sorry, this is not accurate. if you read the threads, you see Pliage are usually made in France and China. some Longchamp bags are made in Morocco and Tunisia.

Oh, I was just going by my collection of Le Pliages. All of my limited edition bags are made in France. As are a few of my older ones that I bought in Paris. All the basic color ones that I have bought in the US are made in China.

Ahhh, I just discovered this thread! I was in Paris last September on my honeymoon and stumbled upon this bag at the airport on our way home! So happy w/ it! Really roomy and very sturdy.

And for the person who asked about duty free @ the airport, when I was there, yes it was duty free!

Too bad that there's another girl w/ the EXACT same bag who works in my building. What are the odds (I'm in Toronto, Canada)?!

Does anyone if the Eiffel Tower limited edition still available in Paris right now. I want one if navy blue in short handle; my friend is going there in June and I'm gonna ask her to get one for me.

^ I just returned from Paris and purchased an Eiffel Tower le pliage long handle in navy blue. Galleries Lafayette and the Longchamp boutique on rue St. Honore have these limited edition bags in stock, but only in 2 colors, navy blue and white. Both places have the short handle navy blue Eiffel Tower available.

I flew out of CDG airport terminal 2 and I saw that the Eiffel Tower bag was not available in the duty free area anymore.

Hi zmao, the one I purchased was 78 euros, it is the large size long handled le pliage bag. I was also able to claim detax of 12% back, I purchased more than the minimum of 175 euros at the same store in one day. Tell your friend to pick up something for herself and you both can save together!

Hi Karenbabi,

Where exactly did you get your limited edition bag? Co'z my friend is going this month and I'm gonna ask her to get me the eiffel tower in short handle (navy blue). And I think she's gonna buy at least 3 le pliage bags so you think we're gonna save if she buys them all at the same time.

Did they give you the 12% vat back automatically at the long champ store or at the airport?

Thanks.

Hi k76, I purchased the bag at the Galleries Lafayette department store. I wanted the navy eiffel tower long handle le pliage but unfortunately the St. Honore boutique was sold out that day in that model so I went to Galleries Lafayette. With your friend purchasing at least 3 bags, she can definitely claim vat back! I highly recommend the St. Honore store, a grand boutique with a large and varied selection, worth the visit! :) The Longchamp booth at Galleries Lafayette is really small, but I was picking up some souvenirs there anyway so when I saw the bag in stock I grabbed it.

Each store's % vat back and policies are different and the SA will fill out the paperwork for your friend. She can choose to get the vat back on her credit card or in cash back at the airport the day she departs. I am unsure if the Longchamp on St. Honore will require credit card vat refund only. Some boutiques don't give the cash back option. Galleries Lafayette is 12% vat back and I was able to choose cash back. One word of advice is that if your friend chooses to get cash back at the airport, she should get to the airport early because the line for detax is usually very long. Hope your friend has a great trip to Paris! I got back 1 week ago and I miss it already.

What would you get a black with gold with long handles or a graphite/white with long handles? It's for my sister who is going to need one for september ;). And I want to buy one for her. She loves the eiffel edition because I have a couple ones and I was wondering which one it's more versatile, beautiful in real person... Or maybe a black/white one?:graucho:
