Reese Witherspoon is Lanvin Happy

I found this picture of Reese Witherspoon with then boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal and thought how interesting it was to see a multicolored woven bag released seasons ago. Such a piece would have been a perfect accessory this spring.

I guess this just shows how trends come and go, and then come back again. The one on Reese is a Lanvin Happy Woven Bag by the way.

I found another woven Lanvin while doing my search – the Lanvin Happy Satin Woven Purse. Here’s a look:

I’m sure these two Lanvin purses cost a fortune. In fact, the satin purse alone went for over US$2000++ when it was released.

Now if you want something similar but definitey less costly, why not go for a brand like Harveys Seatbelt Bag instead? I found these cute options:

All items from Harveys Seatbelt Bag are made of woven seatbelts


Here’s something different to talk about: The Seatbelt Bag from Harveys.

Harveys is an interesting brand that offers us ladies, a different take on the woven handbag. The brand uses real seatbelts (yes, you heard it right, seatbelts!) to produce countless styles of bags.

Obviously, this is done by interweaving the seatbelt strips together to create the desired bag shape. The outcome is a product that is fun, interesting, functional, fashionable, and sturdy enough to last a whole lifetime.

One piece that I particularly want to have is the Harveys Carriage Large Satchel Merlot. Although simple in shape, the bag looks rather classy.

Aside from the obvious ‘woven seatbelt material’ selling point, the gold hardware used looks premium, providing an attractive contrast to the deep and rich Merlot color, and adding just a hint of opulence to the bag without looking ostentatious. The overall effect? Classic with a personality.
