Yeaahh... i guess you're right..
I was just wondering, since i always hand washed and air dry them, that i thought maybe ironing it could do some help..
It's just that i took my bag for granted back then, that now i want to know how to properly take care of them and, if possible, prolong their service life [emoji39]
Right now they're in a clean condition, no washing needed, so i thought I'd asked around [emoji4]
Hello Sophie, Seton n ladies
Regarding iron, i did finally ironing one of my recently bought 2nd hand msh light blue a couple of weeks ago.
It came folded (no bubbles though), so i tried to iron it to smoothen the folding area out. You know what? The bag refused to cooperate! I used low temperature iron, and left it for a couple of second on the folded area, and the area turned darker! Luckily it has returned to its original color now, but it shock me nonetheless.
So apparently you can't iron nylon?
I store it flatten out, unfolded, and the folding lines smoothen a bit, but that's it.
I cannot try it on my bubbly beige msh, because it's such a wreck.
No more ironing.

I have used the ironing method for a thrifted vintage LC backpack, it was bubble city. I first washed it in the sink cause i'm a germaphobe. Then i ironed it out and STUFFED it, that worked for 80% of the bubbles. Did it a few times and it looks great! I travelled to the Caribbean with it and the humidity did bring bag some of the bubbles, but not as bad as it was. I'm assuming the original owner probably used it to travel a lot and the humidity messed it up. Retried my wash/iron/stuff method and it's back to looking like new.
Oh, awesome! Thank you for sharing this!
How exactly did you do that? Did you ironed it while it's still wet?
Washed it, let it fully air dry then stuffed it with a ton of clothes to stretch out the bubbles. Then I ironed it out and let it sit to cool off. I store it stuffed.
Hello fellow members,
I have this long champ le pliage large purchased in May 2016 from bagshop.com. I've only used this 3-4 times. I contacted them regarding this and they replied with "A shoemaker should be able to stitch that up for you." The threading is coming out in the middle of only one handle. Are there any other alternatives? And is this a common issue?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

If u dont live near a LC boutique, contact CS on LC website and see what they can do for you. It doesnt matter that u bought it from bagshop.
Thank you Seton,
I brought it back to my nearest LC boutique and they will be sending it out for repair. It'll take 6-8 weeks
Re: Nordstrom. I have a pliage that needs corner repair and I recently asked about their policy. The SA stated that they stopped sending in repairs last March.
Which is unfortunate, since I do not have any Longchamp stores either. I guess mine will not be repaired.
You will have to contact LC CS on their website and will probably have to ship it to their NJ center if u want it repaired.
For those who don't have a LC store nearby (like me), just send an e-mail to customer service [email protected] and let them know your issue, which bag/style it is, when it was purchased, etc and they will respond to you with information and a "Consumer Evaluation/Repair Ticket" form to print out. You will have to pay to ship it to them in New Jersey.
