Lanvin celebrates vintage style with this elegant Maisha shoulder bag.
This purse is every inch the lady, from its golden push-lock clasp to its gentle brown color. Fans of Lanvin’s more flamboyant designs may feel this shade is a bit drab, but it’s also timeless. It’s a hue that you can wear in any season, and any decade, as well you’d want to when you’re paying Lanvin prices!
The Maisha’s shape is like so many vintage inspired purses I’ve seen, but its buttery leather softens its edges. This helps the purse feel a little less buttoned up, which is a blessing if you don’t have a social calendar full of high teas and country club luncheons!
The dimensions are generous for a bag that hearkens back to a simpler time. Lanvin knows it’ll be carried by modern women, so it gives us some extra space and pockets for holding 21st century technology. The strap is also a bit longer than many vintage style bags, so we can carry it over our shoulder as well as over our arm.
Those extra concessions are lovely, but I still balk at spending $2245 on the Maisha. That’s a lot of dough to splash around on a bag that could easily fade in the background.
