HI is there anyone out there that could help me out on this I bought my LC from an online store and after 6 months i began to see bubbles on my LC is this possible for a original LC - please advise and if this is possible will i be able to get a replacement/
Can someone help me?
I've owned a Longchamp Le Pliage large tote for only about a month now. But just yesterday, I handed my bag over to my father so he could put it away in his car. BIG MISTAKE. He threw it in the trunk. Inside his trunk, he has sharp objects that could potentially stab my bag. He decides to place my bag on the very side of the trunk, in between two sharp objects. And I was right, I got my bag back with a tiny cut on the front. The cut goes through and into the inside of the bag. I am VERY upset about this. I'm scared that this small cut will get bigger as I continue to wear my bag on a daily basis. Is there a way I can repair the cut? The slit bothers me so much.

A professional company could put a sub-patch below the cut and then glue in place to seal the cut. They then use fillers and either a pigment or a dye to touch in the colour. depending on the skill of the repair tech you will get an almost invisible repair. It will end up looking like a natural scar in the leather.
Hi emilyw829, I think it's possible to possible to repair the cut to make the fabric stronger. A repair shop could put a small piece of fabric through the cut and sew it as a reinforcement for the cut. With matching thread and small stitches it could look good.
Good luck.

Leather Therapy Leather Laundry Solution... Seriously. I tried it on two old WHITE Coach purses as testers and it is awesome so I used it on my Longchamp. It took a huge ink blot out of the nylon of my Le Pliage and didn't mess up the leather handles.
I use it all the time for my sheepskin saddle pads and decided to try it for non-equestrian leather and it worked equally well.

(I have the limited edition "Made by Longchamp" tote). It was purchased from im in malaysia. i need some help on longchamp Planetes bag. why after clean the stain the bag stil have watermark? can any one help me?
I know this is old, but I took in my red one, that I bought 6+ years ago while on a cruise, to Nordstrom. It had holes in the corner, They sent it away and I got it back about 3 weeks later. No charge at all. The corners look great and you wouldn't even know it had been repaired. So, if you have a Nordstrom near by, bring your bag in.
I washed my LH Graphite shopper in the washing machine last week and regret it now. I only did a 15 minute quick wash.
The canvas is fine but the handles are peeling, it's a clear substance that resembles a peel off face mask. It's weird because parts of the handles are smooth now and it's the triangular pattern in the leather that is peeling off.
In case you wondering, I know my bag is 100% authentic as I bought it myself at a Longchamp store in France.

If it"s the nylon that is damaged I would go to the supermarket and buy an iron on arm/repair patch. They are usually cotton on one side and the other part has the glue that becomes active with an iron. I would cut a patch bigger than the slit, turn the bag inside out and place the patch over the slit. Place a teatowel over the rest of the bag taking care not to move the patch and iron in place. It will bond the cut and prevent further damage. If you get the edges as close together as possible on the slit it will be almost invisible from the outside of the bag. hth
I read that you are knowledgeable in leather care? I have a le pliage cuir that has a stain at the bottom (not sure if it was milk but it is liquid and quite possible not water because if it were water, it would have dried out, right?) and cuirs are made of lambskin and goat skin. How do I remove the stain? Many thanks!

I need help!
Just found out that my Longchamp (Le Pliage) is damaged. When I say damaged, I mean that the bag was "squashed". It wasn't folded properly as it was supposed to be and now the bag just looks "crumpled". Any idea how to get it fix?
It doesn't matter if it is a cheap bag or what. I like to keep my bags in excellent condition.
