I like them because they are super light and still look cool IMO. I also love that I can abuse them and they still look good.
Ditto.... never liked the looks of the Le Pliages I do like some Longchamp leather bags. Overall for carefree totes, I prefer canvas to nylon.
They are EVERYWHERE in Europe. At least half the women I saw had one! I think it's because they are very light, yet roomy, weatherproof, and they zip across the top so you don't have to worry about the pickpockets there. Also, for Europe, they are very reasonably priced for a "designer" bag. Then of course, there's the multitude of colors and matching accessories. I have 2, a small red one and the Eiffel Tower bag and I only use them when I travel. Oh, and they were the only thing I found that was cheaper in France versus the US!
Like others have said, Longchamp are great because they are very lightweight and practical, and they fold up for easy storage. Plus you can take them out in the rain without worrying about them too much.
I also like that they come in so many different colors and with all the size variations, you're guaranteed that one of the sizes is going to work for you. The zip top is nice also.

I have never actually seen one in public- I went on the website to check them out though. Its not really catching my attention though. Maybe I just need to handle one to change my mind
The Longchamp le pliage is an amazing bag. They're cute, lightweight, extremely durable, they fold up and it's just an overall great "everyday" bag. I use mine for school, when i travel, when i sleep over at my bf's and pretty much all the time! It fits so much and it's light so it doesn't hurt your shoulder. I think they're definitely worth the $145, the quality is excellent and you'll get ALOT of use out of it. You can't say the same for high end bags that go for thousands and you can't even wear them out in the rain
I don't think you can really understand the appeal unless you have one, every girl should have a longchamps le pliage in her wardrobe

A few weeks ago, I caught up with a former co-worker who was a Coach addict. She said she ditched Coach for Longchamp. I was like wow! What an upgrade because I though Longchamp meant:
And then found out it was the Le Pliage. About 10 years ago I got an inspired version from Gap for $5. (It looked exactly the same, I had no clue it was inspired by such an expensive bag) It held up well, worked fine. Eventually I was over it and donated it. Who knows, maybe someone picked it up at Goodwill and thought "Score! I am so on trend."
I just don't see the difference from other nylon bags. The "nicest" nylon bags I have are clearanced Kiplings and Lesportsac's. For me nylon should be durable and cheap. (Under $70 for sure.)

I understand both viewpoints. I couldn't understand the appeal until my mom gave me her 8 or 10 year old short handle in black. Since then I've been using it regularly. But I couldn't see myself getting a $145 bag that has inspired a lot of imitations. Recently though I've appreciated it's versatility. I can fold it and place it in my work tote and just take it out if I need to go somewhere without carrying my large work bag. My friends can't believe it's that " old".
Is it worth the price? For it's durability and subtle appeal, I'd say yes. I've finally given in and I got a medium long handle in Curry! It just arrived in the mail from Nordstrom today. I love it!

I used it every single day when I was pregnant because I couldn't take any heavy bags.... not even my pretty-light LV Speedy !
It is considerably cheaper than my other designer bags, looks simple + good, waterproof, basically maintenance-free and I do not worry about it AT ALL !
