Longchamp le pliage owners, need opinions

solitude · Apr 10th, 2008, 03:54 PM

I just purchased the chocolate and red medium nylon totes and I am loving them! I am so into nylon bags lately since theyre waterproof and lightweight. They dont look glam and all that but the price is well worth it for an everyday bag. I didnt really like the look of the black one though

. The brown handles with black nylon seems off. If I do get it, I'ld probably get large size to use only as a travelling and overnight bag. Any opinions on the black? I love black bags but iffy about this one. Is it just me or does the color combo look drab?

i don't mind the black one... i actually think the handheld tote is quite cute. i prefer les pliages in bright colors though...

I do own one and i think it's very practical for an everyday use...
I don't mind the black too!

I have a black one but you can always get a black one with black handles.

I agree...I believe the black on black combo is a slightly different nylon, so it is more expensive.

I've had my black/brown and tan/brown medium totes since 2001, and both have held up really, really well. The color combination does not bother me either. I think it makes it a little more versatile.

I saw a Herve Chapalier nylon tote today at TJ MAXX. It was like the Pliage and also made in Paris-it was on sale for less than $60. It was burgundy...

I think the regular black ones are nice enough but indeed, the ones with black handles are even nicer.

I have the large black/brown bag and primarily use it as a travel bag or tote for hauling kid stuff, etc.

I got the black with brown handles!!! Its not as drab as I thought LOL Kinda loving it actually

. Thanks for enabling me everyone!

Hmmm. I am not too fond of black and brown together. Both my Longchamps are colorful - a minty green and a red one.

has anyone "built your own" le pliage on their site? i've tried designing one but am never totally happy with my color choices.

nico · Apr 12th, 2008, 08:02 PM

Black/brown is actually the only color I like. heh

Good for you Solitude - the black le pliage is so versatile. PS. If you not too sure about chicness, try tying a twilly on the handles - it can give it that extra lift, you know?

I love the navy blue with brown handles!
