The Metiers d’Arts collection is Karl Lagerfeld's runway show to celebrate the expert ateliers that partner with Chanel. The Paris-Salzburg collection was staged in the 18th-century Schloss Leopoldskron Castle and inspired by Austrian royalty. La Maison Lesage, considered by many to be the best embroidery atelier in the world, has been collaborating with Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel since 1983, and contributing to the Metiers d’Arts runway collections since they began in 2002. Its mastery of embroidery can be seen in this exquisite, limited edition Mademoiselle Flap Bag.
