This bag is somewhat of a tradition in our family. So I sent this to my niece as a memento of beginning her first grown up job. She loves it and says her mom (my sister) is jealous!
I love the classical minimalist styling of Le Pliage bags. After extensive research, I decided not to buy this particular style and settled on the Medium top handle and the Large long handle ones instead. I found it extremely difficult to assess the item dimensions in order to choose the size that would fit my needs for a practical everyday or travel use purse. Going by the price tag was not working because the Small long handle one is priced higher than the the bigger Medium top handle one. I even went through ordering and returning a few totes to get a better feel of the dimensions that were inconsistent or missing across different online retailers. I used the dimensions from the official Longchamp site as the basis for my research. At the end, I settled on the Medium top handle and the Large long handle ones as the optimal combination.
