I will be going to Ireland for a month and was trying to figure out what purse to bring and I have none with a crossbody and zip top so I went shopping. After a couple of weeks still no bag and down to the wire. I was going to get a Louis Vuitton Speedy B but they don't have one in stock locally in the size I want so they are going to call me when they get one in. So while I wait I was looking for other suggestions still wondering if LV is the way to go. I was looking for something nice, crossbody, zip top, handle option as well, quality that will stand up, and I will want to use after..... Longchamp was suggested again and again.
Today I went to a store here that carries Longchamp and not a fan of the nylon bags as I don't think they will work well day to night (still planning on throwing a smaller bag inside like a wristlet but have kids so may need the bigger bag). I found the Le Pliage Cuir Leather Handbag in the medium size and it is nice but there was a leather issue with a gray/tan color. A spot where it was harder and stiff and winkling so they are getting another in as I didn't want black (have many black bags). So I am wondering as simple an no frills as the bag is how is the quality for $555? Are they worth it? They are light weight and actually had style for the no frills but want to make sure it holds up and is worth the money. Looking for love/ hate, any information and opinions you have! Thanks!
