Dropped by the Longchamp store today to grab a new medium Le Pliage in either the turquoise color or the barbie pink...picked up turquoise since it's a bit more of a greenish Tiffany blue in person than the sky blue that I feared and the sales associate mentioned how brown handled Le Plaiges were going to be phased out in the next few years and to grab whatever colors I was eying while they were still around. I don't know if she was just using this as a scare tactic, but has anyone else heard anything else about this? The brown handled ones are my favorite bag style and I really dislike the tone-on-tone Le Pliage styles.
