Started from designing clothes for her beloved daugther, Jeanne Lanvin was able to attract the attention of wealthy women in Paris. Those women asked for Lanvin’s creation for their daughters and for themselves. The request of the wealthy women made Lanvin to think about establishing her own boutique. Following her successful business as a couturière, Lanvin established the business of home decor, menswear, and lingerie. And similar to the beginning of Lanvin’s boutique, her famous perfume that became her signature fragrance called Arpège was inspired from her daughter’s piano practices. These days, Lanvin adds more collections with handbags, shoes, t-shirts and even accessories such as iPad and iPhone cases.
Being the most influential designer in the era of 1920 and 1930, Lanvin made her collection with the intricate trimming and beautiful embroideries. Those collections consisted of the clear and light colors with the touch of floral look. This what became her trademark that was kept until now, even after the death of Lanvin and the changes of ownership. In the middle of 1960s, after about twenty years of Lanvin’s death, L’Oreal took over the ownership and the brand was run by Bernard Lanvin. At this time, Lanvin’s perfume was the most famous product of Lanvin brand. However, in 2001, Lanvin was taken into a private business again. This time Alber Elbaz started his debute in Lanvin House as the artistic director. He is the one who introduces the forget-me-not flower color. Elbaz also gives a big influence in the popularity of Lanvin. He successfully makes Lanvin brand be recognized by many people and be considered as a brilliant collection. Unlike the other luxury brands that keep the luxurious touch of fine leather or fur, Elbaz with his creativity produces canvas tote bags which are decorated with childish yet fresh sketches. Besides on the tote bags, those sketches of cartoon people are also used to decorate Lanvin t-shirts and accessories. The best collection of Lanvin sketches are on the 120th celebration of Lanvin in which Elbaz tries to show his respect for Jeanne Lanvin and her daughter in the mother and daughter sketches.
Besides the tote bags, Lanvin handbags are identical with its structured leather bags. Moreover, most handbags of Lanvin are equipped with chain-made straps and the decoration of ribbon and Lanvin signature medallion keychain with the words “Lanvin Paris” on the straps. Another thing that becomes the characteristic of Lanvin handbags is that most of the handbags strap is combined with leather on the shoulder part.
