Thanks for the information. I hope it's the same leather since I know some leathers pick up stains really easily.

I have four Longchamp bags and love them. One of the large Planetes totes, one small Pliage handbag, a leather hobo, and one of their original classic large bucket bags (with the silver bamboo toggle). I think they tend to have classic styles.

The Planetes bags are a little more sturdy than the Pliage (and a little more modern).

i won't use it as a tote for shopping or resturant !
But its great ! for travel ~
I'm getting the large size but still not sure of the color mmmmmm

hahah. that's not as bad as when i spilled ketchup all over the inside of my le pliage and notes/planner/etc. (bad karma, i stole a bottle of ketchup from the dining hall back at college a while ago)

anyway, some light rinsing and scrubbing later, it was good as new =)
i treat mine like crap too and its still functioning

I just bought the black pliage and i love it! Is it very durable to hold a laptop on a daily basis?

At first I didn't think I would like the black and the brown on the handles together but when I saw it in person I thought it looked really nice and the handles dress it up.

I have a francesco basia bag and I love it! It is a medium-large bag with nice detail and was $300 but I think it looks like it would cost a lot more because the leather quality and the detail of the purse is so good.

Can anyone tell me the price of a Longchamp Le Pliage medium sized bag with short handles? I'm going to get my friend to get it for me in London.. what's the price going to be like for the medium?

And what are the best colours to get? I kind of like taupe... and chocolate..
Help?

Yes, the large tote is sturdy enough to hold a large [Dell] laptop (so far).

Longchamp is really popular here in Germany. I use my Pliage for university. I feel overdressed with high-end bags at the campus. I think Longchamp is perfect for studying!

I even put mine in the washing maschine. No problem for the Pliage. Looks like new afterwards.

I'm in Spain right now and the le pliage bags are really cheaper here! I paid 72 Euros (about $105.00) for my med black pliage with long handles... normally they retail for $145!
If you're in Europe for vaca... its worth checking it out!

I have 5 short handle medium le pliage, 1 long handle medium la planetes and a short handle limited edition "AFRICA" le pliage... they have been with me to the Basque Regions of Spain, South of France, Madrid, Barcelona, South of Spain, Paris, Nice, Avignon, Prague, Austria, Portugal, the US (NYC, LA, SF), Beijing, and ra few weeks ago, all around Turkey and to Dubai... they have been the PERFECT traveling tote--- it fits all the essentials including a huge shawl. I was never a fan until I realized the difference between carrying the LONGCHAMP and my Feragamo or YSL or other leather bags for that matter (maybe with the exception of the RH Balenciaga). It's a throw around bag that you don't have to worry about plus it weighs like a feather! LOVE IT!

I use it with an easy to pull-out bag organizer, I can transfer ALL my things in one go if need be--- the organizer fits my other bags as well :-)

I have two Le Pliages and one Planete, and all have leather handles. I absolutely love them! Maybe the ones with the pleather were fakes?
