Longchamp

[JudieH]

I also think they are great looking. But how does one remain organized??? Doesn't it drive you crazy? No pockets? Or is it just me?

What do you use to clean it?


I carry my life in that bag.

did you girls know that you can get those holes fixed (the ones at the bottom at the corner? it seems it happens to every single one) for free? just bring it to the store. but all they do is put these wack patches on the inside, so it still looks gross.

when i head to paris i will most definitely buy more. i heard its only $88 USD or less.

I would post pictures of them, however I am off to Paris in a few hours and my camera is tucked away in my bag. Perhaps when I get back!

I love the leather Longchamp bags. They are classic and well-made. I just ordered this one:


My biggest complaint is that their prices have increased a lot over the last couple of years. I wonder if the price of the Euro versus the Dollar has something to do with it.

I LOVE my Longchamps- and have aded to the colection over the years. The one I use the most is a rectangular one that is a bit more structured and has a long strap that goes across your body. Lots of pockets.. I use it when I want to be hands free but have room for my blackberry and essentials. I always get tons of complements on ot. I bought it in France but you cab get it online. I have had it for 8 years ad it is immaculate- never shows wear- and has been all over the world. I dont use them as my every day bags- but if I want to just carry around a few things- they are great. I have carried them in various colors shapes and sizes to theme parks, the beach, shoppiing in NYC, London, etc. They are lightweight, easy to pack and always look incedibly classy. I just bought a Longhamps wallet that I love.

Yes the lack of pockets is a drawback with the Le Pliage (although it has one small one right by the zipper). Nothing looks classier than digging around for your wallet for a half hour, don't you think? A chameleon/purseket thing would be a good investment if one were to carry it as an everyday bag. When I used my Longchamps as purses I was on vacation and I'd long given up attempting to look like a together, in-control person.

I LOVE my backpack. It's so light to start off with.

I was in Sacks a few weeks ago and was surprised to see how many Longchamps leather bags and wallets they carry! Also howmany leather totes they make.

thats liek me when i was HK everyone was using them and i got one, it was a limited edition too... and when i came back to canada, no one knew about it! i was like carrying this strange pink bag haha, but it was okay as long as it was functional right? but not really.... so it sits there at the back of the cloeset somewhere...

Congratulations! I have this bag in black, and it is one my most-used bags. I have treated it very badly, and it is still in top notch condition.

I'm glad to hear it's holding up well. That was a big concern for me with a white bag. I haven't seen it in the larger size IRL yet so I can't wait to see it.

I'm a big fan. I have two and will probably get a third. The first is like a duffle bag, so I use it for travel only. The second is the shopper, I use this when carrying bulky items -- for me it makes a great gym bag or travel carryon. If I am using it as a purse I usually carry a smaller purse inside with wallet and cell, so these are not floating around the bag.

Of course white leather is more delicate and needs to be looked after.

However, I have two other Longchamp bags in white leather, and they seem to be rather stain-resistant. Although I am not sure whether that white Rodeo bag has the same kind of leather.

i <3 my le pliage ....and yes, the handles are leather.

i love my longchamp totes. they are definitely my throw-around bags. someone spilled coffee all over my taupe bag and its fine now! (we wiped off as much as possible) i don't take care of them and throw them around everywhere and they are still in great shape. though i end up tossing everything inside and then have a hard time sifting through to find something. oh well!

Like the OP, I didn't really notice Longchamp bags before, but on a recent trip to NYC I saw them *everywhere* and realized what a great bag it is for toting around stuff. I ended up getting the Le Pliage in the Slate color.

I just did a three week, 3000 mile roadtrip from calif to utah, and the bag looks good as new.

Thank you for this link! I'm going to look into this.
