Longchamp Le Pliage Original S Handbag

This is the third Longchamp Le Pliage I’ve purchased over the years for my spouse and family. Here’s the breakdown as to pros and cons of this bag, and why I’d recommend this piece as an essential part of any collection:Pros:-Minimalist design that can match with any outfit. No screaming logos, but the strength of the design comes from the classically recognizable silhouette.-Shoulder length rolled leather handles provides multiple carrying options and comfort for longer days out.-Lightweight and durable finish. Leather bags are great for a night out, but the nylon bags featherweight utility comes in incredibly handy when on trips or longer ventures.-Generous storage volume: main compartment can fit almost anything you ask of it, and any spills that occur ... MoreThis is the third Longchamp Le Pliage I’ve purchased over the years for my spouse and family.

As it stands, it only has the large main compartment, and a very small inner pocket, which limits organizational abilities and to be able to find what you’re looking for quickly.-Price is a bit premium for what you get, but these bags are extremely durable for the most part, so you do get what you pay for. Just pay attention to the bottom corners as they tend to be the first parts to wear under heavy use.Overall, you can’t go wrong with this bag. It fits many occasions and as a daily go-to bag, it’s fashionable enough to fit in almost any situation and the design stands the test of time.

I can't understand why no reviews of the Le Pliage talk about the holes in the corners that develope in these bags. I have both the small and the medium and they both have holes in the corners of the bottom of the bags. I am so disappointed. I loved both of my le Pliage bags at first. The tote for work and the small. I really like the brown and black combination. They both can hold a lot more than they look like. They are light and easy to carry. But they both have holes in the corners that make them look beat up that started after a short time. The corners fray where the holes develope. The point of these bags are that they look classy and are practical. Then this happens. They have been making them for years it's not like they don't know this happens.

I bought this in charcoal grey thinking it was the same size as my black/brown Longchamp Le Pliage bag. I tried the Recycled based on reviews I read. The small was way too small for me. The feel of the bag was different than the Le Pliage I have. I was disappointed with the quality and the size. I returned it. If the quality was better I would have gotten it in a larger size. The color was nice.
