Longchamp Le Pliage
Thirteen years after it was introduced to the American market, the eminently collapsible Le Pliage—which means “folding” in French—has saturated the streets of New York City as the practical shoulder bag of the moment: to be stuffed with gym clothes, schoolbooks, groceries, Evian bottles, Selfmagazines, important briefs, novels, four-inch heels, and whatever else it is women carry around all day. At some point in the past five years, it mysteriously overtook the Hervé Chapelier nylon tote, which served a similar purpose. Both are French. Both are available in a constantly changing seasonal variety of solid colors. Both are durable, and, reasonably inexpensive. “They’re very handy,” said Monique, 32, a Park Slope resident recently spotted in the West Village carrying three—three!—Le Pliages over her shoulder. “You don’t have a car here most of the time, so you need a bag that can carry you to work, to the gym, casual life.”
"It is definitely my first choice to bring to holidays. I love that the huge bag can be folded and tuck into my luggage bag. It also helps that its waterproof so I can be sure that important documents in my bag would be safe from the rain. It’s also a very durable bag; my Le Pliage bags which are already a few years old are still in tip top condition. Did I mention that it’s so spacious that I can fit a water bottle, a book, a wallet, an umbrella, makeup bag and other knickknacks in it?"
