Thanks my Chloe is circa 2012/13. The hardware is not as heavy as the Chloe and the lining is more silky on the L&V not as textured. but the leather and stitching is really good. I was comparing them side by side and the finish was just as nice IMO. It compares almost spot on with my Lanvin. I have a 2011 Lanvin purse and they are very very similar down to the leather where the zip is and the colour and everything. Spookily so, they could almost be made at the same place...
I hit post before I had a chance to identify this. It’s my Brahmin medium Asher tote. I think it was right around $300, plus it’s autographed by Joan Martin, one of the cofounders of the company. She was at one of my Dillard’s stores last summer,so I just had to get this
I had to age into Brahmin though. When I was younger they didn’t appeal to me at all. The last five years or so I came to appreciate their beauty. And I’m totally smitten with the little jewelry pocket some of the bags have.
This bag is just gorgeous! If you don’t mind me asking, how long did shipping take?
Wow! This purse sounds like excellent value for money. I can’t blelieve the L&V and Lanvin are so similar.
5 days to the west coast!! I put the order in Monday (probably their end of day) and I got it Friday morning.
Today it was the Dooney and Bourke foldover crossbody in navy Florentine leather. Understated and functional
This little bag has a lot of neat pockets. It can fit my large smartphone, keys, and a small wallet. I love that I can remove the crossbody strap and use as a clutch. It can be concealed under a coat, thrown in a tote. It's great for shopping. The retail is $188, but I got it for less.

Comparison shots. No joke the lining is the same lining!! The Lanvin bag has a darker colour and its embossed but it is the same silky striped cotton lining. The Lanvin has a thicker leather inner pocket. Leather is the same pretty much, smooth. Probably just the same type of leather. I'll let you guys assess.

They are so similar. When the leather is that smooth, is it considered box calf. I keep seeing that mentioned on here.
Bought this from a local online consignment shop and just arrived last Monday. Lovin' and rockin' it 2 days in a row already. Brand is ELLE Paris [emoji7]
Today I have a lot of running around to do. So it is going to be the Dooney and Bourke Flynn Saffiano tote. Love the organization. Have to carry glasses, sunglasses sweater, water, etc. It is priced at around $300, but got it for a preloved for a steal on the Bay.
