The Longchamp le pliage is one of those rare bags that both Gen Z and millennials – and their mums – are likely to own. Debuted in 1993, the French tote not only crosses the generational divide, but remains one of the best affordable designer bags you can buy. Now, the label has introduced brand new styles into its bestselling range.
Though popular on its launch, the le pliage didn’t truly take off until the Noughties when it was plumped for by royals and It-girls alike – the bag was regularly seen on the arm of Kate Middleton and Alexa Chung.
