Longchamp Love

Since I have been singing the praises of The Cambridge Satchel Co., I thought it was only appropriate to talk about the other bag in my life: my Longchamp. While living in London it didn’t take me long before I found myself exploring the beautiful city of Paris (only 2 hours away by train! Yes, please.) While exploring…and shopping…my way around the city I came across the huge department store Galleries Lafayette. Inside they had a Longchamp (pronounced Long-shom) pop up store and since I had been wanting one of these bags for a while and since the company was based out of Paris, I figured it was fate. So, I bought one. 

My navy tote. About $145

For those of you who know of Longchamp bags you know that they really aren’t anything special to look at.  They are just your basic nylon bags with Russian leather straps. But, that doesn’t mean I don’t use mine every single day for a book bag, work bag, gym bag, and at times I have even used it as a grocery bag. The nylon is resilient enough to hold up against everyday activities and while the shape of the bag itself is so basic that it can literally carry almost anything inside. Can you say versatile? The dimensions of the large tote are 12 1/4x12x7 1/2 in. I am usually one who buys for the aesthetic of the bag but, this time functionality definitely won out. This season's colors are super fun too. They of course are offering their basic navy, black, and taupe bags like usual but have definitely stepped up their color game with vibrant hues such as turquoise, paprika, and yellow. If you are looking for a good quality, carryall bag that will last you forever look no further than a Lonchamp.
