Lanvin is one the oldest couture houses, and as such, it has been outfitting the richest and most fabulous of the elite for more than a century. Its purebred roots result in designs that will remain as chic and timeless a hundred years from now as they were a hundred years ago.
This satin Pop shoulder bag would make a perfectly confectionary addition to any ensemble. It is the very definition of understated: simple and unfussy, but with gorgeous, swoon-worthy details.
The color itself is a mouthwatering watermelon-y coral red. The fabric is the highest quality satin with a soft sheen and a smooth hand. I love the contrast between the supple softness of the fabric and the hard, structured look of the hardware. The clasp is particularly engrossing. Made of metal and acrylic, it adds a modern touch to this timeless classic.
The dainty, feminine chainlink straps add a hint of sparkle and a touch of glam. Although I usually don’t go in for logos, the meticulously crafted Lanvin coins attached to the strap are gorgeous in and of themselves. Lots of labels could take a cue here, and think of their logos as works of art, rather than as abstract and unaesthetic branding devices meant to be mindlessly stamped on canvas.
This shoulder bag is chic and versatile. It would be lovely for day with jeans and a sophisticated cardigan, but would also be great for a pretty serious evening of dress up. The only drawback of this bag, as far as I can tell, is the price. At $850, this lovely bag by the age-old couture house just isn’t in my stratosphere.
