Longchamp Planètes–Cinders

Cover

Chic, creative, and appealingly fresh - Longchamp's handbags and luggage are widely known all over the world. Most readers have probably seen our fair share of Longchamp Le Pliage totes. Now let’s give a room to Longchamp Planètes and indulge in its versatility.

The complete Planètes line is designed for both style and practicality. It has the same structure as the Le Pliage but it gives you a tone-on-tone design -- same colour for the body, flap, and straps. It uses a thicker coated canvas so unlike the Le Pliage, it is not foldable. It has 1 main compartment with zipper opening and 1 small pocket on front in the interior.

If you are looking for something to bring back for yourself or someone special at home that would impart a bit of ”Frenchness” on a daily basis, this would be it.

I have been searching high and low specifically for this Hazel colour in my earlier trip to France and Monaco but they are sold out everywhere. Thanks to our understanding client, she finally resolved for ‘Cinders’ and it’s a brilliant colour and choice.

The complete Longchamp Planètes line is designed for both style and practicality. Mix and match them with what you wear.

I personally love it's simplicity and the fact that it is so lightweight and storable. The weight factor is really the plus side, thinking of the amount of stuff I lug around all day. You can use a bag shaper to keep the shape and it will look more dressier. If you are looking for something to bring back for yourself or someone special at home that would impart a bit of ”Frenchness” on a daily basis, this would be it. We have another one ‘Cinders’ to grab, small (25x25x14 cm) with long handle.

Longchamp Planètes colours change with the season and reflect the latest trends.

Shapes, designs and colours of Longchamp bags change seasonally which of course keeps bringing me back to see what fun they have come up with. What everyone loves about Longchamp is, they are pretty affordable and all things considered. I brought heaps for my clients from my last trip back home earlier this year. Always a good thing!

I’m convinced that there must be some secret female rite of passage that French girls go through where they are given a Longchamp bag upon its completion. Women of all ages carry them in France, sometimes two at a time. You can spot some of them carrying an Hermés over their arm with a Pliage bag over their shoulder. So what’s your next Longchamp bag?
