DALLAS, TX.- On Dec. 4, some of the world’s most extraordinary and coveted handbags, accessories and jewels will come together in one dazzling event: Heritage’s Winter Luxury Accessories Signature® Auction.

Leading the event is an extraordinary single-owner collection showcasing the best of Hermès, Chanel and Van Cleef & Arpels. The collection’s name says it all: Exceptional Creations from Legendary Houses. The phenomenal assemblage, which was carefully curated by a private collector with a passion for luxury and a keen, discerning eye, includes rare, exotic skins; exclusive special orders; coveted colors; and the largest selection of Hermès Mini Kellys ever offered in one auction.

“This collection offers an exhaustive and brilliant array of the rarest, most coveted bags and precious jewels,” says Diane D’Amato, Heritage Auctions’ Director of Luxury Accessories, Private Sales & The Boutique. “It is utterly astounding.”

Among the collection’s many treasures is the exceptionally rare and highly desirable Hermès Limited Edition Argent Sterling Silver Kellymorphose Sac Bijou Chaine Bag. This reimagined miniature Kelly is a masterwork of wearable art and beloved by collectors worldwide. Timelessly elegant and created with unparalleled craftsmanship, it’s the culmination of luxury and artistry.

Another highlight is the cozy and chic Hermès Limited Edition 20cm Chamois Grizzly Suede, Alezan Swift Leather & Shearling Teddy Plush Mini Kelly. This playfully sophisticated retelling of Jean Paul Gaultier’s beloved Teddy is the pinnacle of whimsical luxury and a must-have bag for the season.

Speaking of seasons, the Hermès 25cm Nata Swift Leather & Osier Wicker Picnic Birkin is the perfect pick for warm-weather getaways. Among the most intricate bags Hermès creates, each bag requires two expert artisans — a master saddler for the leather work and a specialized basket weaver. An instant classic from its debut, it remains one of the rarest and most sought-after bags for collectors and devotees alike.

Other standouts include the Hermès 25cm Shiny Bleu Electrique Niloticus Crocodile Birkin, a stunning creation made from one of the scarcest materials on Earth: the hide of the Nile crocodile. Then there’s the Hermès 20cm Shiny Vert Emerald Alligator Mini Kelly and Hermès 20cm Shiny Vert Rousseau Alligator Mini Kelly. Both extremely rare and adorned with gold hardware, the exquisite jewel-toned creations are the epitome of timeless luxury.

In addition to fantastic bags and accessories, the Exceptional Creations from Legendary Houses collection is a treasure trove of magnificent jewelry, including the iconic Van Cleef & Arpels Vintage Alhambra Diamond and Gold Necklace featuring 4.83 carats of full-cut diamonds set in 18k yellow gold. The elegant Van Cleef & Arpels Perlée Clovers Diamond and Gold Bracelet is another fabulous find. A signature design by VCA, the bracelet is crafted from 18k yellow gold set with diamond clover motifs weighing 1.78 carats.

Also from Van Cleef & Arpels comes a dazzling pair of Two Butterfly Diamond and White Gold Earrings, in which marquise and full-cut diamonds weighing 1.67 carats are set in 18k white gold. Butterflies have been a creative inspiration for Van Cleef & Arpels for more than a century, and they continue to enchant collectors with their ethereal nature.

Beyond the auction’s magnificent single-owner collection, the event offers a wide selection of vintage Chanel handbags and accessories. Highlights include the Gold Metallic Leather & Clear PVC Flap Bag, the Black Quilted Caviar Leather Top Handle Flap Bag, the Dark Grey & Gold Wicker Basket Bag and the Gold-Plated Coco Plate Belt.

There are also several gorgeous examples of vintage Chanel jewelry, including the Gold-Plated Multicolor Gripoix Cross Necklace, the Red Gripoix & Crystal Choker and the Green Gripoix “CC” Necklace.

Heritage’s winter auction even features pieces for collectors’ four-legged friends. A new philanthropic initiative presented by Fetch Pet Insurance, Collars for Cause brings together four internationally acclaimed designers: James de Givenchy, Stefania Pramma, Irene Neuwirth and Josie Natori, each of whom created a bespoke dog collar in their respective and distinctive style.

From the New York-based house of Taffin, de Givenchy offers a leather dog collar accented with 18k gold and ornamented with “mon toutou,” a French phrase meaning “my puppy.” Pramma designed a sterling silver chain collar hand-crafted in Italy and featuring turquoise cabochons and a customizable nameplate. Los Angeles-based Neuwirth channeled her whimsical yet refined style with a hand-painted leather collar adorned with a turquoise charm. And Natori designed a hand-beaded collar, harness and leash ensemble that required more than 100 hours of meticulous handwork.

The net proceeds from the collars will benefit Broadway Cares, Broadway Barks, Project Street Vet, and Wags and Walks. The proceeds will go toward critical funding for medical care, adoption and support services for pets in need.
