Lanvin can make things work that seem totally contradictory. If you had tried to describe for me a bag that looks both antique and modern, that is made of brown pebbled leather but doesn’t look sloppy boho, that will work for day or night, I probably would have scoffed.
But the Genereux leather shoulder bag is all these things. It is so many things, in fact, that I wonder what it would work for in real life. The brown leather sets off the chain and jewel link strap perfectly, and the gem clasp is a great touch.
But what’s going on with the chiffon on the strap? It’s kind of killing me with it’s incongruence. I guess because of the small shape Lanvin wanted it to work for evening, but I’m just not convinced that this bag needed silk chiffon and grosgrain.
Luckily, all of the parts of the strap are removable, so you can break this baby down to its beautiful bare bones if you so desire. I would rock it with long dresses and giant necklaces. Unfortunately, at $1,610, I won’t be rocking it with anything.
