued Chanel Burgundy Caviar Quilted Leather Grand Shopping Tote is a fabulous option. The GST, as it is known among longtime Chanel lovers, was a favorite for years, with many still mourning its disappearance from the bag roster.
Fancy adding a pop of color to your summer closet? Go bright and bold with this Chanel Pink Quilted Leather Timeless Clutch.
Don’t just tell us what you love and want! Go now and register for this auction . . . And don’t forget to bid. The auction ends July 20 at 11 am EST.
