Follow usLanvin 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!
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.

I own a couple lanvin handbags, and I must say, these bags are amazing. Truely classic.
I love the brown and black combination. Lanvin is amazing!
Black straps with a navy blue leather would be tdf.
I’m not familiar with this brand. It’s so expensive. Is lanvin a popular brand?
I hope you post about Lanvin handbags more often, they’re stunning.
Omg, I agree! This bag in a blue would be totally Amazing!
I think Lanvin is a classic brand, definitely doesn’t get enough recognition.
Yes, lanvin handbag are so amazing. I love the little bow and charm detailing
Is lanvin ever on sale?
This bag is gorgeous, but uh that price is insane.
Lanvin handbags are so pricey, but are well-worth it.
Hey will this ever be on sale?
I don’t really like the brown and black combo – not that crazy about it – but I love Lanvin!
The quilting reminds me of Chanel…

Hey Jennifer, I don't think the LUISAVIAROMA website is converting the currency correctly. When I use a currency conversion website, the price came out to be over $2000.
OMG WANT THIS! I love lanvin handbags.. the leather is so unbelievably amazing. BRS, now I just don't know.. what site did you use? When I used the google converter it came out close to the same amount you posted above. Bit surprised though because Lanvin usually retails in the $2,000-$3,000+ range. I couldn't find it anywhere else... where else is lanvin sold? I only know of barneys.
Hmm... maybe I entered it in wrong. I'm getting the same amount as you did. But when you mouse-over the price on LUISAVIAROMA, it gives the $1560 estimated conversion. So there's still like a $55 difference. At any rate, I agree with you about it being cheap. They usually retail for more.
Oh, Net-A-Porter has a few!
