Help, please! Does anyone know what the main difference between the "Le Pliage Handheld" and the "Le Pliage Medium" is? (Both are short handle) I mean, it's just a matter of inches but why would they make a bag with such similiar measurements? Is the "handheld" considered a "large" size since it's wider? Did they make these two similar sizes, but one is bigger horizontally (wider) vs. vertically (taller)? And what's up with the difference in strap drop? So odd. Does anyone have a preference for one vs. the other?

"Handheld": 18"L x 10"H x 7.5"W; 4" strap drop

"Medium" : 17 3/4"W X 13 3/4"H X 9"D, 3 1/2" strap drop

I'm thinking of buying one! Do you know where the best place to buy it is? I'm taking a trip to London, so I have the option to buy it in Geneva airport, Bristol airport, Heathrow airport, or Harrods in London. From the pictures, I'm liking the Duck Blue, but who knows what I'll think when I see them for real!

Also, there is a rumour of an outlet in Geneva? Does anyone know anything about this?
 
My litte collection is growing ...and im lovin it - most of them found secondhand
Le Pliage large 1 yellow and 1 black, medium short handle in light blue, mini with long handle in pink. I also have a few older leather one, a tan long handle tote bag and a a black roseau bag.
 
I own two Le Pliage tote bags--one medium in dusty rose and one large in navy. Each has a long handle. I find that I use the navy one more often because it's a low-maintenance type of bag and suitable to my laziness! Stains and dirt from sitting on the floor or the elements aren't as noticeable on the navy as much as they are on the dusty rose. Plus, I can fit more things in the larger tote.
 
*squee!!!!!* just ordered my first longchamp bag. the standard medium-sized le pliage, and the colour is graphite. i'm so happy because i got it at a duty free shop, which meant that I paid around $75 :D if i like this one, I want the beige one next!
 
I went to longchamp today and I felt in love again lol
I got lost somehow couldn't decide on le pliage color that I wanted! ! I didn't buy and decided to go thru the web again to choose lol
I loved the blue one (duke) but I felt like a navy blue or brown! !! Akhhhhh cant decide! !
I already own a small burgundy and a medium black :)
 
I have only two Longchamp bags, and neither of them is a le pilage. One is a clutch bag, and the other is a satchel. I'm also thinking of buying a longchamp travel bag lately, which would probably not be a le pilage either.... :P
