When I was looking to buy a smaller Le Pliage, I googled a lot to figure out if I wanted the small or medium. I think a thread with pictures of different sizes with contents would be a great one stop resource.

Sizing of Le Pliage can be confusing. There's the old sizing (large is bigger than new large), which you'll mainly find on ebay now. Then there's the custom made sizing (differently colored stripe). There's also the Planetes totes.

Keep in mind, I suspect some don't differentiate between the medium and the small, they call them both small.

Anyway, I'll post what I've found so far, and hope more people can post pictures of their totes with contents, and what size it is and what kind of sizing scheme it's from.

I'll contribute. This is my medium Le Pliage in Navy with long handles, bought recently at an airport in Europe. I've put a few items in it with fairly known dimensions. A long wallet, a Polaroid sunglasses case, a Clarins Vanity case and a 10 inch netbook. There's more room, as you can see.

This is the smallest size le pliage with long handles. The long champ shop calls this small, some call this medium. Against A4 size regular document paper and ipad2. The paper and ipad2 is placed against the start of the base of the bag

With the small one, did you pull out the bottom or fold it in like you did with the medium?

Another pic of the Longchamp LM small "handbag," 8-1/4" x 8-1/4" x 5" dimensions per the website. It fits my necessities. Water bottle could stand up, but I have a lot of things in the bottom.

My iPad Gen 3 will not fit.

Also, that little rolled up shopping bag, I picked up at TJ Maxx. I think it came 2 for $6 or something. Super-useful when shopping and you don't want to carry the plastic bag from the store. I believe the brand is called inSAK. I'm sure Chico bags and other brands make the same sort of thing; they're so handy!

I think small short handle is smaller than small long handle. There are probably some pics that shows all le pliage size lay flat against each other

When I was dithering between small and medium, I couldn't find any small with long handles for sale, except for custom made and possibly fakes, so that made the choice easier for me. Are there any places that sell small, long handle currently? Or is yours part of the older size lineup that got discontinued?

I'm wondering if there is a difference between one being a "handbag," and one being a "tote," as far as sizing. Or maybe it's the time of manufacture and variances. It would be easier if they were more uniform in sizing, but maybe there are reasons/changes/etc.
