All time favourite Longchamp bag?

Easy ... this light gray classic Longchamp bag ... Le Foulonne leather in the LePliage shape. It hasn’t been sold in this leather/design combo in quite a few years. This bag is minimal, elegant, holds its shape and forever looks great though it’s been used a lot and has travelled afar with me. It was my initial bond with LC.
This bag is a beauty, and in durable Foulonne leather, a dream. I still wish more styles are being made in Foulonne leather. Foulonne looks timeless, wears super well and uniquely LC. Hope this style makes a comeback so that more can own this.
Mine is not a bag but rather an SLG that started my love for Foulonne leather. It is a key case in Vermillion. I use it as a card case and as Foulonne leather is very pliable, I was so amazed with how many cards this little case can fit. How it wore was what surprised me. I use it daily for a good number of years before I started rotating my card cases (also from LC) but despite it being in a bag with other stuff, this key case has no worn corners, color still looked vibrant (some reds can look tired over time but not this) and the best thing is; it still looks new!

It’s really pretty....and the color is TDF! I’m late to the LC party and would really love to own one of these.
Wow! I’ve always wanted a leather version of the classic canvas I never near it’s come and gone!
My all time favorite is the original Le Pliage Cuir in the soft Métis (lamb) leather. Regrettably, I only own three in the size small and one in the medium size (black/noir). Here’s a photo of my beloved three. These all have the thinner shoulder strap style (not shown). I never cared for the wider strap styles which felt too bulky and would slide off of me. It’s 99% likely I will never buy the new calf version in anything larger than an XS. What I love so much about these lamb leather bags is the squish against my body.

Yes it is. I purchased the same exact tote in green as well during nordstroms anniversary sale a few years back and love it it’s perfect for travel and I’ve gotten a lot of compliments especially for the color.
Lovely collection you have there, such beautiful colours! Very true that the squish was part of the appeal, like older Bal bags
it's a real pity that Longchamp discontinued the Cuir line. I'd buy the new Xtra hobo immediately, sight unseen, if it were in Métis leather. What's the point of a rigid, structured hobo? 
Yep, this is Cuir Métis leather, and AFAIK, it was a US exclusive. We never had them available here in France. They don't make this style in the new cowhide Xtra line.
