The Chanel Shell minaudieres debuted at Chanel’s Spring 2012 fashion show in Paris. Inspired by the ocean, these clutches are designed to resemble real shells, crafted from pearlized ivory resin and adorned with pearls. Of course, an exclusive Chanel purse comes with a high price tag — the plain pearlescent resin version retails for $33,000, while the same style studded with freshwater pearls commands an astonishing $48,000. What do you think of this ultra-luxurious addition to Chanel’s collection? Would you invest $48,000 in a pearl-encrusted bag?
