Longchamp

The Pliage is great for travel and its low maintenance ( provided you get a dark color).

The LP's are great for work, uni, because they're quite durable and very low maintenance.

I love Longchamp bags, they make a silver tote that I would love to buy if I could find one...

A lot of woman in NYC carry them. I've been considering getting a couple, but I'm also a little baffled as to how they would fit into my bag wardrobe. Maybe as wet day bags.

I just got back from a trip and I carried a Longchamp Les Pliages or Les Planetes bag every day. Great for the airplane, great for traipsing around, great in the rain. If you have to carry around a nylon bag, might as well be one that's slightly chic.

I got a black zippered tote this past winter and used it during the rainy San Francisco days that we had. It was perfect as a water resistant tote. Obviously it's not the most beautiful thing but as far as utility goes you can't beat it.

I can't believe mine are still alive with the amount of rough and tough and weight I put inside! It's my signature "I don't care about it" bag

What kind of model it was?

I personally own ten Longchamp bags. 7 of them are 100% leather, except for the interior lining. 3 of them are Pliages, which are made of nylon canvas and have leather handles.

To be frank, my Longchamps have the best price-quality ratio, compared to all other bags I own.

I was really not liking longchamp bags because everyone at my university had them but I'm thinking with the way I go through totes for school maybe I should pick one up for when I begin law school in the fall...

The only concern I had was the corners wear out. So, I stitched it from the inside and it looked brand new again. I always bring a couple when travelling.

If you bring your bag or mail it to a Longchamp boutique they will repair the corners for free!

Actually the straps of the Le Pliage bags are leather. It is embossed to get the pattern and logo on it, but their handles are 100% leather.

thanks for the info.

The Pliage bags don't do a whole lot for me BUT I do like their all leather bags. Great bags that are sturdy & relatively cheap!

I love my 6 Longchamp bags because they are so durable and handy. I always have one folded with me if i need an extra bag to carry all my stuff in. My favourite is a black leather handheld bag, which can fit a lot inspite of its small size.

What I have a hard time dealing with is the bottomless pit in the bags. Do any of the nylon styles have pockets inside? How do you guys keep yourselves organized?
