Bag Review: Lancel Bags for AW2012- 13


 

The premier French luxury bag brand Lancel has been in the Philippines for a little over 2 years. Lancel has one of my favorite bags that I am lovingly using and I was fortunate to have attended the FW2012-13 presentation at the Edsa Shangrila Mall– without being late!

Lancel has changed direction and has been producing classic but “considerably younger” styles which have caught the attention of many in recent years. I’ve been very pleased with my own Lancel bag 🙂  I’m hapy to share photos of the bags with you, and here’s a brief introduction of the bags from the collection as well

Here’s the brand’s iconic bag, the Premier Flirt– in all leather.


My 3 favorites for this season are:

Orange stamped lizard leather Premier Flirt– the color is beautiful, and the leather looks like exotic lizard skin! It’s also quite light.

The quilted leather Premier Flirt

And the intricate weave Premier Flirt in taupe (a color which I have taken a serious liking to). This weave Premier Flirt bag just looks so elegant.

I have to tell you that after having used the Premier Flirt, it made me love the bag even more. It has been remarkably easy to carry the bag. It’s not heavy, and that small exterior pocket really comes in handy. I love to tassel pulls because they work to secure the bag and give the bag that “feminine” feel and look. You can carry the bag either on your shoulder/ crook of your arm or through its long strap over the shoulder/ cross body. It is an very versatile bag!

The tote version is quite lovely too. Very good workmanship! And that unmistakable exterior pocket spells Lancel.

The L’Angelina. In a gorgeous shade of blue!! The strap of L’Angelina is quite thick, making it easy and comfortable for shoulder carry.

I really like this saffron- colored Boheme bag. It works for shoulder carry or for cross- body carry. I think this makes for the perfect travel bag! Not too big and not too small either!

Le Brigitte Bardot– named after the beautiful actress herself 🙂 It’s actually an offshoot of the popular Premier Flirt. I love this printed one! It’s striking!

The Daligramme Collection, inspired by Salvador Dali’s language of love. Part of the collection includes the limited edition Dalidol bag (middle)

A limited edition Daligramme Dalidol bag. Pretty in printed “love gram”! 

Lancel also carries small leather accessories like these very popular phone sleeves.

And then of course, the bag charms/ keychains. I could not resist this mini Premier Flirt bag! It’s too cute!!!

If you are in Manila, Philippines, I highly recommend you pay Lancel a visit. Give the bag I featured a little “test drive” and see how you like them for yourself 🙂

Lancel is located at the Edsa Shangrila Mall and is carried exclusively by Riviera Luxury Retail Corporation.
