Lancôme unveils makeup pouches

Couture bags designers Paris - Arab Today Accustomed to working with some of the most prestigious names in fashion (such as Alber Elbaz and Jason Wu), Lancôme is renewing the experience by teaming with three world-renowned Parisian designers: Yiqing Yin, Alexandre Vauthier and Jacquemus. Each of the three couturiers has created a limited edition Lancôme makeup kit that can easily double as an evening bag. Lancôme gave carte blanche to the three designers, who were tasked with creating a makeup bag that could hold three of the brand's star products: a tube of L'Absolu Rouge lipstick, a tube of Hypnôse Star mascara and the Hypnôse eyeshadow palette. The French luxury brand had only one additional requirement: the signature Lancôme rose logo had to be visible somewhere on each of these limited edition couture makeup bags. Alexandre Vauthier has presented a rectangular clutch in black silk satin with a metallic clasp and a gold-colored chain, allowing it to be worn on the shoulder or in the hand. Jacquemus went for a more girly style, creating a cylindrical pouch in pastel pink waterproofed cotton. The model can be carried or worn around the waist on its white strap. Yiqing Yin, meanwhile, designed a retro gem-shaped clutch in silk crepe with pale gold lamé. The bag has a removable chain with a pale gold finish. These three makeup bags will be available from June 16. Price: €350 (around $485) for the Jacquemus bag and €780 (around $1080) for the other two, including the Lancôme products. Source: Relaxnews
