Pre-Owned Lanvin — Ready-to-Wear, Leather Goods & Accessories | Old Fashioned Club

Buying pre-owned Lanvin means owning a piece of the oldest French couture house still in operation today. At Old Fashioned Club, a Parisian luxury resale boutique founded in 2017, we bring together the house's ready-to-wear, leather goods and accessories — each item authenticated by our experts and supplied with a certificate of authenticity. Explore a curated edit where Lanvin's quiet elegance finds a second life, at a fair price.

The Heritage of a House Founded in 1889

Lanvin was founded in 1889 by Jeanne Lanvin, who began as a milliner before becoming one of the defining couturières of her era. That early date makes Lanvin the oldest French couture house still active today — a rare lineage in the world of luxury. The house emblem, showing two figures — a mother and her daughter — facing one another, was inspired by a photograph of Jeanne and her daughter Marguerite taken at a 1907 costume ball, and illustrated by the artist Paul Iribe. That tender image captures the spirit of the house: transmission, refinement and craftsmanship.

Lanvin's Iconic Pieces and Lines

Lanvin's DNA is instantly recognisable in its celebrated Lanvin Blue, a deep shade inspired by the frescoes of Fra Angelico and born in the house's own dye workshops. The evening gowns of the 1920s and 1930s, elevated by exceptional embroidery, remain a pinnacle of couture artistry. The house also left its mark through costume jewellery, ballet flats steeped in Parisian elegance and, more recently, the Happy bag, whose oversized signature bow embodies a charming, feminine appeal. Layered onto this legacy is the influence of Alber Elbaz, creative director from 2001 to 2015, who reinvented the Lanvin silhouette around draping and the cocktail dress.

What You'll Find at Old Fashioned Club

Our pre-owned Lanvin edit spans the full breadth of the house. In ready-to-wear, you'll discover evening gowns, draped silhouettes and precisely cut tailoring. The leather goods bring together handbags and signature models such as the Happy, best explored alongside our selection of pre-owned luxury bags. Accessories — ballet flats, jewellery and belts — round out the offering. Every piece is chosen for its quality, integrity and ability to stand the test of time.

Why Buy Lanvin Pre-Owned

Choosing second-hand combines sustainable fashion with a fair price. A Lanvin dress or bag already crafted and already loved retains all of its value and elegance, while sparing the production of a brand-new item. The resale market also opens access to archival models, Elbaz-era silhouettes and editions no longer available in store. Buying pre-owned Lanvin is an aesthetic, responsible and heritage-minded choice all at once.

Authentication Tips

Authenticating a Lanvin piece relies on several markers: the quality of the materials, the finesse of the finishing, the consistency of the stitching, and the labels and signature typography. The coherence of the mother-and-child logo, the hardware and the linings all offer valuable clues. Because these checks demand an expert eye, every piece sold at Old Fashioned Club is inspected by our specialists and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity — so you can buy with complete peace of mind.
