It is true Lanvin has lost its luster but there are still a couple of bags that are worthy of my desire, like this Happy Quilted Clutch. Notice I used desire instead of "lust", this just isn't one of those bags that begs for my attention. But if you need a good clutch, this does fit the bill. The trend now is to go for a standout clutch that makes the outfit, like a Derek Lam or McQueen that will start conversations but sometimes all we need is a wallflower clutch that just sits back and blends in. Yeah, that was a really nice way to say this is boring but with the beautiful quilted light bronze satin and cool oversized turn lock closure, it does have many positive details to rave about. At Barneys New York for $1305.

It's actually a very nice, yet understated clutch. It shows that the woman carrying it has a sense of style, but isn't screaming for attention.
It's nice, although simple.
It would be good if one wanted something else about one's outfit (e.g. clothes, jewellery, or shoes) to be centre of attention; but it does seem hugely overpriced for such a simple bag.
