Inspired by the concept of Chihuo, meaning a foodie in Chinese, the collaboration is tied with the Chinese zodiac sign of 2020: the rat. The design of the collection features a bright yellow cheese pattern, which is a symbol of gourmet and serves as a hint of the year of the rat.

The collection includes seven handbags of different sizes and one T-shirt. The design of the supermini Le Pliage bag, a Longchamp classic, resembles a tiny mouse, as the long zipper acts like a tail. The rest of the bags comes with a hidden cheese flap inside the bag, echoing the idea of a foodie.

So adorable! The flap cover has one side chewed off, by the rat.

Ohh, I like the slightly larger bag on the left, it seems to hold its shape nicely.

Am I the only one who is disturbed by the sight of the partially missing flap?

You will get round to it. The edges are well stitched thus I see it as part of the design. True rat nibbling in action.

Thank you for posting, Cosmo. I've put my name down for the small cuir with the nibbled flap. My SA says she will try her best as she is unsure how many pieces were ordered. In short, no guarantee.

Nope. Although I can appreciate the artistic license, the unevenness of the flap kicks my OCD into overdrive.

There is a slab of cheese hidden underneath the flap. So cute, isn't it?

After 3 weeks of knowing about the chewed flap, I have come around to liking it I have reserved one (same size as the Piggy Cuir) in my local boutique. Looking forward to 20 December
