Sub-brands

  • LANVIN SPORT 1998

    A line developed in Japan as a golfwear collection derived from a secondary line of LANVIN. Operated by Descente Japan, it is designed to optimize products ranging from apparel to accessories for sports use while incorporating fashion originating in Paris, and serves to extend the maison into the sports and golf fields.

  • LANVIN COLLECTION 2003

    A derivative line developed for the Japanese market and clearly positioned as a second line of LANVIN. It carries forward the image of the main line while retaining its emphasis on materials and cutting, and organizes its product range for Japan, serving as an intermediate option between the main collection in its home country and LANVIN en Bleu. As part of its domestic licensed rollout, it has a role in balancing authenticity and practicality.

  • LANVIN en Bleu 2004

    Launched in 2004 as a derivative line planned for the Japanese market, while drawing on the aesthetic of LANVIN’s collections in its home market. Aimed at younger, trend-conscious customers, it features a more casual selection of items than the main line, which centers on tailored pieces, and serves as an entry point to the brand. It broadens the lineup alongside LANVIN COLLECTION, which is offered in Japan and leans more classic.

  • LANVIN BLANC 2022

    A performance golfwear line for the Korean market, launched in 2022 through a partnership between Handsome and LANVIN. It retains design elements informed by LANVIN’s heritage while offering products designed around functional materials and the movements involved in swinging, with people in their 20s and 30s as its primary target. It is a region-specific line serving the golf category in a market separate from LANVIN SPORT (Japan).
