Personally, I think Le Pilage is perfect for the weekend. I have a black one and because of the brown handles, it goes perfectly with everything. It's casual but still sophisticated and it's a nice break from my pricier bags that I need to baby and worry about...

This.
And aside from being very practical and easy to match with, etc., I think they are gaining some semblance of status since they do look so unassuming and simple yet pretty classy.

I personally am growing to love how they look.

I just want to proclaim my love for the Le Pliage -- I have had mine for about 2 weeks and I am never going back to other bags! The look is simple and classic without being too plain, and I have found that it doesn't look out of place dressed down or dressed up. The size is perfect (I have the medium with long handles) and it holds all of my stuff, and then some!, without looking huge when I carry it.

I chose the navy, which is the perfect color for an everyday bag. It looks good with black, brown, colors, etc. It's a nice little pop without being too bright or obnoxious, but it is a "boring neutral" either. It's comfortable on my shoulder -- the straps don't dig in at all and the bag is so lightweight! (even with all of my stuff inside!!)

My only regret is that I didn't purchase one sooner.

They stitch a new seam inside, so you get new corners. Every bag will wear along the hard points. I don't baby my Le Pliage bags and none of mine have serious corner wear. Maybe it got scraped somewhere and you didn't notice? I'd take it in to get fixed.

I think they are worth $145 for the thickness of the nylon, and you can usually find them on sale.

I never knew you can get the seams stitched inside! i live in the philippines and bought the le pliage from the official distributor (it's a shop-in-shop rather than a free standing store), do you think i can still have it done? i got it 4 years ago though!

just to add, i personally am very fashion-conscious and am thinking maybe one reason some don't appreciate the le pliage is because of the simplicity of the design. i, however, think that the chic factor of this bag is through the roof, especially when worn with the right outfit. ;)

: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 !!!

Well I have the large tote in 4 colors. They are nice to have when you want to go to the beach, mall or travel. Its nice not having to worry about them. Mine sits in sand and they are mostly water proof! :D I love using them in vegas!

Do you all like the Le Pliage or the Planetes bag better? I always wanted a dark purple Le Pliage bag (size large) but now I really like the look of the Planetes black large bag! What do you all think??

I love my Longchamp. I grew up with them and have stuffed virtually everything I could into each of them. The zippers they manufacture with them are incredible- I have NO idea how they haven't busted. You could throw those bags in the fire and I bet they'd make it out without a scratch. Worth every penny IMO

I had no idea why the Le Pliages were so big either ("HOW much for a nylon bag?!") - until I got my hands on one. I just love everything about them: lightweight, durable, comfortable, waterproof, good for travel, simple but can be dressy, etc. They're chic AND functional, which is a huge plus for me. The only thing is that there aren't really any organizational pockets and it tends to sag, but both of those issues are easily solved with a purse organizer. Longchamp also offers repairs (even for holes that develop in the corners, a common problem), which is reassuring.

I'm going to buy my first Longchamp Le Pliage this weekend!!
I can't decide what size to get!!
I'm moving to London at the end of the summer so it will be my everyday bag for work ect. I'm not sure if I should get M or L and I find all the photo's in the "show you Longchamp" thread to be rather confusing haha

I also can't pick a colour - I love navy, black and grey

I'm sure I will buy more in the future haha

Hi Sophie. I just got into longchamp recently. I have 2 large and 1 medium. For me, the medium size is the best for everyday bag. The large size is excellent to use when you are traveling. Good luck in your purchase.

Since I left my last post I have bought another one, black short handle open tote and I want to add a chocolate long handle large shopper. These bags are incredible carry Alls and look good with my designer bags.
