I only got it in paper in size M. Navy was sold out everywhere in my region.:crybaby: I asked if they will get some more but they won't. But I think they will release them again in other colours perhaps. I hope so:graucho:

Am I the only one who thinks this is a little tacky? I saw it in Paris, I didn't even think of buying it. I have the plain one in black and brown. I use it for a carry on.

I do. I mean, come on guys... the Eiffel Tower? :sweatdrop:

I have a plain one too and it looks much more chic. Please don't hurt me, but I think the Eiffel Tower design makes it look like a Wal-mart bag. But to each their own!

Well, I believe it was designed in France to commemorate the anniversary of the Tower, so it makes sense to me why the graphic is designed that way. I think it has a sense of chic whimsy. Yes, to each her own... That's why the handbag market is so big!

I actually think the opposite. The plain Longchamp le Pilage bags are so booooooring - in fact so many women have them that they seemed kind of plebeian to me. To me the plain bag looks like something you could buy at Target for a beach bag. The eiffel tower bag was the first one that caught my eye and seemed a bit more interesting than the plain bags.

Got my two Eiffel Tower bags several days ago (my first Longchamps :D): navy tote with long handles and black duffel with short handles. I haven't really gotten a chance to use them yet, but I already adore both! Both are super light and the tote seemed comfortable to carry. I loaded it up with a ton of stuff and carried it around my house for a bit, and I had no problems with the handles slipping off or digging into my shoulder.

Personally, I love the Eiffel Tower graphics! I've been wanting a Le Pliage but I always thought the plain ones were kind of....well, plain. I'm with beauxgoris in that the Eiffel Tower bags were the first ones that really caught my eye and made me take the plunge. I'm already considering special ordering another one!

Well, here are my two bags. Sorry for the terrible picture. My husband and I leave tomorrow for our cruise and I was in a rush. But, guess which bags I'll be using for our trip? :graucho::nuts:

FYI, the Longchamp boutique in Las Vegas Forum Shops at Caesars has both the navy and the buff Eiffel Tower bags in stock, all sizes and handle lengths. There were not many navy left. I got mine yesterday for Mother's Day (yay for my husband!) and was assisted by an awesome SA named Anissa. (702) 837-5780

Hope that helps someone! :D

i agree that they are a bit dull looking -- and every woman in manhattan carries one -- but once you try longchamp you never go back. or i didn't anyway. the le plisage bags are crazy light and SUPER strong! you could carry a canon ball around in these things! so i'm getting used to what i call the 'bellybutton' (that snap nobody seems to use) because the bag is so darn FUNCTIONAL! I am also appreciating their 'plainess' actually because before i was carrying all these crazy prints by lesportsac and i realize now it makes me look very unput together. The longchamp bag doesn't have wow factor but it has clean, simple lines -- good form, fantastic function. PS. at first i hated the eiffel tower sideways print... but now i wish i had one ;) i just invested today in their 'weekender/carryon' and i am STOKED for that!

^I totally agree.

I first saw someone with the Eiffel Tower tote bag and just fell it love with it. It was so different. Out of all the bags I have, this one probably gets the most compliments.

I wasn't sure what I thought when I first got mine. Initially I was underwhelmed. These are truly bags you have to USE to appreciate.

I've only switched bags once since I got it. It fits work files, is light, waterproof, seems to go with EVERYTHING. I was a daily purse switcher before. I am seriously thinking of unloading a lot more of my expensive bags because I am so enamored with this now.
