Normally, my friends, I don’t wear hearts at all- not on necklaces, shirts, or bags- not even as an unoffending charm on my charm bracelet. But illustrated hearts have proven to be a different matter, at least in this case. You see, what I lack in hearts I more than make up in stars, and I’m finding the combination of the two in multicolored, illustrated form to be quite irresistible.

But I must admit that it’s totally cute and wonderfully free, though it’s clear that it’s far from painted by a kinder-gardener. No, these are careful scribbles perfectly penned to create the happy-go-lucky atmosphere of the pochette.
And it wouldn’t be Lanvin without the quintessential grosgrain mini-bow which doubles as a zipper pull and, quite possibly, a wristlet handle. That ribbon provides the tiniest bit of sophistication without detracting from the bounciness of the illustration. If ever you feel the need to purchase a Valentine’s clutch, this one fits the bill for the fashionista, as well as commemorating Lanvin’s 120th anniversary. Buy through Net-a-Porter for $280.
