juneping · Jun 16th, 2008, 02:16 PM

hi ladies,

i can't seem to find any threads of Lanvin handbags...so i started this thread.

recently i bought a Lanvin handbag b/c i got this SC and i wanted to use it before i forgot about it. the bag was so pretty and i loved the color. it looks like a "hero" but w/out the handle..it has the metal chain hung from the sides. the only thing bothers the sh*t out of me was the flap..which started to crook right after i use it b/c of the weight of the bag. though i got it on sale (around 1K) but the orig price was 1800. is it normal??

i tried to put a cardboard in it...still no use. very frustrating.

I would take it back - i once had to return a Prada bag to neimans because the leather thread was breaking on the front of it after about 4 months of use.

what do you mean by 'crook'? sorry if that is a stupid question but I've never heard that before.

I think I know what you mean by "crook". I am not too familiar with your bag but I do have three chain strap flap bags that all do this. My items tend to shift in the purse and the side with less collapses a little. I carry a small cashmere wrap with me most of the time (dislike being cold) and this helps keep the shape. BTW, pretty bag.

I think I understand what you're saying...in my experience, though, this happens to all soft flap bags....

I agree.
I love the bag!!! The color

Whatever you do, don't take it back. Just try to get the rest of the bag to "break in"
