Lanvin Quilted Amalia Cabas Tote

Lanvin Quilted Amalia Cabas Tote
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!

    I just came back from Majorca, Spain and I fell in love with a Lanvin bag there. It was the same style as the one above except it was light champagne satin. It was gorgeous. I thought I would get it for a better price here in the states but so far I can’t find it on all the websites. The girl said it was last year’s model. Can you help me find it?
