Coco Chanel was really intrigued by the Russian spirit in 1920’s and Karl Lagerfeld used this fact as inspiration for the Pre-Fall 2009 Chanel Collection!
The accessories for this years fall collections are exquisite! With tons of bold necklaces, huge handmade head pieces, unique shoes and beautiful rings.
The jewelry line features Russian icons such as Matriochka dolls, red stars and items inspired by Imperial Russia.
The collection also features a small enamel Matriochka bracelet bag modeled after a Matriochka (seen here carried by Lily Allen).
The collection features necklaces, bracelets, earrings and broaches.
