My big leather handbag is simply too heavy to carry all over the city. So, today I purchased a Longchamp nylon and leather tote bag. It seems that almost all French women have these. They’re light weight, they fold-up for travel, they have a zipper closure and, at 62 euro, they’re not too expensive.
For years, I’ve carried a Longchamp change purse and I absolutely love it. If this bag turns out to be as handy as that little purse, I’ll be thrilled.
We are currently traveling in France and just spent 5 days in Paris.
There are always Longchamp bags available in the shops
but as far as observing French Women sporting Longchamp
– that appears to be a waning trend Is that your observation
for 2024?
By they way, I always use mine for shopping back home and
hard to beat their value while traveling.
I agree with you on all points: 1.) Longchamp bags are not as fashionable as they once were 2.) They make a very nice for shopping tote and 3.) They are a good value. This post is quite old, but I still have and love the bag and change purses. Funny story – I spent nearly a week in Paris with my Chanel executive tote in hand – it was large enough to carry a small umbrella, book, and everything else I needed, but it was all leather and quite heavy. After nearly a week, I decided to use my lightweight Longchamp bag instead. The day that I swapped out my Chanel for my Longchamp bag Karl Lagerfeld sat down next to me at the Cafe de Flore. NO JOKE – I was mortified.
