Longchamp Piliage question

cgsprings · Jul 19th, 2007, 01:14 PM

Looking at the websites, it seems that the largest size Piliage only has short handles unless you special order it with shoulder straps directly from it's website in France and have to wait 5 weeks to get it plus major shipping cost. Does anyone know if there is a way to get the largest size with the shoulder length strap without special ordering? Also, is it strong enough to hold a 15" x 16" laptop for a college student? TIA!

Cgsprings- I have no idea. I take it you don't have a strore near by? There's a Longchamp Store in the Short Hills Mall in NJ. That is where I got my black le Pilage bag. Why don't you call them and ask?

Good luck!!

PS- Did you get accepted into the MP? Are you still satisfied with your bags?

I do not know about the handle length, but I have used my Pliages to carry my laptop. It actually works pretty well for that purpose.

Depending on one's clothes and arm size, even the shorter handles can be carried on the shoulder. At least I often carry my Pliages like that.

Thanks. I will check and see if there is one in my area and if not I'll call NJ store.
Accepted into the MP? NOPE....at least not yet. How about you???

:crybaby :

Satisfied with my bags? I think so (this bag isn't for me) but have a new facination with antique jewelry (rings) since seeing a really pretty antique wedding set on the jewelry part of the forum (thread: show rings on your fingers)....like we said: always obsessing on something!! How about you?

I could fit them on my shoulder in the shorter strap but I don't think I could with a coat. Do you have a Nordstrom nearby or a Saks. They also carry Longchamp.

Cgsprings- I haven't gotten accepted into the MP either. I know it can take a few weeks. I was confused as to when I officially hit the 5 month mark; if I don't hear soon, I will apply in another month.

I remember you said you liked antique rings. Enjoy them! I think it makes life a bit more fun and interesting to have things to obsess about

I'm holding strong with not buying any bags BUT my recent obsessions have included Chanel Coco Cabas, among others.

Here's an update: I really didn't feel like the work of trying to chase down the longchamp le pliage in the largest size with the long handles so I broke down and just ordered it from their website. Thanks for all your help! And Judie, good idea. Turned down now, just re-apply next month! We will inundate them with applications!!!! In the meantime, good luck mentally wrestling with Chanel!!! Let us know who wins!!

Hmm.. Does anyone have the Medium sized le pliage with the short handles?

I'm still trying to figure out whether to get the Small or the Medium.. A photo of someone carrying it would be great so I can gauge the size. There isn't a store carrying Longchamp near me.. :(

Photos please? Preferably held at the arms..

Check out magnums.net. They should have both the long and short handles for the le pliage.

I have owned a neumber of these bags and LOVE them but would be concerned about using them for a laptop. There is NO padding you would have to make sure that you have a good sleeve. I hope you like your new bag.

cgsprings · Jul 22nd, 2007, 03:09 PM

Thanks but the bag isn't actually for me but a family member. An update though: I placed the order on Thursday night (website says 5 week waiting period for personalized bags) and Friday morning they sent me an email that it had already been shipped!!! I was shocked!! And also, thanks for the sleeve idea for the laptop. I will be sure to pass it on.

Can anyone show me a pic of the Longchamp Le Pliage Small or Medium short handled tote being held on the arm?

If you are looking for a good sleeve I think Longchamp actually makes one. If not Tumi also has one.
