Lanvin is one of those lines that, for generations, has been creating heirloom-worthy garments that women love to wear. Same goes for their accessories line, which is a collector’s favorite.
This classic and sophisticated Reporter Bag is ever so slightly less than what I have come to expect from Lanvin, honestly. Or maybe I should say that it’s a little bit more than what I have come to expect from the line? In other words, I think this bag is lovely, but somewhat overdesigned.
The rectangular shape is the perfect showcase for the front patent zip pocket that perfectly replicates the shape of the bag itself. I love the way the gold-toned hardware sets off the textures of the bag, and I adore the grosgrain ribbon entwined through the chain strap.
Taken separately, I like almost all of the details. The big floppy bow adds another layer of texture that is really intriguing, but between the bow, the ribbon threaded chain, the logo medallion, the patent leather, and the exposed zipper, frankly, I’m just a little confused about where to look.
All in all, this is a classy bag with a lot of interesting details. I’m just not convinced that the bag needs all of them.
