That is how I use le Pliage, I either carry it folded in my leather bag, or when the weather changes in a minute, I just stash my leaather bag in le Pliage and it is just a nice cover with great handles (because my bag is inside, all is still structured. I anyway use purse organizers all the time ("Pouchee"), so mess would not be an issue

I REALLY LIKE how u use ur le pliage! I think LC made them foldable at the first place for that reason too, so we get the bag to carry more stuff ɑ.k.ɑ. Second bag and to have it folded inside our bɑby leather/fabric/canvas so it stays dry and clean when the weather is bad or when we simply don't trust the floor :) dear, u made me think of getting one..what color do u think will work its best? :):)

well, that was my biggest problem, and I tried to stay happy with one colour and size, then decided to let it go and buy several over time

my first one I bought was for a trip where I had lambskin sensitive gorgeous purple-gray YSL downtown, so my le Pliage is mauve (muted, elegant purplish), large long straps

late night in a metro, I carried YSL in le Pliage just to be safe and keep it clean

then I bought dark blue graphyte very large (foldable into super small package) for my suede carry - on so that I do not stress any more travelling around Canada in the winter for business trips when I want to look stylish :))) - gray Mulberry and this beautiful blue le Pliage go excellent together

then I got beige one, green and small in dark brown for running to my daughter's games around school gyms

:graucho: haaaa..I used your post as an excuse to post my not revealed bags on my showcase page..thanks

I fell in love with Le Pliage after this photo from Sartorialist (some dear tPF-ers were mentioning it as a perfect carry-in tote for rain etc, but I could not see the charm) - but this photo was it - subtle casual, yet makes her entire wardrobe so classy !!!

this is navy. Mine is graphite (grayish blue, rark denim), but this one here is the winner !!!

I used to be a structured leather bag person and live in a country where every other woman carries a Le Pilage. In fact, I don't even have to go to a store to look at the bags, all I do is get on a train and obeserve which sizes/colors I want based on the Le Pilages on everyone's arm! I thought it was cheap looking and unoriginal.

Anyway I bought one on a whim from Macys at San Francisco in March, a long-handled Le Pilage tote. Started using it immediately and have since relegated all my leather bags to the back of my cupboard. I can't remember the last time I used a heavy leather bag now! I like it because:

- It's lightweight and easy to tote around.
- Fits a ton of things, but you need to get the right size for your needs. If it's too large, it'll seem like a big black hole.
- Classic style with nice range of colors to fit every outfit
- No-fuss and durable
- Folds up nicely for travel

I think Longhandled Le Pilages are more functional while the shorthandled ones look more classy so really, there's a Le Pilage for almost every use! I now just rotate between the three that I have (long handle/short handle/Le Pilage hobo) and I find that it meets all my needs. No need to spend time deciding on coordinating a bag with my outfit!

I'm so glad I've jumped on the Le Pilage bandwagon. It has literally made my life easier (no aching shoulders/hands from heavy bags, able to tote around more things, a bag which fits almost all outfits but evening gowns, a bag for all needs etc.)!

Vesna, u evil...lol. Thanks for the inspiring pic but u see IMHO ur graphite has more style than the navy one, the color is just unique. Just realized from above posting by shaniita, le pliage is actually has long and short handle-u see I used to wonder WHY everyone in the planet has one le pliage and never really notice the handle. Which handle do u think work best if I use the bag only to protect my first bag? Sorry mods if this is oot, pls erase if it does. :)

there is nothing in your post to worry about, this thread is just for these questions :D In my oppinion, long handle is by far the best. I took orange short handle only because I need it inside smaller bag in case of rain (large clutch) and short handles are not taking any space inside another bag. My graphite one for travelling also has short ones for easier packing, but anyway, if I put my carry-on in it, it wil look rediculous for that large size on the shoulder, so I would carry it in hand. But, long handle ones are best for nornal everyday bags because it eases your carrying once you really need it out. The strap drop is ideal. Hope this helps.
