Sounds great! Is it smooth leather? I kind of wanted to get a colorblock one in pebbled leather, to try something new
Oooh, haven't seen the colorblock one, only solids. Sounds cool though! Yes, smooth leather. Hope it won't scratch easily.
Yea the le pliage . It's old trusty. The corners are wearing a bit after 2-3 years (I have used other bags in this time not just that bag).
I think it's a staple and you can always get another higher end work bag so you have at least two.
I also have the neverfull, chanel gst, a denim gucci tote, and random leather coach totes that I alternate to work.
The McQueen legend bag is very beautiful but I am not sure if it's heavy. Looks heavy.
You can get the corners fixed. Longchamp does this free of charge once during a bag's life. Just contact your nearest LC reseller.
I agree totally on the LP being a staple. My bag closet would feel empty without the stash of Pliages in the corner. It's such a versatile and super durable style.
I've seen teens carry it as well as ladies with a Birkin on the other arm. Some even use it as a bag lifesaver - just carry the LP folded in your high end bag and in case of rain, mud, slush, slip your expensive bag in the Le Pliage which will survive just about any force of nature. It'll do all this and more with grace and style.

Great tip @Amazona!
Nice variety of totes you have there @bagarella. Honestly, even with all the high-end designers, the quality of Coach leather and craftsmanship can't be beat (unless it's changed since I last bought one, which was probably a decade ago).
I'm hoping the Alexander McQueen tote isn't heavy. I'll post an update after I receive it and give it a spin!
Received my package today! Bought the Alexander McQueen at a HUGE discount, but it shows in the state of quality I received it (wrinkled, crumpled leather; bent handles; oxidized metal accents). I'm thinking it's due to the lack of care in packaging. Not sure if I should keep it or not (I started another thread to delve into this deeper). The Gucci on the other hand, was in perfect condition and actually much more attractive in person than I expected. It came with an authenticity card; the Alexander McQueen, however, did not. Here are the pics:

Thanks @lovingmybags. I really did have higher hopes for it, and now debating whether to return it and buy a classic LV Eva, or hold onto it for the steal I got. Hope yours will be in better shape! Please post pics when you receive it!
How much did you get yours for, if you don't mind my asking? It's important to decide if that's still a good chunk of money towards the next bag...I can't wait to receive the Legend, so I can check the condition from top to bottom! Hoping it'll be a good one. Will definitely post pics when I get it!
I don't have either but I just purchased a LV totally MM. I like how lightweight and large it is. I like to have a zipper plus interior pockets so I went with that over the Neverfull. I need something that fits quite a bit-I have two kids so it's nice to have something larger. My other bags I love but they aren't ready to haul a bunch of stuff around (i.e., peekaboo, celine edge). I could put my laptop in it if I wanted to as well. goodluck with your choice!
