I find them great for travelling, as I can fit in heaps of things, including a book, a scarf and jacket/cardigan and they are still light. I have a medium with the longer shoulder straps in black and can throw it around without it getting dirty (just wipe it off if anything gets on it). I don't like when too many people have the same things, but I can see exactly why so many people have them, they are great!

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.

Very well said! I completely agree. I sometimes get tired of seeing MK everywhere, but the Longchamp totes I will never get sick of despite their popularity. They're just so effortlessly chic and functional, and I know they'll never go out of style.

I think for those who wants a designer bag but don't like the Michael Kors or Coach or can't afford a more upscale designer go for Le Pliage. They really look chic and it's well made. I use mine a lot in school and when I travel. I have the large and that's the only big bag I have. The rest are all small-medium size and leather.

Their leather bags are amazing and well made as well. I have a vintage tan satchel that I use everyday and it still looks great. The wear on the bag makes it prettier.

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's like saying, "Well, I won't wear jeans because everyone's wearing them now..."

At least that's how I think of it.

Well said. I've always loved the style but was hesitant to get it as it is very popular at where I stay. Not to mention a lot of imitations. But ever since I've gotten the Planetes bag in Plum, I must say I really love how sturdy and yet lightweight it is. Fellow PFers have really given me a good idea of how to dress it up to make mine unique. " )

Thanks! I wrote that awhile ago but it's still all true. Still love my Pliage and it still looks as good as new. I'd actually like to get another color or even a custom one.
