I've seen them around for the last 2 years or so and it does get boring looking at it, especially when I originally thought it was the ugliest bag I've ever seen. I grew to like it and want one now because I can tell it's extremely durable which is what I need, although sometimes I do still think its ugly/looks cheap when its empty and saggy.
I agree though, it is becoming a classic.


Funny you say that because when I first saw it, it was sitting open on a flat surface and I couldn't tell how saggy it was. I was a little disappointed the first time I saw it hanging off someone's shoulder, but in the end the durability factor won me over, too.

I do like the way it looks better when it's full of stuff and not so saggy, but in the end I really do also like it's simplicity, that it's not a "look at me" bag. Some days I just don't feel like dealing with or thinking about the bag hype.

Now that I think about it, I'm wondering if maybe it was there all around me and I just never noticed it...

The first time I noticed it, unfortunately, was a bad fake. It wasn't even a direct copy of "le pliage". It was just a folding nylon bag. Then I started noticing more of them that were better made, and thankfully these ones were real.

I actually bought my first le pliage today in camel. I was looking for something bolder as opposed to the blacks, navys, browns everyone grabs for convenience. Was stuck between camel and taupe, and I figured camel stands out more and more "fun" in a way, plus I haven't seen anyone actually carry it yet. So now I'm at home thinking, maybe I should've got the taupe...

IF ANYONE HAS PICS OF THE CAMEL, PLEASE DO SHARE :D We can be bag buddies :P
 
I bought my first Le Pliage today, nice dark orange that I've been eye-balling and the one in python print...both on sale & small, i think but I will check the sizes online.

I'd love other colours and I've been wanting one for quite some time but just not willing to pay full price. I see them everywhere downtown and I can see how they are so practical and lightweight.
 
Just got a small Le Planetes. 30% off on Overstock. My first and I love it. Simple design and so lightweight (esp. compared to my Florentines).

Can you post a link? I'm trying to find Longchamp on overstock.com with no luck - thanks!


As for me, I have 3 - a tote large and medium le pliage and a short handle le pliage. Just can't get enough!
 
I have a ton of Le Pliage:

* large shopper in ocean blue
* large shopper in chocolate
* extra large custom bag - cobalt with light blue stripes, long handles
* large custom shopper - bilberry/purple with chocolate stripes, long handles
* flap messenger bag, bilberry
* bilberry "briefcase"
* small custom handbag, blue with bilberry stripes
* lots of the Le Pliage nylon cosmetics bags and coin purses in various shapes and sizes.

and I have a Le Pliage Cuir that is my favorite of all of them. I got the Medium with the long detachable strap in red.
 
Just 1 black nylon shoulder bag w/ eiffel tower print on it :) considering about getting the cuir in medium turquoise! Also, the black makeup bag in nylon. Poor thing is sooo beat up now.

Was in germany for oktoberfest in 2010 and all the girls were carrying longchamp bags. I think I fell in love then :) The only thing similar I had seen before were the harve chapelier bags.
 
5 :) 3 Classic la pliage red, black and navy (navy is from a extraordinaire collection there is a tree on it and colorful birds) and a large pink to use for short vacations and a crossbody khaki
