I am a total cheapskate for bags - I am slowly coming around to spending more on shoes that last but bags, eh, I'm just not that into them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/longchamps-bags#post-1159576 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 19:02:07 +0000 Susie 1159576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was almost a lemming when these were mentioned several months ago. I was leaning toward the Planetes. But then I saw a good deal at ebags on a Tumi nylon tote so I asked for- and received- that one for Christmas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/longchamps-bags#post-1159567 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 18:44:39 +0000 Glory 1159567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh boy, not another lemming. I have been eyeballing these bags for quite some time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/longchamps-bags#post-1159563 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 18:38:03 +0000 Suz 1159563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, they do look higher quality in person and are more structured than Le Sportsac for sure.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/longchamps-bags#post-1159553 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 18:26:03 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1159553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dumb question about these - are they really well made or is the price just a factor of the brand name? Because they don't look that different from Le Sportsac or the non brand totes that someplace like DSW carries all the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/longchamps-bags#post-1159472 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 16:58:07 +0000 Kristin SF 1159472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a timely post. I mistakenly purchased a Medium Le Pliage in December, and brought it back to exchange for a Large in store. Well, I saw the Planetes and immediately exchanged it for that. It's just cleaner looking (all black) and more elegant. As Diana said, since it's a bit thicker and more sturdy, I also felt I'd get more life out of it. </p> <p>Good luck with your decision! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/longchamps-bags#post-1159370 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:29:32 +0000 Adelfa 1159370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the Le Pliage in Large. I wasn't sure about the cognac handles but have really come to love them. In terms of price, I think my cost per wear is maybe $0.30 and heading down every day. I got it to be a travel tote and it is outstanding for this. But now it is my everyday work tote and as I commented yesterday, it holds files, notebooks, lunch, clutch, and water bottle. (It holds a laptop easily but I don't carry one every day.)&nbsp;The fact that there's no added weight or bulk makes it such a joy to wear. Also, I wasn't expecting this, but people compliment me on it quite a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/longchamps-bags#post-1159367 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:26:00 +0000 Anonymous 1159367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have had my le pillage for over 7 years and I have no complaints. I use it as my personal bag on the plane and it gets a ton of wear (we travel a lot). I like the fold up feature and I like the size: it can act as an overnight bag it holds so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/longchamps-bags#post-1159362 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:20:36 +0000 Ariadne 1159362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm loving the Planetes too. &nbsp;I may go that route when it's time to replace my work tote, especially if it were to come out in a blue or grey. &nbsp;I sense another lemming coming on. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/longchamps-bags#post-1159347 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:00:34 +0000 Suz 1159347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, thanks for that link, Diana. I really like the look of the Planetes in comparison to the Pliage.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/longchamps-bags#post-1159345 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:00:16 +0000 Elizabeth P 1159345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much Diana!&nbsp; I KNEW someone on here must have seen both :).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/longchamps-bags#post-1159337 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:55:04 +0000 Diana 1159337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As you probably know, I lost my red&nbsp;Le Pliage and replaced it with a black Planetes. &nbsp;To be honest, the color was the primary reason I went with Planetes. &nbsp;The cognac handles on the Le Pliage always seemed to clash with my wardrobe, so I really wanted black. &nbsp;I chose black over plum because I needed something that I could tote my laptop around in for conferences and still look professional.</p> <p>Aside from color, I *think* the Planetes is made of a stiffer (and most likely stronger) material. &nbsp;The Pliage is foldable and the larger ones have an extra snap where you can fold it up into a little package. &nbsp;You can't do that with the Planetes, but in all the 2 years I had the Le Pliage, I never once folded it up like that. &nbsp;The Planetes will still lie flat in a suitcase if you want to pack it. &nbsp; One issue with the Le Pliage is that they do tend to get tiny holes at the corners from wear; that's a common problem. &nbsp;I do still think they're worth it though. &nbsp;I'm hoping the thicker material of the Planetes means it will be stronger in that respect as well.</p> <p>It's also a teeny bit smaller, but the large size is still plenty big for either of my laptops (15" or 13" macbook pros) and a bunch of other stuff.</p> <p>Here is a good review of the two side by side from Jean at Extra Petite. &nbsp;You can see in her photos that the Planetes appears more structured. &nbsp;She's also got some comparisons of the different sizes, but keep in mind she is tiny (less than 5' I think). &nbsp;The medium size will not hold a laptop comfortably in my experience.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.extrapetite.com/2009/12/petite-quest-shopping-for-longchamp_16.html">http://www.extrapetite.com/200.....mp_16.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/longchamps-bags#post-1159255 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 12:45:09 +0000 Elizabeth P 1159255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz's post about bags and puffers prompted me to ask a quesiton I've had for ages re the Longchamps bags, and that is, what is the difference between the Planetes and the LaPilage?&nbsp; There is a big difference in price.&nbsp; I wish the LaPilage came with something&nbsp; other than brown accents... :(</p> <p>It seems like an awesome bag for traveling, but is it really worth the pricetag? </p>
