The slowly growing trend of fashion customization is something I definitely approve of. If you’re going to drop a decent amount of cash on a purse, it’s nice to have control of at least a few of the features. Plus, doesn’t it make you feel just a little like a fashion designer picking out coordinating colors and such?
Longchamp is joining the trend by adding a section to their website that allows shoppers to “design” their own bag. Of course, the style options are limited, but the two collections from which you choose a bag are among the most best that the brand offers.
Online customers have two options, the Le Cabas in leather or the widely popular Le Pliage collection in sturdy nylon with leather trim. Within each category, there are a handful of sizes from coin purse to oversized tote.
The customization consists of several steps: choosing a model, picking a handle length, selecting your combination of colors and metallic hardware, and adding an optional monogram or name. The process is extremely simple and user-friendly, but it will surely make you feel creative (an maybe even a little smug with yourself) to make the decisions resulting in your ideal handbag.
Prices range from $45 to $470 with a delivery lead time of three weeks. Click here to begin designing your own Longchamp bag.
