There is no need to confess to owning it, you are unique. You can tell at a glance. The LANCEL brand was born in early 1876, when its founder Alphonse Lancel opened the first smoking set store named LANCEL in Paris. The design of the smoking set there Very elegant and fashionable style, many gentlemen and celebrities flock to it. It is said that the literary giants of the Dumas family all wrote furiously while holding LANCEL pipes in their mouths. While puffing away smoke from LANCEL smoking utensils, they created bizarre stories full of ups and downs and suspense. The end of the 19th century was an important period for LANCEL to enter new fields and create new worlds. Angele, the wife of Alphonse Lancel, took over LANCEL. Angele is a typical example of a strong woman. She often attends various company meetings wearing men's clothes and holding a cigarette holder, giving people the impression of being a woman. Her image was imitated by many women at that time and became a fashionable scene at that time.

LANCEL official website: www.lancel.com Personally, I think Lancel is a good brand, not a first-tier brand, so second-tier brands don’t count. Women's bags are more famous than men's bags, but this brand is neither good nor bad. I can't say it's good or bad. It's an embarrassing position. In terms of appearance and reputation, there are many brands that are better than it. But the price of Lanzi is relatively easy to accept, the design is quite satisfactory, and it is suitable for people over 25 years old. Moreover, the important thing is that there are relatively few imitations of it, so it will not be too embarrassing to use it, unlike LV, GUCCI, etc., where imitations are flying everywhere and have become street products.
