Chanel

In the world of designer toys, there are many figures, but few legends. The Chanel Be@rbrick, in its monumental 1000% scale (approximately 70 cm), undoubtedly belongs in the pantheon of urban art. It marks a historic moment: the point at which venerable Parisian haute couture met the Japanese street culture aesthetic of Medicom Toy. For many collectors, this piece, released in 2006, is considered the holy grail of Bearbricks.

The figure is an unmistakable homage to the "emperor" of fashion himself: Karl Lagerfeld. The design translates Lagerfeld's iconic look—the black sunglasses, the stiff white collar, the tailored jacket—into the abstract bear form. It is fascinating to see how, with minimal graphic means, the aura of one of the most complex personalities in fashion history has been captured. The classic black and white scheme is not only a reference to Lagerfeld's personal style, but also to the timeless DNA of the House of Chanel.

We are offering a piece that tells a story. This is an authentic vintage item from its release year of 2006, crafted from ABS plastic. Unlike many examples that have languished in dark vaults for years, this figure has been lived with and displayed. Its condition is honest and commensurate with its age: typical, material-related discoloration is present on the hands, arms, and back of the head—a patina familiar to connoisseurs of these early Medicom series. The surface also shows light scratches, which attest to the object's history.

Please note: The original packaging is no longer available, which is common for this model, as it was often used purely as a display piece in exclusive circles. This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the world's most coveted fashion collectibles at a price that reflects its condition. An absolute statement piece for any loft, showroom or collection that celebrates the intersection of luxury fashion and pop culture.
