Longchamp Le Pliage Review

 

Today I am going to be speaking to you guys all about a new fashion item that has entered my ever-growing collection. I am obviously speaking about the wonderful Longchamp Le Pliage. My love for this bag started how my obsession with new items always starts. I saw this online and didn’t love it.

Then I continue to see it online and it began to play on my mind. Before it even registered what was happening, I was browsing different websites trying to find the perfect one. Low and behold, I accidently added it to my basket and now I am the proud owner of a Longchamp Le Pliage. Here is my overall review of whether or not I think it is worth the money.

 

 

Why I wanted this handbag.

As I mentioned above, this Longchamp Le Pliage just crept its way into my subconscious. I wasn’t head over heels in love with it initially, however it was one that every now and then when I thought about picking up something new that I would think about. For as long as I can remember, Longchamp has been a quiet luxury kind of handbag that always seemed to go under the radar. In the last year they have soared in popularity and that only made me want to get my hands on it even more.

 

The style and size that I bought.

When it dawned on me that the next bag that I would be adding to my collection would be the Longchamp Le Pliage, I realised that I had to do some browsing. There were many different versions of this handbag available, and I wanted to make sure that I got the right one for me and my lifestyle. In the end, I went for the black version of the bag, in the large size. With tan handles and accents. Generally speaking, that colour combination always goes with my outfits, and it is a timeless pairing.

 

How I use this bag.

Since picking up this bag, I have used it hell of a lot. I use it primarily for work. That is what I bought it for. I can fit inside it everything that I need, and it still holds it shape very well and the handles seem nice and strong. But then when I am done with work, this is a suitable handbag for more relaxed occasions. The reason why I adore this Longchamp Le Pliage is because it is a stunning handbag, but it is more relaxed than some of bigger designer brands that can be rather in your face in regard to the branding.

 

What I can fit inside.

I opted for the largest version of this bag, and I am glad that I did. When I leave the house in a morning before heading to work, I am prepared for every eventuality. Whatever anybody ever needs, I have something in my handbag to help. That means that I carry with me hell of a lot of rubbish. I need the square inch inside the bag in order to house everything perfectly. I think I could potentially use this Longchamp Le Pliage for an overnight trip and still have room to spare!

 

The durability.

Before getting my hands on the Longchamp Le Pliage, I saw a little bit of hate for it online. People were saying that it wasn’t worth the money because it was a thin piece of fabric that was no thicker than a rain mac. However, I have to disagree with that statement. Since picking this up, I have used it half to death. When I am heading out to work, I throw everything inside this including my bulky ass laptop. The fabric of the bag has held up perfectly, the handles are still going strong and the shape of the bag is perfect.

 

The price.

I bought my Longchamp Le Pliage from Flannels. The only reason being was because that was the only place that has the size and colour combination in stock that I was looking for. In total, I paid £110 for this. For that price, I can’t help but think about this Longchamp Le Pliage in comparison to some of the other handbags that I have in my collection. The likes of my Louis Vuitton Neverfull, Dior Book Tote and Saint Laurent Canvas Tote. Those bags cost me thousands of pounds in some instances and yet I love this handbag that cost me only £110 on a par with those items. I think for the Longchamp Le Pliage, £110 is a steal!

 

As always, I hope you guys enjoyed this post and learning more about the Longchamp Le Pliage. Since picking this up, it has been a welcome addition to my closet. I love wearing it, it always looks smart, and I get lots of compliments on it. I feel like this is one of those brands that just exudes old money and I think that is why they have excelled in popularity over the years. Mine has quickly become my go-to work handbag because I can fit everything inside it with ease, but it also very easily crosses over into a casual handbag without looking over the top or too in your face with regards to branding.
