Trendsetting fashion tastemaker, Lanvin offers its clientele effortless clothes that inspire at South Coast Plaza.It’s been more than a century since Jeanne Lanvin opened her first boutique on rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris, which provided couture to a wealthy European clientele. In the 1920’s she expanded into home décor, menswear, furs, lingerie and the fragrance Arpège. It remains the oldest continuously operating fashion house. In 2009, the year Lanvin opened its first U.S. boutique, it garnered much press when Michelle Obama wore suede Lanvin sneakers with grosgrain ribbon laces and metallic-pink toe caps at a food bank. When it comes to finding cool things to do in Orange County, shopping at the Obama’s favorite boutiques certainly ranks at the top of our list.
Its new location at South Coast Plaza carries day dresses, separates in silk and jersey, accessories and swimwear.

The jewel-box boutique is anchored by Lanvin’s signature salon setting—with a zebra rug, sleek black sofa and love seat, and mirrored coffee table—as well as gilded mirrors and an art deco chandelier. 3333 Bristol St., Costa Mesa, 714.706.3240. southcoastplaza.com
