Lanvin’s line of Amalia bags has been, in general, fantastic. But this medium python shoulder bag is by far my favorite of the bunch. It has all the elegant femininity that we’ve come to expect from Lanvin, but with an exotic twist.
The gray-brown python skin is simply phenomenal. I’ve never seen a snakeskin bag in quite this color, and it looks fresh and new even though it’s neutral. The simple shape of the Amalia is well-suited to showcasing the brilliance of the skin, and allowing the eye to fully take in all the natural texture.
The details on this bag are extremely well balanced. The dual chain and leather handles are beautiful in their own right, but they don’t take away from the simplicity of the design. The signature interwoven Lanvin grosgrain bow is a sweet feminine detail that gels well with the whole package.
The Amalia is an extremely versatile exotic bag. Because the straps are adjustable and can be joined together, it can be worn over the shoulder, across the body, or held in the crook of your elbow. It should be versatile to account for the $3,340 price tag, and it’s bound to spawn a wave of cheaper imitations for those of us that can’t make quite that kind of financial commitment.
