To celebrate the launch of the KARL LAGERFELD global online women’s flagship store on karl.com, fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld and artnet are partnering for an exclusive auction of three one-of-a-kind handbags, each accompanied by its original sketch.
Designed by Karl Lagerfeld exclusively for the partnership, the unique bags have been expertly crafted by hand, while the rare sketches are coveted as pieces of art in and of themselves and are seldom made available for sale. These exclusive handbags and original sketches are currently live for bidding on artnet auctions through November 10, 2015.
