I believe OP is referring to the price of the Chanel. The Happy is not $3,500.
OP, I love this bag and I think anyone can wear it.

Yes, sorry I didn't make that clear. The $3500 bag is the Chanel, up from $2800 9 months ago. That's just ridiculous!
anitos - I think I'm attracted to this bag because it does look so much like the reissue, but at a fraction of the cost. The Happy is only $1700 and I've heard that Lanvin bags are very well made. Thanks for your input!
hannahsophia, afancybaglady, and KittyKat65 - Thank you everyone for your opinions. I was hoping to hear what you all wrote.
Anybody have experience with the ribbon falling apart?
Thank you kgirl
! Although I do love how it looks with the ribbon, I also wondered if I could take it off and how the bag would look without it. So, this is good to know.

I LOVE this bag! I have been lusting after Lanvin for about 2 years now, unfortunately i have never gotten around to purchasing one of their bags as something else always came up and i went a bit Chanel mad a while ago, haha
Anyways- i think the bag is perfectly lovely for a lady of your age, they are classy and classic bags and will never date but i DO think the Happy looks better WITH the ribbon on the side, it is one of the ways it differientiates itself from Chanel

I hope the Happy bag isn't too young for a 40-something woman -- that's the bag I plan on buying next and I'm in my mid-40s!! I have fallen head over heels in love with the Happy Bag! I tried it on in the store and to be honest, the ribbon wasn't even that obvious. There's also a quilted version, which I think could be perceived as a little more "mature" than the soft leather version.

LOVE the bag. No, you're not too old for it. However, I am in the minority that doesn't care for the bow. I would be very tempted to get it for myself, IF the bow comes off. But then, I don't do scarves on my bags, and I would also be afraid of the bow fraying. But the bag - gorgeous!
I don't know whether the ribbons will fray or not in the long run but you're definitely NOT too old for the bag...
I think this bag is a classic and even ladies in their 60s can still pull this off! I love this bag so much... I've been thinking about getting this or Amalia for myself for sometime. I was even thinking that if I buy this bag I could actually lend this to my aunty who's 58 or my mum who's 59... so there you go
some bags are just great no matter what age you are... and this is one of those bags...

I don't think there's an age limit on the Happy. I'm 41 and have two of them. I'd get more in a heartbeat too! Here's my black wrinkled lambskin one
My ribbons are in great shape still but they are just roughly cut and are intentionally imperfect. For me that's a big part of the charm this otherwise perfectly ladylike bag.
BTW I have a Reissue 227 size also and much prefer the Happy!
