Longchamps shoppers..anyone?

[mrsmerryweather]

anyone owned a Longchamps shopper- think they are called Pliage or similar- made of nylon with a leather flap and handles. Did you lie it? are they still fashionable? Need a large, LIGHTWEIGHT bag for day trips to carry bottle water, umbrealla etc etc.

I have emailed you back

Oh I don't like them. My posh friend has one though.

I had one about 15 years ago.

A firend asked me why I "Always carried that horrible bag around."

She said it wasn't fashionable in London. Where we were at the time.

Kind of put me off them.

This thead has made me want one again.

I love these bags, can't believe I missed out on a bargain from jolie.

it's a disco i think fishie. have you been to the shop on bond st?

Thanks for your email..I have tried to reply but it's playing up.

I am having a think about the bag- sorry to mess you about, but maybe someone else wouldlike to have it meantime?

That's okay.
Let me know if anyone else wants it.

jolie I would love your bag if you're still happy to sell it?
Is it this one?

Yes it is the large size in dark brown with the long handle. Email me at the address further back in this thread.

Frites - I used the wool or hand wash cycle and a bit of liquid 'handwash' that's designed for washing machines. I was a bit scared about the leather handles but they dried fine. I had it in mind to rub a bit of leather conditioner on the handles afterwards but they didn't need it.

I got the confidence to try it from the purseforum.com blog - there was a woman there who washed her white pliage and showed pics, gave instructions etc. It might be worth you doing a search on that forum to find the thread.

It's worth trying if your is so dirty you're not even using it - it might be worth attacking the grubby bits with some vanish stick before washing.

(please don't shout at me if your bag dissolves )

jolie I've e-mailed you

Got it just now.
Thanks!

Got the bag today, it's perfect.
Thanks jolie!
Have you got any more bargains?!
