they look plain and simple, alright
but these are the very same reasons
why they are so darn popular.
a branded go-to bag that's perfect
for any occasion- except for formal dinners.
classy yet relatively at the lower end
of the price scale

Thanks for the info, I didn't know this..
I have a large graphite for over a year now from bloomingdales, got good use out of it. But the corners are frayed, infact have little holes.
Can I get it fixed? Do I write to them or take it to a longchamp store..
Has anybody done this before?
I wondered too about the fuss. I live in Iowa and have not seen them around here. I was just in Boston and they were everywhere! I am thinking about buying one. I bought a Michael Kors Large Tote for way more the price of a Le Pilage and after 3 weeks it's showing wear....how disappointing! So I am glad to hear these wear better....may just take the plunge.
I was a serious doubter of these bags too. However I spent the last 10 days in France and the Parisiennes looked so chic with them. I gave in and bought one duty free. Anyways it had its first outing today while I got some basics for autumn and I am in love! I was not fussing about the weather, I didn't mind placing it on the floor and best of all I could fit all of my shopping in it!
I love my Bayswaters but after today I have ordered a small short handle le Pliage to complement my large, long handled one.
Only issue is that I bought it in France and it was made in China!!! Haha!

I have seen these bags around a time or two. I understand they may be durable, but I couldn't bring myself to buy one. I don't like the shape and I think it is a pretty boring looking bag. That's just my opinion. But I am sure I like other bags that some don't either, I am just commenting on what I think of them.
I don't understand it either, though I have not ever owned one. EVERYONE at my university carried them. Aesthetically, they look OK, certainly not anything to write home about. I understand that it is nice to have a portable, foldable, waterproof bag, but I feel like there are many other options out there that are more fashionable and less expensive (they just don't have the name). It also seems like there is absolutely NO structure or way to organize in the bag. Does your stuff just flop about everywhere in the bag? I don't know what keeps the weight evenly distributed without any structure. The price seems heinous for nylon. BUT that's just my opinion. Like I said, I've never actually looked at one up close or owned one.
Initially, I didn't really see the fascination with the pliage, but I gave it a chance and now I'm converted. I really love it! It's lightweight, easy to carry, can fit a lot - even in the small one.. it's also quietly chic and easy to care for and worry free.
I understand that they're functional but beyond that - I have no idea. I mean, technically a cheap canvas bag is also functional. They're hardly what I'd call stylish or fashion-forward 
but I recognize that people love them because they're functional.

I wouldn't call Longchamp a big deal, but I like them because they're simple, practical, resilient and even though they may be slightly overpriced I don't think they look cheap. To be honest I've seen a few "high end/luxury" handbags that cost hundreds more $$ and to me look just the same quality as my Longchamp bags.
