Birkin Yellow and Purple Chanel | Debra Franses

Purple and Yellow Chanel Bag Sculpture
By Debra Franses

Bold, luxurious, and unapologetically iconic—this Purple and Yellow Chanel Bag sculpture by artist Debra Franses is a standout piece that fuses high fashion with contemporary art. Cast in crystal-clear resin and accented with rich violet tones and vivid yellow details, this handbag-shaped sculpture captures the glamour of a Chanel classic while offering a modern artistic twist.

Inside the transparent shell, carefully placed found objects evoke a sense of personality and storytelling. Franses uses resin not just as a medium, but as a way to preserve desire, identity, and cultural symbols—turning everyday luxury into eternal art.

This piece invites viewers to reflect on the objects we treasure and what they say about who we are. Both playful and profound, it’s perfect for collectors who appreciate bold design, pop art influences, and fashion-forward commentary.
