Hello, new to this forum and looking to buy my first Longchamp ^^

I recently saw the Eiffel Tower LE and liked it a lot, but is there any other US store that carries it aside from Nordstrom? I just checked their website now and noticed that they also carry Navy/White and Paper/White. I would've loved the navy color, but with shorter handles. :( I wonder if they'll release those again.

Also, this bag is the large one, right?

I saw them at Saks yesterday -- I don't know if they are up on the website.

Hi there! There are several locations in Paris where you can buy Longchamp. Many of the department stores carry them in addition to the stand alone stores. I can't recall exactly how much I paid for each item, but I ended up buying one travel bag and four other totes for approximately 285 euro (with the VAT returned).

If you go to the Longchamp website and select "France" for your location, you should be able to see what the current prices are in Euros. I think they should also have a list of locations in Paris. Even though I attempted french, the associate that helped me spoke great English.

Good luck and have a great time!

^^Is this the same size that the Towson store has? Or is there also a larger version? If so I think I'd prefer an even larger bag.

SuLi - do the short handles still fit over your shoulder, or is it made to be more of a hand held bag? Also how was the selection of this bag when you were in Paris? Did you want the shorter handles/creme color, or was it all that was available? It's a very pretty bag and seems like it would make a great work tote (at least that's what I'm planning on using it for). The black one I like is backordered until 1/9/10.

I believe it is. I think that is as large as Nordstrom's carries. I don't know if this bag comes any larger.

Whatshebuys.com is also selling the Eiffel Tower LE, but as of this posting, they only have the black version with the long handles.

Hi beauxgoris -- it was the Saks in Chevy Chase. I didn't get a really close look, but it definitely looked like the Eiffel Tower print. I feel like next to Nordstrom and the Longchamp store, Saks has the best selection.

The tote that I have is actually my favorite size Longchamp -- I tend to buy it in that style from the actual stores since the department stores never carry it. I find that I can wear it over my shoulder without a coat/jacket. The size is in between the medium and large (which I see everywhere in DC) longer handle version of the Pliage (links below). The Parisian stores has the Eiffle Tower in three sizes (at least that I what I recall seeing) -- the one that I purchased, the larger longer handle size referenced below, and a short handle, open tote version. I hope that helps somewhat.

Got this from Nordstrom.. collected from local post office on X'mas eve.. Kinda disappointed, not with the bag, more with e cs as my PIC (who ordered the same) has requested for gift wrapping.. but the bags came without any gift box and not even tissues to keep the bag tight inside the shipping box!

Anyway.. thank god the bag arrive "safe & sound".

BTW, anyone here uses base shaper? The base kinda sags badly and it makes it look sloppy. But I prefer a more flexible base as I feel a stiff base makes the make looks unnatural...

Been having mixed feelings about getting this bag, as I think I may be too small to pull off the large bag look. :(

Would this bag look too big on a 5'2" girl?

Very nice-looking bag, @juzluvpink :) Hope you could post a pic of you carrying it :P

I am 5'1" & own 2 large Le Pilage bags. They're not overwhelming at all.

Does anyone know where to get the paper version with the black outline on it? Like I mentioned before, I don't care for the paper version with the white outline, which is the one Nordstrom is selling. You can hardly see the design on that one...

Hey there,

Paris would be the heaven for buying Longchamp!!!
I was in Paris around October this year, bought this Eiffel Tower Longchamp bag for 78 Euro, also bought a Le Pliage travel bag in Purple(extra large size) for 78Euro. BARGAIN!!!:yahoo:
I think you can get the VAT return if you spend more than 120Euro, could not remember the exact minimum amount required.

Gallerie Lafayette carries Longchamp brand, but I recommend the Flagship store as there will be heaps of different styles and colors. And there is one Longchamp Flagship store on Champ Elysee.

Hope this helps! :D
