Really Lanvin, really? We constantly share our Lanvin love on PurseBlog, since we have so much of it. Every design house decides to do something a little cooky from time to time and this is Lanvin’s flop. The Lanvin Flowered Denim Tote looks like nothing more than a take home art project.
There is yarn chiffon flowers accenting the front of the bag. Some of the flowers are bigger than the others, draping over the Lanvin logo. And because this bag is so “artsy”, Lanvin let the extra material at the end of the N dangle down the bag. Now the bag looks like a Lanvin knock-off from Lanvim. This is an all-over hot mess. And it is expensive, $1475 expensive.
At least when Fendi created a DYI bag you were actually the one that added your own touches. Lanvin already finished the art project and now wants to sell it to us. Somehow I can still picture someone taking this on their yacht in St. Tropez. Otherwise, a no from me. Buy via Neiman Marcus for $1,475.
this is crap with Lanvin’s name slapped on it and who ever buys it is an idiot, and i don’t care how much money you have!
But a lovely inspiration for a pre-christmas crafting afternoon with my little daughter (and I mean this in a nice way).
Ya – I don’t get it.
Ummmm I think my head hurts from all the bright colors! *covers eyes* Sheesh!
Amazing bag with a crazy price. Ok it’s LAnvin but the material and the creativity that this bag belongs have a value that can’t overtake the 600 euros!!

It looks like it could be from the Lanvin for H&M collaboration. I can imagine it being a lovely summer bag to be taken to the Hamptons or St. Tropez like you mentioned; but the price seems too much…

I so thought it was Lanvin for H&M. I nearly fell off my chair when i saw the price.
I could do better at k-mart.
yea right :))))))))
Yes I love lanvim! Lol
Megs, I was laughing my head off reading your review… As for the bag, it’s a great $1,475 Holiday joke, really…
I would be embarassed to take this art project home. I would dump it in the nearest trash receptacle on my way home.
Are you going to review the Balenciaga alphabet bag?
quote from Nina Garcia in project runway: I m so confused!!
whats wrong with these brand maker these day? Balenciaga/Kate Spade, and couple days ago there is Hermes lookalike clutch!!? Identity crisis!!!
Oh geez! 1,475 for something that looks like this? I won’t even pay 20 bucks for this, especially with that “LanviM” on the front.
It’s things like this that make me think twice about the whole luxury industry. Sure, there are some companies that are committed to delivering high-quality, hand-crafted products to justify the exorbitant prices they charge (Hermes, Bottega Veneta, etc.). But when I see something like this being sold, it just screams “we’re out to get your hard earned money whatever way we can!”. It’s just ridiculous. If a friend bought this, I would seriously have to re-think our friendship.

i can get one exactly the same for like.. 10 bucks from Thailand? :))
Great bag, this bag is a little like the bags on this site: http://www.etsy.com/shop/handmadezone , they are handpainted bag, special and unique
WTF?? Are you sure this is not a joke. I swear, the folks at LanviM were laughing hysterically when Neimans placed the order for this hot mess:(
Haha! Ok, yeah the price is high, but it’s not like I’m going to buy Lanvin anyway, so I’m just going to look at the bag itself. I love all the colour and the creative, spontaneity of the bag.

It’s unique but not for me thou….But I think it is still better than the Balenciaga Daim Alphabet Tote cost $1795….

Wonderful
Brings back fond memories of the gifts my grandma brought back from Acapulco.
Oh my! The daycare called. They want their crafting materials back!
Might as well bust out the Mumu, the big flowery hat and the bright pink lipstick while you’re at it. This screams I’m a tourist, and this is my first cruise to Mexico.
My mom brought home a straw tote bag EXACTLY like this one from a cruise they took to the Caribbean in the 70s. Gawd, what an eyesore.
Oh DEAR ! The Lanvin writing looks like it could be La Mum ! Looks like a horrible creation made by a child for their mother, that their mother must carry around until next Mother’s Day !
What’s your excuse Lanvin ?
Um.. No! (ipad)
What! No! (ipad)
No…the money is better spent on something more timeless. (ipad)
Way not worth the money…(ipad)
Lanvin honey, from now onwards, just focus on shoes, ok.. (ipad)

Art project gone awry? (iPad)
I actually bought this bag it was on sale i ended up paying 450 for it but i think I might return it while it’s cute is sooo big and my friends and family hate it. My mom says it looks like a market bag!
