They come in medium short handle, large long handle and the large travel bag. All are pretty big
I bought this in early September during my layover in Paris at CDG. Absolutely love this bag. I've had many layovers in this airport and I always say I'm going to get this bag but then I manage to find another limited edition item to buy instead! I'm glad I waited because I adore it in this color. Hopefully one day I will actually visit Paris beyond the airport to get one in the city!
Would you suggest getting it at the Galleries Lafayette boutique? What is the difference? My apologies on the many questions just want to get some clarity before I go. Thank you!!!
If you buy it at the duty-free, you will not pay the sales tax. If you can get the phone number there and call to make sure they have enough in stock, that would help! When I got to the airport, there were only two long handled bags left. They had more short- handle bags.
The long handle in a dark classic color like navy sell out near the end of the season. If you go during those times, you should just buy at the first place u see them. If you see them.
When you buy a single LE LC bag at the department stores, that purchase alone will not qualify you for a VAT refund, so you'll need to make another purchase in that same store to qualify for the minimum. I get around this by buying other LC LEs as gifts, haha. I always recommend buying them in department stores or the LC Paris boutiques because you will have a better selection, as opposed to gambling on what the airports have in stock.
Thanks for the insight ladies!! I'm going in early May so hopefully I'm lucky. Any recommendations on scarves?
Second the above - Hermes. I got a Longchamp scarf a couple of years ago - I really liked the print and it enabled me to get a VAT refund. I collect Hermes scarves and to be honest, have not worn the Longchamp yet.
You can get a sense of what Longchamp has by looking at their website. Their scarves are not as thick silk as Hermes, but they are cute - and less expensive!
Have fun in Paris! I went a few weeks ago and had to buy an expandable Longchamp tote so I could get my shopping purchases home. Still not sure how that happened!

Thanks!!!! That's good to know because I don't really want to spend $300 on a scarf lol
Bumping this question up. I'm curious, too. I am eyeing either the medium or the large with the long handles. How much are they?
