With football season officially in full swing, on the rare occasion that I tune into a game, my gaze inevitably falls to the cheerleaders–and their pompoms. Thus you can imagine my glee with Lanvin’s spring collection chock full of tops, shoes and even a straw hat festooned with the bright, fuzzy accoutrement. However, it’s the taffeta mini shopping tote in cotton and nylon with multicolored silk ribbon pompoms throughout that’s tickling my fancy. This bag screams Alber Elbaz! It’s the handbag equivalent of carrying around a fresh bouquet of peonies–that never die!–and is perfect for the gentler, softer Bag Snob in you. The double chain and grosgrain ribbon handles add a touch of sweet charm to it without causing a toothache, while the fully lined interior with single zip pocket serve their purpose. What more could you want to spice up your next trip to Whole Foods? Lanvin Taffeta Pom Pom Tote $1,440
interesting and flamboyant choice. perhaps the snob girls should weigh in on it as well? would be fun to read what all of you thought of it. maybe at the end of each article from the other writers, tina and kelly can give a quick thumbs up or down and why they love or hate the choice?
hideous!
It will look ok maybe on Suri (Cruise),
but no one in their twenties and up would carry this!
Spring has arrived!
This bag is ridiculous–no need to suck up to designers, go ahead and tell the truth—I wouldn’t be caught dead with this bag
Are you guys serious? Every bag that you posted today was featured on Bag Poor a gazillion years ago! Maybe you should have hired someone from their staff?!?
Sorry Jim if we are being a little harsh, but when I was reading the post, I thought you were being sarcastic at first. Seriously, one of Betsy Johnson’s crazy crap bag is better than this for $50.
I agree with Anonymous – this is just ridiculous.
This post is definitely a bit subtle in its sarcasm, but I love it! “It’s the handbag equivalent of carrying around a fresh bouquet of peonies–that never die!”. LOL.. You seem to have this witty style of writing. Looking forward to your future posts, Jim!
“What more could you want to spice up your next trip to Whole Foods?”
And you think he’s serious? Come on, give a little credit to the younger snobs!

I LOVE IT!!!! I think that its ADORABLE!!!! Maybe not the most practical thing to carry, but when has Fashion ever been PRACTICAL!!!!
LOVE IT!!!!!
Agreed. It looks like carrying a bouquet of flowers around :)Given free also would think twice moreover it costs a hefty $1,440!
Man Snob Jim are you really serious about liking this bag?
It is really over the top. I do not ever see myself carrying something like this!
I think he IS being sarcastic…. i love your writing!
WELL HOWDY HOWDY, to the bag i awfully love it for some people like a 4 year ald, but i think if u want to stay young spiritually you should take, good luqk anyhow.
xoxox all over
Of course he’s joking!!!!! :-)))
I only wish I had been given this bag 20 years ago, when I was celebrating my 5th birthday. God I would have loved it! :-)))
Jim, if only the look and quality of this bag were equal to your wonderful writing style. Both this article, and the newer, Donna Karan spot, are written to perfection. That said, neither bag is one that would be carried to Whole Foods, or anywhere else, by me…so sorry. I do enjoy a good read though, and you are indeed a qualified writer. I’m just not as sure if your bag sensibility is on this blog reader’s radar.
sadly I don’t think he is joking.
