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!
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.

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…
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?
^ NetaPorter has some similar styles in the champagne color. So pretty!!
