Lanvin Strikes… Again

It’s no secret that I’m a die-hard Lanvin fan. In fact it’s one of the most important reasons that I cannot get a credit card. If I owned a house to mortgage, I would be indulging in the labels every collection. And who can blame a girl when artistic director Alber Elbaz and his team of magical fairies give us treasures beyond our most lavish imaginations, season after season.

One of my absolute favourite items from the Spring/ Summer 2013 showings is the Lanvin ‘ARPEGE’ evening bag; a hand-polished black enamel case, trimmed with gold clasp and gold snake handle. The bag is a tribute to the 85 years of Arpège fragrance, resembling the black ball bottle designed by Armand Albert Rateau in 1927.

Did I mention it’s available this month? Sigh…
