Lanvin Maxi-Miss

lanvinmaximiss.jpg

This Lanvin is from their resort collection and it is like they are directly responding to my plea. Just last week I was searching high and low for a white bag for Spring/Summer, I had long conversations with Tina about this and it was decided that I should wait for the right bag to come along. And what happened today? I open the Barney’s catalogue and there she was in all her glory calling out to me saying, “Here I am!!”. This is what I’ve been searching for, minimalist but design detailed and a Lanvin, how can you go wrong? I’m not giving specific details about where to buy the bag until I get mine (although I did already give it away but you’ll have to do the leg work in finding exactly where one is). $1590 at ???.

  1. Bag Snob,

    If I saw a woman carrying this bag, you have NO IDEA how drawn to her I would suddenly become…

  2. I love this bag! You can buy it with our Bag Snob Amex 🙂

    An early Happy Birthday gift from Bag Snob to you 🙂

  3. I love Lanvin’s bags. I have a bone one from the first or second collection when Alber started doing bags. I love it so much I hardly ever wear it — I don’t want to get it marked up!! I just bring it out of its sleeper and gaze adoringly at it. It looks a lot like this one but I think I like it better.

    All this Lanvin talk . . . I’m going to have to go drool over it again!

  4. Dear Bag Snobs – you guys should log onto the Sergio Rossi website (www.sergiorossi.com). The bags are pretty cute: especially the patent leather “Vanity” and the “Nuvola”. And since they aren’t really known for their bags they are not too expensive. I think the “Nuvola” is around $900. So you could get 2 adorable bags for the price of 1 Marc Jacobs atrocity.

    THANKS DOLL,

    WE’RE FANS OF SERGIO ROSSI ALREADY AND WILL DEFINITELY CHECK OUT THEIR NEW LINE!

  5. I’ve STILL never been able to bring myself to buy a bag with a chain handle — I can’t get over worrying it will be uncomfortable to carry. How wrong am I about this?

  6. Chain handles are the MOST comfortable to carry, in my opinion. They are so light weight and won’t roll off your shoulders! I have small shoulders and rolled straps have been an issue for me. Chanel never ever lets me down with their classics and reissues.

  7. Thanks, Anne! I’ve never thought about it that way, but that’s a good point. I HATE straps that fall off my shoulders — I never buy bags with tube straps for that very reason. Will have to do some research…

  8. I just got this bag from barneys la in the gold calfskin. unbelievable. Im not a big white bag person and was surprised how large it was!! do you know what other colours it will come in?
