2011, the year to downsize

i've been a huge fans of huge bags for years but on this past 2 years i begin to get tired of carrying big bags, now my favourites are medium size bags. small bags? hmmm they are cute to me but honestly i don't think it fits my needs.

from 4950 euros Chanel to 23 euros topshop, are you ready to downsize the size of your bags? or downsize the budget for your bags?

Subject : Lanvin Happy Sac - Stamped

Hi,

I have been browsing at this bag for a couple of months and is now thinking of buying it.
To my sadness I can't find it neither on mytheresa or brownsfashion.
I live in Sweden (Europe), so I guess that the closest place would be London or Paris.
Do you know any boutique that you can recommend in London or Paris?
I would never forgave myself if this bag turns out to be sold out every where :-(

Thanks in advanced!

Best Regards
Lan
