Stamp your personality on a loveable Longchamp

We’re in love. We’ve always had a massive crush on the Anya Hindmarch Bespoke Ebury, but have had to accept that, in these credit crunch days, our passion is likely to remain unrequited. But Longchamp’s Your Very Own Le Pliage is a much more realistic proposition. Le Pliage is one of the world’s most popular handbags, handy as a spare to roll up and keep in your main bag, or as a brilliantly practical bag in its own right. Waterproof, classic, unostentatious – start a relationship with Le Pliage, and you’ll live happily ever after. And now, oh joy, you can have the fun of personalising your own Le Pliage. Starting at €30 for the world’s dinkiest coin purse, to €90 for the largest size that could hold a fairly decent sized child, not to mention all his or her nappies/Top Trumps/muslins/sun screen (delete as applicable), it’s pretty good value. Particularly now that you can choose the colour of the main bag and contrasting stripe, the length of the handles, the finish of the famous logo, and for a nominal amount, even add initials (up to 10 on the largest version). No one else will have exactly the same combination, and the bag fits in beautifully with the current trend for stealth wealth. So it’s not quite a Tiffany epidural, as one of Blog Angels & Urchin’s most coiffed (spoilt…?) friends puts it, but at this price you could go so far as to have one for each outfit/child/occasion/house (again, quoting Ms Tiffany). Definitely worth pushing the, er, boat out for. If this is the future for bag ladies, sign us up.

   Indeed, a very lovely bag and concept. And the price is not that bad, either.

   is it true that the trend to buy bags for fashion is not necessarily the branded and expensive? because my mind is still stunned that the price varies with the quality

    I realise this isn’t a very good comment but it made me smile!
