Lanvin Gold Metallic Hobo

Sorry about the late story, I am having issues with bugs that you do NOT want to know about. Anyhoo, I told you I was in a disco mood – everything gold and shiny is catching my fancy these days. I know the functionality of this bag breaks all my rules, but I love the gold with the black thick ribbon straps. There is something shouting out at me, I mean gold lamé is so “out” that it is “in” (although this is gold leather but has that lamé look), or maybe the round belly of the bag is comforting to me and the glam makes me feel like I can be comfy yet sassy. Again the hobo shape is coming strong for Fall but instead of boho this is glam-ho! Whatever it is, I am loving Lanvin and this bag is so me right now!! At Browns Fashion for $2840.


Poor Minnie Mouse, her bow was stolen to make this clutch. And what a shame too because it is a sad excuse for a clutch at that. Other than looking like a ridiculous cartoon character, how the heck do you use this thing? Unless you just need to carry scarves with you, what can you possibly fit in there that can crumple in half like that? To make matters worse, I don’t think the center of the bow unravels so you have to get the zipper to unzip under it. And if you think there is some saving grace to this bag, there is not – to add insult to injury, this comes with a shoulder strap so you can really look like a 3 year old with a toy but you pay full adult price at $1095. I truly cannot believe this has a Valentino label on it, it is not only ill-conceived, it is poorly made. It looks like the result of fidgety hands while on a shrinks couch. At Neiman Marcus.
