I love my Longchamp Le Pliage tote in Large with long handles and think it is very versatile and useful. It is lightweight, fashionable, and surprising the handles stay on my shoulders without slipping off. I usually have a problem with handles on bags slipping off my shoulders but never had a problem with this one. I also love that I can fold it up and store it away easily. For the price, it is a little bit pricey but I use this bag often and so it was worth it. I even got one recently for my mom for traveling :)

I think they're similar to the appeal of the LeSportSac bags. They're not that fashionable, pretty plain, and ridiculously priced considering the material & quality. However, they are super lightweight, compact and instantly recognizable, so I can see it appealing to those who want a designer bag that they can be a little rough with (on rainy days, for travelling, to the beach, etc.)

I just bought a Longchamp Le Pliage and am testing it out. So far, I like it. I'm currently using it to carry my regular purse (a leather bag), shawl, iPad, notebook, my lunch, and umbrella. The nylon is surprisingly (in a good way) thick, and the inside of the bag is coated with some material that has a rubber-like feel to it.

I do wish the one inside pocket had a zipper or something, though. I use it to carry my phone, keys, and wallet, so that they're in easy reach, but because there's nothing with which to secure the pocket, sometimes my stuff falls out of the pocket. The pocket is also kind of small.

For some reason, the leather of the handles seems fake to me, but I'm assuming it's genuine leather. I think it's the diamond/cross-hatch "grain" that's throwing me off, as I haven't encountered that kind of grain in my leather goods before.

I'm refraining from passing final judgment, though, before I've had a chance to try Le Pliage out for a month. We'll see how well it can hold up to the "abuse" I can throw at it ...

I used to think the same as you. Then I bought a medium Le Pliage but I only used it as a week-ender. Then I bought Planetes which has similar style as Le Pliage but the nylon is thicker and it looks dressier. Now I used that bag as a handbag sometimes when my arms are tired of carrying heavy designer leather bag. I think it's good thing to give your arm a break sometimes. Beside in real life Planetes doesn't look as plain as Le Pliage.

They are durable and waterproof, and I think it goes with literally every outfit I put on! I use the Le Pliage for school and it fits absolutely everything, from my laptop, to books, to my water bottle...it's perfect! A great alternative to the backpack. It's pricey for what it is, but well worth it IMO.
