Fashion finds: Longchamp “Le Pliage”

I’m a fan of Longchamp‘s popular Le Pliage bags. It is definitely my first choice to bring to holidays. I love that the huge bag can be folded and tuck into my luggage bag. It also helps that its waterproof so I can be sure that important documents in my bag would be safe from the rain. It’s also a very durable bag; my Le Pliage bags which are already a few years old are still in tip top condition. Did I mention that it’s so spacious that I can fit a water bottle, a book, a wallet, an umbrella, makeup bag and other knickknacks in it? Yes, just like the photograph above.

Many people also don’t know this: Lonchamp has a very liberal exchange policy. If the surface of the bag has ‘bubbles’ after some time, you can change it for a new one with no question asked! That is as long as the original tag inside the bag is intact. However, I was a little disappointed that the distributor in Malaysia, BNA Distribution Sdn. Bhd, initially refuse to honour this promise. In that case, you can either file a complain (like I did) or get it changed in Singapore.

Okay, enough gushing about the bags. I’ve found a blogshop selling authentic Longchamp bags. To be honest, I’m not very confident about buying branded goods online. However, I do know that Longchamp bags are a lot cheaper in countries like Hong Kong and Paris. Air stewardess are known to buy these bags overseas and sell it at a cheaper price than bags in Malaysia to make profits. If you’re in doubt, it is advisable to personally contact Smashing Pit Stop to confirm the authenticity of their bags.  On top of that, you may like to learn how to spot a fake Longchamp bag.

3 Le Pliage Medium Tote (Long Handle) RM 370
4 Le Pliage ‘Eiffel Tower’ Tote (Long handle) RM 510

    Hi there! This is the best piece of news I've come across the entire week! Thanks so much.
    I hope you don't mind me sharing about it on my blog. Thanks!

  • admin

    Hi! You’re welcome. Glad it made your week :) Of course I don’t.

    I gave up on Longchamp bags as every other woman has it.

    Hi, I've been having the same problem with my bag too (i.e. that the surface 'bubbles'), was surfing the net for answers when I came across your blog. How did you file a complaint? I tried to take the bag to the outlet in the Gardens Midvalley, but was simply told by the assistant that as the bag was purchased 3.5 years ago, there was nothing I could do, except buy a new one (!!!)

    Please let me know how you managed to file a complaint (I am unable to find any email for Longchamp Paris), thanks!

    Hello Elly!

    Of course, we won't. Glad it made your week!

  • http://twitter.com/FASHIONOMY FASHIONO.MY

    Yes. I notice it's slowly becoming like LV. But I still think it's a great 'everyday bag'

  • http://twitter.com/FASHIONOMY FASHIONO.MY

    Hi Lynn, I took it to Garden's Midvalley too. First you have to make sure that the white tag inside your bag (fixed at the side) is still attached. They have recently changed their policy. If you have bought it from that particular branch after they change their policy it would be hard. You may have to write a letter to Long Champ directly (the one in Gardens is just their distributor). Otherwise, insist that this is Long Champ policy and they should honour their promise. I put up a fight before I got what I deserve. Good luck!

    I live in Ipoh and very please to have a piece of Longchamp Le Pliage handbag but I'm doubt abt the authenticity of the bags from smashing pit stop….. any advice?

  • admin

    We believe that buying online requires a level of trust between the buyer and the seller. If you don’t trust the seller, do not buy. It’s better to pay more and get a peace of mind about the authenticity of the bag.

  • daria

    Wow you're a big fan of Longchampa s well. I'm thinking of buying Planetes instead of Le pliage. The latter is getting a little too common…

    I suggest Longchamp terminate BNA Distribution Sdn Bhd as it simply organize frequent jumbo-sales up to 60% off for non-member. nI will not surprise if find authentic Longchamp bag among low end brand at pasar malam one day.nn

  • mia

    love your post.. can i repost this?

  • preppyrose

    i personally find the service is better at the pavillion outlet. not too happy with staff at gardens. i had a longchamp which was bought in early 2008. by late 2009, a lot of bubbles appeared. i took the bag to the pavillion outlet thinking they could help me do something about, not knowing about the exchange policy. best thing is they allowed me to choose a new one! i’m not sure if they still have this exchange policy in place.

  • Meiwah Loh

    Hi Preppyrose, my longchamp faced the same problem too! D and receiptso they ask for proof of purchase and receipts?

  • Mei-Wah Loh

    Hi Fashiono.my,

    I faced the same problem on my Le Pliage small sized, short handle. It has hideous bubbles on the surface of the bag. I wonder if I can bring it to Longchamp Pavilion or The Gardens for an exchange or repair. But the problem is that I bought this bag from online webpage & they doesn’t supply the original receipt. Do they (Longchamp) need the receipt?

  • Preppyrose

    Hi meiwah, they did not ask for receipts. The sa just took a look at the tag inside the bag
