The Longchamp Le Pliage is a great bag with one fault - it's much too popular. I see them all over New York. However, they are really useful. They are extremely durable, they are waterproof, they fit a lot, and they are easy to wash and take care of. I have two now - an Eiffel tower one that I got like three or four years ago, and a new one that I will be showing you now! :)
The reason I decided to get a new Le Pliage is because my current one is a little beat up and the design is coming off. :( Then again, I have been using it for years and throwing it around, putting it on the floor, stuffing it into a gym locker, etc. I need to get the corners of it patched up, but it has served me incredibly well. The one I got is the larger Le Pliage with the long handles. It was the last one left in NYC, I believe, because I contacted or personally visited all the stores. For some reason, I put off ordering it online, and then all of their sale bags disappeared. The large Le Pliage bags with the long handles are usually $145, and this one was on sale for $116. That's not even why I wanted it though - I just love this color! I don't like the other red that Longchamp makes as much. This color is called "Grape." As soon as I saw that Longchamp's website didn't have the sale Le Pliage bags anymore, I e-mailed their Spring Street store and went to the store on Madison, and they told me they had none left. Then, later in the day, the Spring Street store e-mailed me again and said that they had one left. I ordered it on the phone yesterday and it arrived today. I absolutely love it!
Here it is all folded up. It's so great that you can fold these up, because they are so easy to carry around within another bag just in case it rains or something.
Here are my two Le Pliage bags together:
I also got a new Chanel nail polish this week - Rouge Fatal. I have to say, this might be my favorite Chanel color.
ha, I'm wearing rouge fatal right now! :D Great colour indeed, my favourite red nail polish and my favourite Chanel colour! :)
ReplyDeleteand I adore that le pliage you got! Again: I love the colour!
I am seriously in love with this red! I'm wearing it right now too, haha, so high five for matching nail polish! And thank you! I love deep red/burgundy shades :D
Deleteburgundy is such a classy colour! Love it, too :D
DeleteI love my Le Pliage - I have the same size in navy. It's perfect to carry around my books and stuff. But I'm quite surprised how expensive the Le Pliage is in the States. They are much cheaper here in Europe.
ReplyDeleteAh, and I really like the shade of the nail polish. Looks great :)
How much are they in Europe? Lol. That's it, I need to go to Paris and stock up on some Le Pliages :P
DeleteAnd thank you!
Nvm, I just looked it up...they are 75,00€ which is roughly $96 USD, as opposed to the $145 that we pay here. That's ridiculous -_-
DeleteSo it's a good excuse to come to Paris. And Paris is always a good idea :)
DeleteLmao, yes, I need to go to Paris and stock up on Longchamp bags :D
DeleteI got my Le Pliage bag with an eiffel tower in Paris!
DeleteAmazing photo's! I'm considering on buying a Le Pliage but I dont know yet :/
ReplyDeletexoxo
You should definitely get one! :D and thank you<3
DeleteI'm a big fan of Le Pliage :) despite them being so common at my end as well.
ReplyDeleteThey are so functional like you have pointed out and they don't cause a big damage to the purse. My previous one was a maroon like colour (I can't recall the exact name) and my current one is a navy one.
I've been thinking if I should get a customized one (where you could customized the bag with your initials, choose the hardware, combination of colours etc). ;p
I've been wanting a customized one, as well, but I don't really love the fonts/designs they offer for your initials :(
DeleteVery nice bag and I am super jealous of your Chanel collection!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteHi Yana! Could you possibly do a post on what makeup you normally wear for an everyday look?
