What do you think of Longchamp bags?

I have Le Pilage in Bilberry and Planetes. Both in large size. I carry them to work everyday because I'm so used to carry large bags. I had recently bought the Planetes bag because the Bilberry one had small tears at the four corners after one and half year of use. Now i use this as a weekend/diaper bag. Thinking of acquriing another Le Pilage in Navy or Graphite in either medium or large size.
Agreed on the lack of pockets. I would prefer to have one on the exterior.
Saw the leather series (w/o long strap) in the store but it is too expensive.
Mines are in hiding right now b/c I used them to death all last year. And soo many people have them out now - it gets frustrating (which is why i'm not a big fan of the monogram lv - my poor speedy gets no love sometimes).
But who knows if the mood flies by, i might pull it out.
It's functional, efficient, and chic at the same time. BUT it can be a black hole..

I just got the short handled medium tote in black and added a purse organizer. It's a pretty fab everyday bag.
I love my Le Pliage. I liked it before I bought it, but once I used it on a very rainy day, then I really, really loved it.
It doesn't bother me that a lot of people carry it. Actually where I live I don't see that many, but even if I did or they start popping up all over the place I'll still use it.
I think of it as a new classic. It's not like a trendy thing in my mind, it's more like, say, a striped sailor shirt, or flat-heeled riding boots, or jeans. It's something that people buy because it's universally pleasing to the eye and comfortable and versatile.
It's like saying, "Well, I won't wear jeans because everyone's wearing them now..."
At least that's how I think of it.

I've heard of the Le Pliage, but never really knew what it was, until last Saturday, that is, when an SA introduced them to me. I had seen them hanging all folded up, but always walked right past them not knowing what they were.
I was intrigued and bought two that day: a Navy and a Red--both mediums. I packed one full of everything I could think of taking with me during the day and could not believe how lightweight it was--even full. My shoulder said, "Aaaaaahhhhh".
So I went back Sunday and bought two more! A graphite and a chocolate. I have shoulder problems, so these are just what the doctor ordered.
I like the idea of getting a large one to hold my good bags on rainy days. Super idea!

I got my first and only Longchamp bag in high school. I was so excited and no one else in my school was carrying them. Then I entered college and I saw girls left and right carrying them. They're a must have for the college student. They are well made, light weight, and they hold everything we need while hanging around campus while still giving us poor college students a feel of luxury.
My sister has carried one of these for years. I bought a small tote and just didn't love it. I recently bought the medium satchel type. It's perfect. I love the size because I can fit everything I could possibly need in it including my ipad and a sweater. It's light weight. I can't carry a shoulder bag so this in hand style is perfect for me. It is awesome in the rain and the black goes with everything. The perfect everyday bag.
I love my Le Pliage LM Metal, the silver color. You can pack a whole lotta stuff into it, and not fear about messing up a very expensive leather bag - and it still looks fashionable. I've gotten lots of compliments and women asking what it is (I don't see them that frequently in my part of CA). My only complaint is the lack of pockets on the inside. A zip pocket would come in very handy!
I personally love how light weight and durable Longchamp bags are. They also don't get ruined by rain etc. (although I did manage to get gum on one of my bags once, that was really hard to get out!), and if you go for the neutral colors, like I tend to do, these bags really go with a lot of things too. They are too casual for special events, sure, but for running around town, taking to work etc. they are just perfect!
