Now, this particular Longchamp bag should be very familiar to you — the Le Pliage is an easy-to-carry tote that can surprisingly hold plenty of your daily essentials and still look sleek, a light, foldaway design in an array of colours that’s inspired by origami, and probably the first branded bag you own too. You might have even sprung for the upgraded version: the Le Pliage Cuir that’s made of soft and supple metis leather, a combination of the qualities of lambskin and goatskin, for a sophisticated and enduring look. Is it basic? Well, uh, kinda… But wait till you see its latest iteration — and we don’t mean just new fancy colour combinations.
Customisation has certainly been a big trend for fashion brands in the past few years, and Longchamp is no stranger to this; in fact, you can say that they’re one of the first brands to have pioneered the trend, inviting customers to create their own Le Pliage tote online, and offering us to pick from various sizes, handles, colour combinations and hardware, or have our initials embossed or embroidered. This time though, you can make the ubiquitous bag even more unique, with these limited edition badges clipped to your tote.
The limited edition Le Pliage Badges bag is a playful spin on the old classic, and with each design (there are four colours to choose from), you get to choose three badges to accessorise with. From hearts and stars, to kittens, and even symbols that remind us of the brand’s Parisian heritage, there are 14 original badges to choose from, so the trouble’s really narrowing it down to your three favourites. Each roomy bag, along with the badges, goes for $1,100 — still alright for owning a part of Longchamp, especially one you can truly call your own.
Longchamp Le Pliage Badges bag, available in 4 colours for personalisation, at $1,100 each (inclusive of 3 badges and personalisation service) — a maximum of 3 badges, badges not sold separately. Personalisation service available from 21 September at all Longchamp boutiques islandwide. sg.longchamp.com
