One doesn’t normally associate elegant Lanvin with playfulness, but the Ouloulette Polka-Dot Jacquard Clutch proves they can occasionally venture into girlishly-cute territory without sacrificing their standard grace. Well placed and fairly visible, the dots still appear more discreet than gaudy (as many polka dots tend to be). Playing nicely with a sleek silhouette and a sinewy gold chain strap, the dots merely contribute to the bag’s overall sophistication. Find it for $750 at Net-a-Porter.

Is it just me, or does this Lanvin Miss Sartorial Wristlet seem extra small, even for a wristlet? It measures 7.25″ long by 10.75″ wide by 1″ deep, and has a 6.5″ handle drop (all of which seem fairly consistent with the expected wristlet size) but for some reason it still feels small and stiff to me. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s lovely and all, it just seems a tad too tiny for me to carry! However, if you’re smitten and anxious to sport it, you’ll find it for $1,487 at Barney’s New York.

Who among us couldn’t use a little pop of color in her handbag collection? With fall and winter upon us, it’s easy to get lost in a sea of browns, oranges, blacks and reds. But the Lanvin Lizard Box Clutch infuses a touch of green into all those fall looks nicely. It’s not too dressy for an upscale lunch (where you can pair it with your to-die-for brown fall boots), but it would also be a stellar choice for a fancy holiday party. Available at Matches for $2,033.

It may not be yellow, but this Lanvin Flat Satin Clutch breathes new life into any look, just like a ray of sunshine. It’s incredibly striking in person – sleek, smooth, shiny and brazen. It’s the no-fuss, always-ready clutch perfect for accompanying you to any special event. The little grayish bow detail is an unexpected touch that actually makes the bag for more interesting. Without it, it’s just another pretty clutch. Find it for $695 at MyTheresa.

This Lanvin Purple Cotton ’120th Anniversary’ Birthday Doll Tote is perfectly punchy and pleasant! I love the soft cotton texture and the simple grosgrain knotted ribbon handles. It also features goldtone grommets, an interior zip pocket, and full fabric lining. I wish I were a student again so I’d have an excuse to buy a fall semester tote bag; I would without a doubt splurge on this little belle! Feeling the love for it too? Find it on sale for $608 at Bluefly.

The Lanvin Pop Suede Shoulder Bag reminds me of one of my all-time favorite treats: rich and creamy caramel. This beautiful toffee suede bag has all the bells and whistles – a detachable chain and grosgrain strap, a bow, glam gold hardware, and pockets. If I were lucky enough to own this baby, I would pair her with my favorite jeans, cashmere sweater and boots for the chilly weather. Or I’d match her up with a denim wrap dress and platforms. Splurge and get yours for $1,480 at Net-A-Porter.

Given that the colorblocking trend shows no signs of fading anytime soon, this Lanvin Miss Sartorial Bicolor Flap Clutch could not have come at a more appropriate time. It’s such a beauty, incorporating a jazzy, simple black and white palette with relatively minimal gold hardware. I love the sleek, elegant shape of this little bag; it’s great for day or night, and its silhouette is reminiscent of the ladylike looks of the fifties. Preorder it for $1998 at Nordstrom.
