The Classic Longchamp Le Pliage Is Making a Comeback

Don’t you just love it when a trend cycles back around? I certainly do, considering it gives me another chance to wear pieces I relegated to the back of my closet yet can’t seem to part with. One style that was hugely popular in the early 2000s is making a comeback is the Lonchamp Le Pliage—and I’m super excited about it. The tote was everywhere back in the day, and it’s becoming majorly trendy again. Luckily, I never got rid of my bag, and I’ve been carrying it constantly. Snag one for yourself to wear every day. 

I’ve had my Longchamp bag for over 10 years, and the durable nylon is still holding up. The tote also features leather accents for an elevated look that can be dressed up with a dress and cute heels or down with jeans and comfy sneakers. Plus, both the smooth exterior and the water-resistant lining are easy to wipe down if anything spills on or in your purse. One shopper said, “I dropped a fruit punch Gatorade on the side of the bag, and [it] didn’t stain. Just wiped [it] with a napkin, and everything’s perfect.”

The bag has a zippered closure on top, and you can snap the upper flap closed for additional security, too. Measuring 11 by 6 by 10 inches, the purse has ample room inside to hold all your belongings, plus a slip pocket for small items. I can fit my wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses case, tissues, hand sanitizer, and a folded cardigan inside. Though if the medium size still isn’t big enough for you, there’s also a large Longchamp Le Pliage that’s spacious enough to accommodate a laptop. (I actually also have the large size and often use it for work.)

Another neat thing about the Longchamp tote is that it has a foldable design. When folded, the bag lies flat, making it great for packing in a suitcase while traveling. And the compact size makes for easy storage in your closet, too. The purse comes in a variety of colors, with everything from basic black and navy to brighter hues like pink and red. 

It’s not only me that’s had the tote bag for years; one reviewer said they’ve had theirs for 20-plus years. Others note that the purse is versatile and lightweight and that the shoulder straps don’t slip down. “[It’s] always the best choice for work, travel, and leisure,” another person raved.

Take my word for it: The Longchamp Le Pliage is definitely worth your money. And you can browse even more timeless Longchamp bags that you’ll be carrying for years to come below.
