Founded in Paris in 1889, Lanvin is the oldest French fashion house still in operation. Its heritage is reflected in a timeless style and exceptional craftsmanship passed down for more than a century. It was Jeanne Lanvin’s love for her daughter Marguerite that gave birth to the children’s line: she envisioned a luxurious wardrobe for her, worthy of any little girl’s dreams. Marguerite’s refinement soon caught the attention of her friends’ mothers, who became the first customers. In 1908, Jeanne Lanvin opened the very first children’s department in a couture house—a pioneering vision that remains relevant today.
The Lanvin children's collection is an exceptional wardrobe, with ceremonial and more everyday pieces directly inspired by the adult collection
