Longchamp Le Pliage Tote Bag

[janeylou25]

Does anyone have a Longchamp Le Pliage Tote Bag?

Are they worth the money?

Was thinking of buying one .......

I love my baby ‘Energy’ cross body one.

I regretted buying the normal large Le P one in tan, because I hadn’t realised that the lining is white and therefore crap.

I’ve just bought a new black one. They’re perfect for flights or for one night away.

I’ve had mine about 8 years, it’s my main work bag so it’s had heavy use and it still looks pretty good. I just stick it through the washing machine. Get a dark colour though, the light ones do look tatty when they get old.

I do not have one, but I have just fallen deeply, deeply in love with the backpack. Thanks, OP!

I have had a few over the years! Currently have a large and medium (both black), a pink holdall and a navy backpack. Love them all!

Could someone explain the attraction? As far as I can see, when I was looking for something to replace my briefcase which would fit my laptop, and I looked at these bags in Selfridges or John Lewis, they’re made of plastic and don’t really have much that’s special. Look a bit frumpy to me … and I won’t carry a plastic handbag anyway.

I find leather totes too heavy tbh.

I really hate the word frumpy. They're bags - they are inoffensive imo and pretty versatile.

They are a lightweight tote. Mine is 18 years old and is still in good nick.
I don’t think it’s any deeper than that.

I have a black tote I bought in 1990 from in flight sales on British Airways when I worked as cabin crew . I think I paid about £12 for it then . The corners are showing a bit of wear but apart from that it’s still going strong . I use it as an overnight bag and wouldn’t hesitate to buy another

They’re great until the corners go and then you get holes!

I’ve got lots of bags but the ones I use most are le pliage Navy, grey and just bought a brown one. It has a bigger phone pocket compared to my other ones which are a few years old now. They’re just really simple and versatile.

Had one for 1+ years and used daily, still going strong. I have the large one and brought an insert for it too. Love it but it seems to be everywhere now!

I think they're everywhere precisely for the fact that they're lightweight, hardwearing and versatile, especially compared to how heavy some leather bags are before you've even put anything in them. I also like the fact that they are foldable so easy to throw in a suitcase as an extra bag when travelling for instance.

Each to their own, as in all things, but I love mine.

Am surprised there's not been more handbag snobbery on this thread. I have all sorts of designer bags, most of which are more 'high end' than this, but still love mine for all the reasons others have already said.

I have a nylon one, It's got a strap and an internal pocket. It's bright, it was cheap I used it for a couple of summers carrying stuff to work or as hand luggage travelling.

10 years later it's still in good condition and the kids use it as a swimming or overnight bag.

They're decent for the price, a classic and good for a cpsule wardrobe but nothing mind blowing.

If you take them back they will repair the holes for you.

I’ve used a longchamp exclusively since 2016. They’re the best handbag I’ve found.

They're great for the same reason the much maligned Neverfull is great. Super lightweight,strong bag that you can shove all your crap in for work/uni/school/baby without any addition weight from the bag. Also easy to clean.
