The French always seem to have fashion in the bag (no pun intended…well, maybe a little). Longchamp is one of those longstanding design companies originating in Paris which, despite decades of producing collections, always manages to create new, interesting items for fashionistas everywhere to desire.
One of the most popular collections designed by Longchamp is the Le Pliage line ranging from cosmetic cases to full-sized luggage bags. Perhaps it is the perfect combination of sleek style and practicality that makes the collection so prevailing.
My personal favorite from the Le Pliage options is the large folding tote. Who would have thought navy nylon could look so stylish? All at once, the bag makes me wish for a sunny day at the ocean and a cool, cloudy day out shopping. I can’t imagine another bag that could convert so easily between the two opposites.
The lightweight nylon is perfect for carrying around all day but is durable enough for regular use and beyond. This tote could double as a travel bag and diaper bag. The waterproof material makes it ultra practical, but the brown leather handles and trim provide the extra touch that makes it chic. The long zipper not only makes the interior easily accessible but also adds a modern shape to an otherwise basic shape.
If the large version is too big for you, the Le Pliage line offers a plethora of sizes from which to choose. You can get the tote in almost any color imaginable. I love the navy, but the cornflower blue and chocolate brown are equally pretty. The large Longchamp folding tote is available for $145.
