If it’s Lanvin, I love it, without question. But this new Lanvin Pompon PM Cabas Tote in a Technicolor-bright cerise? Fuhgeddaboudit, I’m sold. The masses of deconstructed, shredded grosgrain ribbon rosettes send frills (ha, get it?) up my spine, and the chain link handle wrapped in nylon is durable-but-girly. I can just see myself strolling down the Champs Élysées on a spring afternoon, looking impossibly chic and Parisian, swinging this tote and an armful of couture shopping bags while Gerard Butler asks if I want to stop for a chocolat chaud. Ah… l’amour!

Available for $1434 from Barneys NY

Luxe finds abound at the Barneys New York designer sale, which is packed with fab clothes, bags, shoes (hello, Louboutins!) and beauty products for up to 40% off their retail prices. I don’t know about you, but the prospect of scoring great deals always pulls me right in. The bag sale isn’t huge, but there are still a few great choices in the mix. Among the ones that caught my attention:

Marc Jacobs’ Memphis Robert Lexie Tote combines unexpected shades of purple and metallic green on otherwise basic, very simple black leather. Roomy, chic and nicely ingratiated into most wardrobes, it’s perfect for making the work-to-play transition and is a little less wacky than some other MJ purses, so it promises to wear well for years to come. Retailing for $1995, it’s on sale for $1199.

I’ve loved the Prada Stones Clutch for ages, so the fact that it’s now on sale is great news for me (but still pretty sad for my wallet). It’s the ultimate party-friendly purse, perfect for carrying everywhere from holiday shindigs to weddings. The Swarovski stones are gorgeous against the rich satin. Retailing for $1295, it’s on sale for $779.

Found: The perfect everyday black tote, courtesy of Givenchy. The Sacca Couture Padded Stitch Sac will go everywhere with ease, whether it’s a stuffy meeting or a let-loose lunch in the middle of the day. Roomy and beautifully constructed, it features adjustable straps and a magnetic closure. Retailing for $1875, it’s on sale for $1129.

Is there anything more irresistible than a sleek, sexy evening bag? Check out the Lanvin Teacher Quilted Pouchette, which doesn’t sound even remotely as alluring as it looks. Subtle texture lends it a little edge over other the rest, but what I love most is the detachable gold chain strap, which lends it a whole new look. Retailing for $2270, it’s on sale for $1359.

No, I don’t know what on earth Shenae Grimes and Alec Baldwin are doing together at Elle’s Women in Hollywood event. But I do know that the red clutch the 90210 star is holding is a Lanvin. The purse’s rich marroon hue and oversized shape are a nice complement to Shenae’s little black dress. Let’s just hope she didn’t leave with Alec’s number inside it!

Jennifer Lopez sizzled in a sexy black dress for the premiere of Michael Jackson’s “This is It,” and if you look closely you’ll note that her purse is none other than a lovely black pleated Lanvin clutch with ribbon accents. From that hot dress to the purse (understated yet romantic) to those killer boots, this look is a total thrill.

There’s loads of Lanvin on offer, slashed from $2K+ to $900, plus goodies from Marc by Marc Jacobs, Erva, Givenchy, and more. We even spied this cute Marc by Marc Jacobs wallet for under $60. Can’t beat that. Shop now at Barneys.com.

There’s nothing like a Lanvin purse to put a smile on my face, and this Happy Mini Pop Satin Bag should do the trick. Resplendent in softly quilted mustard yellow satin and accented with gold chain, black grosgrain ribbon, and a matching floral detail, this daring purse has a delicious Parisian quality that I love - off-kilter, but wickedly chic. I’d love to use this to liven up a monochrome black outfit. Available at Net-a-Porter for $1,240.

Now that’s what I’m talking about. The fine folks at Barneys have sweetened the pot with an extra 25% discount of sales items, which includes apparel, home goods, and divine designer handbags from the likes of Lanvin, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Erva, Givenchy, Barneys New York, and loads more.

Baby on board! Supermodel Heidi Klum kept her baby bump dry with a handy black umbrella, which also thankfully shielded her precious Lanvin leopard-print purse. I’m a huge fan of Lanvin, and though this animal-print version isn’t the most versatile or practical handbag, but it’s still pretty darn fierce. My only issue? The stripes on Heidi’s tunic distract from the print.

If you’re a sucker for art deco styling, lots of glitz and glamour, and money to spare, feast your eyes on this Lanvin Liz Pouchette. This eye-catching evening bag certainly embodies a classic Old Hollywood charm, from its sparkly gemstones and white pearls to its feathery pom-pom. I’d love to pair this with a slinky little black dress and paint the town red, but I do have a minor quibble: for $1,900, I’d expect the gemstones to be real, not plastic. It’s all in the details, darlings. Available for $1,900 at Barneys.com.

Looking to drop some dough on a divine designer purse? Look than further than Barneys, which is slashing prices on select handbags and apparel by 40%. (Can I get a “hell yeah”?) Up for grabs are discounted bags from Lanvin, Prada, Marc Jacobs, Givenchy, and more; the Marc Jacobs Mercer Cole Tote (shown) is down to $779 from $1,295, while Givenchy’s orange patent Nightingale (also shown) is $949, down from $1,575.
