Its magnetic top flap opens to two compartments with a card slit and interior mirror, all lined in blue lambskin leather, and it is made in Italy in one size. At about 6.25 inches tall and 7.75 inches wide, it suits light-carry days, and Lanvin advises keeping it away from rain, heat and sunlight and storing it in the included protective pouch.[1,2,3,4] | Compagnon Leather Handbag: Choose this if you want a slim, structured designer shoulder bag in genuine calf leather with gold-tone hardware, a curved flap with a faceted push-lock, and signature J and L topstitching.
