The Longchamp Le Please Tote is one of these Most Affordable Designer Bags You can buy. Crossing the generational divide, this is one of those rare bags that Gen Z, Millennials and their mothers are likely to own.
Now, the 30-year-old bag is enjoying another renaissance. Designed in 1993, its name is derived from the French word for “folding”; Three simple folds reduce it to the size of a purse, perfect for storage. Furthermore, this bag is also completely washable because of the nylon fabric.
Although popular at the time of its launch, Le Pliage did not become truly popular until the noughties. A mainstay of royals and It-girls of the era, the bag was regularly seen on the arm of Kate Middleton and Alexa Chung.
Despite remaining a bestseller (it was regularly seen in airports, on commutes, and in the office), Le Pilage fell out of favor. But with over 60 million views on TikTok and Gen Z’s approval, Longchamp’s Le Pliage is officially back in vogue.
Achieving a sleek, cool-luxury look without the eye-popping price tag (bags cost between £80 and £120), it’s no surprise that the Longchamp bag has won us over once again, If you’re looking for a new work bag or everyday tote, here’s my verdict on the recently redesigned Longchamp Le Pilage.
How we tested
First, I wanted to see how much I could pack into the Longchamp Le Pilage to see if it was the right investment for office days, travel, and more. I also tested the folding design of the bag.
Keeping in mind the spaciousness, carrying comfort, durability and looks, I also checked how well it blends with my wardrobe while doing day-to-day styling. I opted for a paper canvas shade with brown leather straps and fastening. You can also choose to personalize it through Le Pilage Signature’s online offering (I got my initials on the tab).
