Lanvin Heaven, Hero, and Heroine Bags

I want this one. Don't know the real name...anyone? Picture from luisaviaroma.com. Blog from purseblog, written by me :p.

A Lanvin handbag is an easy way to say, "I'm a classy chick." This Lanvin bag says, "I'm a classy chick but I can rock a giant silver chain." I love this bag. I wish it were mine. The subtly textured inky blue is such a rich color. It makes me think of royal satins and watercolors and midnight. The hardware is absolutely perfect. Not only is the silver right on, I wouldn't change a thing about the design of the hardware. The plate with the turnlock closure is just the right size, the detail on the handles extending down like sleek suspenders is so cute, and the zipper compartment actually adds to the bag. I have seen too many fine bags ruined by superfluous zipper compartments and I am thrilled to see that this pragmatic option can exist without damaging the visual effect of a bag. That chain, on the other hand, can't be very practical. It'll leave chain-loop welts on any shoulder to be sure, especially if the carrier is taking advantage of the multiple compartments of this delicious bag and thus making it heavy. It would look lovely handheld, though, with the just-short-of-blingy chain hanging nicely to the side. Perhaps, though, the chain would be useful in heated social situations when one is compelled to choke a b*tch. In which case this bag relays the sweet message, "I’m a classy chick but I will f*** you up." Now that is something I've always wanted in a handbag. Get it at luisaviaroma.com for 1198 Euros, which is somewhere in the ballpark of $1587.59.
 
omg! :rofl: yes, thats what i like to think when im luggin' my stam around:muscles: :boxer: you're so funny!!!!!!!:lol:
 
if anyone wants a nice bag, leshant has one on ebay right now for pretty cheap!!!! 290064262899 (not my auction BTW, just thought the price was really good, but there's only and hour left)
 
^that's the bag I got on mega sale last summer at Barneys, seeing the pic is inspiring me to use it as it's been months since it left the closet, perhaps tomorrow ^_^

(so if anyone is considering it and has questions, ask away!)

I guess, I only really use bags that small on weekends, and lately when I want a bag like that I go for my patent Hero, since it's slouchier it fits stuff better. Also the metal strap on this one makes it less comfortable than the patent one with the big cloth messenger strap and soft leather shoulder strap. Really it just became a casuality of me buying the patent one so soon after. :rolleyes:
 
just saw the the lux was added on barneys.com - gorrrrrgeous...sigh. me :heart: so much.

Ah, so this is where the Lanvin bag discussion is! :woot: Wow, I also see that the prices have gone up quite a bit since, hopefully it's due to popular demand! I bought my black Heaven in 2004 and I'm proud to say that I still use it today! They are problably made alittle better now since I noticed the chain to be lighter on the newer models. The chain on mine is quite cumbersome, in fact, my whole purse flipped over one time at a club and all of my belongings fell out! :lol: My boyfriend attempted to bar me from using it in dark places ever again. He'd rather--- more like insisted---on holding onto my belongings than have me carrying the purse. It's really worth the $$$, though. It's somehow both subtle and attention-catching. I still get compliments on it today. the shoes, too! Another well-worth-it purchase! Basically, I highly recommend Lanvin's accessories!
 
^ well said ladies. me love lanvins...i see that barneys has a whole array of them back online. im hoping these will go on sale again in the spring/summer when the new season's stock comes in. for now, i will continue to drool over pics.

That sounds nice...do you have a pic? I think Lanvin bags are really gorgeous and underrated. Probably a good thing!
 
^^^Oh, Morriseel, my boyfriend (who's in Boston right now) has my camera so I'm not able to post a photo yet, but it looks like this (courtesy of Wyatt.'s previous post):


instead in black, distressed, but almost shiny leather. I'll post a photo asap. It's really classy...I've even used it on a job interview (at a conservative investment bank, too, of all places)! Despite having everything fell out at the club (as mentioned on previous post), the purse can surprisingly hold a lot! I highly recommend!
