Lanvin is the oldest French couture house, founded in 1889 by Jeanne Lanvin. In the late 19th and early 20th century, she developed the quintessential French fashion house with a comprehensive approach to lifestyle including perfumes, fashion and design.

Since 2001, the owners have worked to return this major French name to it’s former prestige. The brand is a reference for French luxury across all continents with its perfumes, fashion and accessories.

Jeanne Lanvin was a pioneer in her day, making a big name for herself in the world of 1920s fashion. She designed clothing for women, men, and children alike. Her designs often employed the use of quilted fabrics, lace, and texture. She also enjoyed mixing different materials together, such as patent with matte or transparent with opaque. She was inspired by the impressionist artists of her time, as well as by the many different cultures she paid visit to around the world.

When I see Lanvin pieces today, especially when it comes to handbags, I can see that her sense of style still lives on in the designs. Take, for example, the Lanvin Quilted Amalia Cabas Tote. This large, lambskin tote is simple and chic. However, it also offers a variety of textures to entice the onlooking eye. It has quilting, grosgrain ribbon, tortoiseshell, and chains. But what I find most interesting about this tote is the cleaver use of the chain handles. They are actually all one piece, threaded through the tortoiseshell grommets. Simply grab one of them and pull it out to lengthen… and you have a nice shoulder bag instead of a hand held tote! Cool and classy!

The Lanvin Quilted Amalia Cabas Tote is available in Brown/Black (shown) or Black. It measures approximately 18″ x 14″ x 6″ and it retails for about $1560. Find it at LuisaViaRoma, where it is currently being offered on Pre-Order.

What’s this I see? Could this be a new City Tote from Foley and Corinna? Wrong! Try again! This bag is actually one of Lanvin’s new additions for Spring. Introducing the Lanvin Assouan Flat Sac.

Soft navy blue leather is paired with brown braided handles and black/silver lucite stud hardware. It is a convertible style, just like the F+Cs I have come to know and love. It can be worn either as a hand-held or a shoulder bag. Or, you can simply take the detachable strap off, fold it in half, and carry it as a nifty magazine clutch. Overall, this bag isn’t too bad. I love the rich navy blue color, the studs, and the versatility. The braided leather handles threw me off a little bit at first, but they are starting to grow on me. Foley and Corinna lovers will most likely feel drawn to this bag. I know I do! Now if only it was priced like a F+C!

You can check out the Lanvin Assouan Flat Sac at *NET-A-PORTER.COM*, where it is called the Lanvin Studded Shoulder Bag. It measures 16″ x 11″ x 1″ and retails for $1,845. Yowza!

Ou La La! That’s actually the name of this clutch, and I can clearly see why. French couture brand Lanvin, presents to us something that makes me want to dress up really bad, just so I could accessorize with this pretty. The choice of anthracite on satin is excellent, as I imagine how versatile it would be among different colors of evening wear. I’m really digging the dark elegant look yet there’s that nice feminine touch of florals and silk ribbon present. About the cluster of jewels found right up front, what’s not to love about them? Its design is stunning, pleasant, and something I wouldn’t want the gems to fall off of! Lanvin really kept the typical evening woman in mind by adding quick and functional features such as a magnetic flap top closure for easy access to your essentials and an internal vanity mirror intended for quick touch-ups via your own clutch (yay)! Measuring in at 10” x 6” x 2”, you can find this pretty up for grabs for $1,575. Definitely steep, but oh so pretty! Ladies, what’s your input on this clutch, and would you wear this?

Designer Purse Deal: Lanvin Woven Straw Ludvine Bag
Everyone has that one (or two, or three, or yes even four) bag(s) that they love to death, that they couldn’t ever imagine any other bag coming close in comparison, or well at least ever chucking it in closet dooming it for years, only to substitute it for any other. Trends come and go, but the bag you love is classic, timeless, or even just plain ideal for your everyday needs. You have met your match. It may be your Chanel 2.55 bag, Balenciaga City, YSL Muse, Coach Signature Tote, Hermes Birkin, etc. For me, well besides my GSH City and (at this moment) Nightingale, the love in my life that I can’t seem to part with, ever since I saw it sitting neatly upon a pedestal in the Barney’s window, is my Lanvin Ludvine bag. (satin version pictured on momist). Not exactly the same version pictured above, mine is dressed in a luxe squishy black leather with vintage brown goat flat handles and features a totally chic lucite frame. Nonetheless, if they were standing next to each other, one would obviously come to the conclusion that they are closely related if not twins. I will wear it until its death..

The version resting in my closet is long sold out, however the style lives.. but not for too long because it’s in the sale section of bluefly for 20% off!

The form of the bag (pictured above) is created out of black woven straw and features silver-tone hardware. For easy access there is a large front patch pocket with twist-lock closure, that’s ideal for everything you want close (cellphone, keys, tickets, etc). The double rolled leather straps has a 6.5” drop, so to fits comfortably over the shoulder. The framed bag opens wide enough (about 11″,) to reveal everything in your bag within reach. No sifting for your wallet. Also, the lucite frame has a magnet built in, so it snaps shut with the slightest tap. Measurements: 15.5” at widest x 9.5” tall at center x 7” deep.

Lanvin Python Kanvas Bag
Lanvin recently re-introduced the popular Kansas bag with an exotic twist.

Lanvin bags have won over the hearts of many with the functional design mixed in with the classic everyday look. A couple of our favorites Lanvin in action pics are of Courtney Cox Arquette and of socialite fashion heiress Margherita Missoni. And as how they demonstrate in the pictures, this bag looks great for almost any occasion: jeans and t-shirt for a casual day around town or match it with little more sophisticated look in a tailored pencil skirt suit. Whatever you choose this bag is purely superb.

Now add the silver grey metallic finish python to the mix and this bag is gold.

The unstructured body is made up completely from metal feet-to-mouth with python material with a silver finish that really catches ones attention. Also features double brown shoulder straps that work just fine for carrying over the shoulder or on your arm. The mouth of the bag keeps your items secure with a interior zip closure. The interior is lined with the signature Lanvin lining and features one single leather pocket on the back wall.

The metallic python comes with a steeper price tag than the original canvas versions. This beauty can be spotted at mytheresa.com with a $3,497 price tag.
