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.

And of course the multiple occasions and outfits Coutney Cox matched with the stunning Lanvin Kentucky. See pictures below by clicking the thumbnails..

The Oulala Lanvin Satin Evening Pouchette
Ou-la-la, I am lovin’ Lanvin’s hot newbie, the intense pink Oulala sexy satin evening Pouchette.

At the beginning of the season I was all over the color purple, totally obsessing over it. Now as spring slowly approaches (is it too soon to say that?) I am ready for a change by adding more pink to my wardrobe.

(oh my gosh spring pink picks: Balenciaga’s Bubble Gum Pink & Marc Jacobs Raspberry!!! Yummy!)

The latest pink beauty I stumbled upon is this, evening rose gem by Lanvin. Dressed in silky satin and topped off with the signature geometric mirror with ribbon ornament. The mouth is kept shut with a magnetic snap closure which, when opened, reveals a logo lined interior and a attached cosmetic mirror. Also comes with a removable gunmetal chain strap.
