Lanvin Aumoniere Satin Pochette
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.
Feminine, chic, posh, sophisticated and sexy are terms one affiliates with Lanvin. These attributes are embodied by the Lanvin Aumoniere Satin Pochette. This darling black satin bag features drawstring opening and a raw-edged silk fuchsia flower embellishment that reminds me of my favorite spring flower, the Peony. A gold-tone metal chain strap provide a bit of shine. An interior patch pocket helps keep items in place.
I can imagine a sublime French lady sitting in an outdoor café enjoying an espresso in the afternoon sun as pedestrians pass by an comment on her ethereal beauty! I could also imagine myself carrying this to a ladies lunch or as the perfect accessory to a daring little black dress while out for the evening!
This adorable bag measures 10” x 7” with an 18” strap drop. $750 at NET-A-PORTER.COM.

“I can imagine a sublime French lady sitting in an outdoor café enjoying an espresso….”
you just painted such a beautiful picture in my mind.
Who is her dress by? I must have it.
What could you not wear this bag with? I love it.
Where do they sell lanvin in Washington? I’m looking to see this bag in person.
I don’t have any bags in my closet, I never really would have considered a pochette before, but I am really drawn in. I adore Lanvin handbags. The leather is so buttery soft and the fabric used is so feminine (if that makes sense)
btw, I noticed that you’re a new blogger. Welcome to TBF. I look forward to reading your posts :)
My honest opinion – I love it, but this isn’t a bag I would recommend for the everyday woman. It’s a bag where you have to be at luxe event or have friends who also shop Lanvin to recognize. Otherwise your just carrying a black pouch from macys with a big ugly flower on it.
I had no idea Lanvin was around for that long. Learn something everyday :)
About this purse. I think it’s fabulous. Not a bag I would wear, but I still would pause to admire.
Hi, I’m iffy on this one. I think it’s darling, although the price is a bit steep for me. Any ideas for a look for less?
Hey I was wondering, do any of you know if this will be on sale anytime soon?
I gu ess I am the only that thinks that this little pouchette looks cheap. I don’t care who the designer is, but a satin bag for $750 is ridiculous.
