I found this on their website. I don't think I'll buy the cream, but follow the other instructions, instead.

There are also instructions for their other bags:

Le Pliage - Polyamide fabric with induction inside trimmed in cowhide leather
Care:
To maintain your product, apply with a soft brush Longchamp colorless cream regularly to leather areas.
To remove dirt, clean the whole lining using a cloth or a soft brush, with water and neutral soap (avoid water spilling over leather parts when cleaning).​

i just got a white le pliage tote bag with some colored embroidery on it. i read that many of you will put them in the washing machine (and i heard it from a friend of mine, too), but those bags dont have any embroidery on them. can i still put the bag in the washing machine?
i tried cleaning the edges with some soft brush an detergent, but i stopped cause the material started to change and the stain ist still there...
thank you!

I have a Longchamp Planetes bag in the beige colour. I was trying to wipe off some small stains using a damp cloth and I now have some big water stains. It has been nearly 24hr hours.. and the water stain has not disappeared.

Does anyone know what I can do to get rid of it?

Just bought a Bilberry large with long handles from a girl on Craigslist, $40. The bag is authentic, but I didn't realize until I got home just in how bad shape it was. She had only had it for 4 months, but its really beat up. I tried cleaning it with a toothbrush and soap/water, and then moved to baby wipes per others recommmendations - helped a little but there are still a lot of white marks on it, and it looks like dark stains.

I'm really worried about putting it in the washing machine - would maybe dry cleaning help? Also - the corners are really frayed so I'm going to send it in to get fixed, but the bottom of the bag is also completely frayed, is this something that can be fixed for a fee? Unlikely, but I figured I'd ask. That doesn't bother me as much as all the stains - otherwise the bag is in good shape.

I got a preowned Taupe myself and it was also in pretty bad shape with water stains and black stains all over. What I did was soak the nylon part of it in water and soap and scrubbed it with a toothbrush and wiped with cloth. Then I hung it to air dry.

The ends were also frayed on mine, even had holes. So what I did was turned the bag inside out then folded the edges by a tad and I sewed them by hand. Voilaaaaa got rid of the frays and holes! Hope that helps!!
