Lets talk Lanvin

[Regina07]

I've been seeing Lanvin bags in Paris for years but didn't know much about them. This time, while in Paris for NewYears holiday, I visited the Lanvin store and fell in love. They are timeless, classic, quality bags. I agree they are 'stealth wealth' bags as they're not showy or trendy. I plan to pick one up during my next trip to Paris in June!

I have a large black with a silver chain from last season from Jeffrey -- supposedly the Mississippi, but it doesn't look like the Mississippi on Barney's website. The leather is really superb, so silky smooth but I am always afraid I will scratch it. I don't think most people know what it is, but SA's have commented on it at several stores.

I absolutely love Lanvin bags... I do not own one, but I hear they do hold up well

I have two and love them. I have a patent turquoise heroine bag and a brown calf schoolbag. The heroine had problems with the clasp, but I sent off to Bob Ellis Shoes and they fixed it no questions asked. It's as good as new.

The patent bag is impervious to weather. The calf gets water spots; have to be careful with it. The both have the great long shoulder strap that I guess all Lanvin bags have. Love them!!

Wow--the turqoise is beautiful--what a lovely color!

I was in serious lust over one I saw at Bob Ellis Shoes, but the price was a killer. Then they put them on sale at 30% off.....still a killer. THEN it goes to 50% off and I flinched, but it was still too much money for what for me, was a relatively unknown entity. TDF bags though.

I have two Lanvin bags, both of which I purchased at Barney's. I like them because they seem a little bit edgier than my other bags. One is the black Kanvas with the chain handle. It is slightly heavy, but not bad. It is really a great bag for every day. Holds a lot and easy to get in and out of. Totally durable.

You don't have to undo the clasp which I find their clasps annoying . . altho I do have the clasp on other my Lanvin which is the cushion crushed patent hero style in the cobalt'ultramarine blue. That one has the fabric handle so I can use that on the other bag if I don't want to deal with the chain. And without the shoulder straps they are great too. The handles are perfect length to go under your arm . . . Whenever I see people carrying the hero bags around they are unclapsed but they are under the arm

I am a huge Lanvin ballet flat person so I got into the bags because of the shoes . . . my cobalt blue crushed patents are my fave ballet flats. I don't think are made as well as some bags - LV or BV . . . but definitely comparable to Chloe to me . . .

Your crushed patent cobalt blue bag and your ballet flats sound like they are TDF!

This store opened October 2006 . I was in there today, and they are carrying Lanvin bags and clothing but not shoes, for any interested . . .

[mercer]

awesome! it's hard to find lanvin, so this is good news! thanks for sharing!

 

[twinkle.tink]

NM stanford carries them too.

 

[Laria]

I was told by my SA that select stores got them in and not that many of them. I think they are trying to see if they sell before they order more. But I didn't like the ones they ordered when I saw their book a few months back.
