Is the Le Pliage no longer cool? I don’t have one but loads of girls at my uni have one and everyone’s quite trendy there.
Yeah I use mine for work most days as perfect size for laptop. Its battered but when the time comes I’ll replace it with the same one!

Always see loads of girls on the tube with them!

I got judged not once but twice for still going for them 😂 All in jest of course but apparently they are seen a bit 2015 (??) by some, not that I am trend driven. I love that they are foldable and can take quite a bit of rough use, they are perfect for lugging around a bunch of stuff.

I don't have the same faith in the Ralph Lauren Keaton as I've never used it before.

just looked and it seems perfect for a uni bag! assuming it's the large being recommended - is the paper w brown leather a practical choice or is black best??

Yeah I have the large shoulder bag 👏

Paper is a gorgeous colour but I’d be worried about it getting mucky 🤣

I had a large in black and the medium one in red, I was worried the red would get nasty but it stayed surprisingly clean - not as clean as black or navy would though. (Lining of it is another story, I forgot a capless pen inside and it looks a bit Pollock-esque despite my best attempts at wiping it off. Doesn't show on the outside though.)

Hello everyone, new here and I'd like to ask for your advice.

I have used two Longchamp Le Pliage bags before. (Yes yes, I know they are very last decade and no longer cool etc. but I still love the shape and the practicality of them.) I was considering a new one, as my current one has started to tear open from one of the bottom corners (it is very well loved). I also looked at the Ralph Lauren Keaton. They are very similar in shape and material and I thought maybe I could go for a different bag this time.

Has anyone used the RL Keaton before? Did you find the straps etc. durable enough? I take good care of my belongings but at the end of the day, it will become an everyday bag and I can't be too precious with it. The straps look a bit more delicate than Longchamp ones which is why I'm undecided. Thanks in advance x
I use my pliage occasionally. Last time I used it, I held two bottles of hendrinks gin, a 2L lemonade and some bottles of beer on my way to a house party (classy 😂).
I would say stick with longchamp. I googled the RL bag and I don't think the straps would be as durable.

Le Pilage are absolutely perfect for short trips away, especially if you don’t want a suitcase. I’ve carried so much in them and they’re so durable. If they’re no longer trendy, well that’s fine, but they’re just so functional I’ll keep using them. I know they’re super common and I do have the classic navy but I also bought some pastel colours on clearance in Harrods so I feel a little bit ‘different’ now. My only regret is buying the short handle first, wish they all had long handles as they’re much more comfy to carry.
I even have the YSL tote but have never used it, only use my Pilage.

I've had a fairly decent offer by Luxe Collective (less than what I paid but much closer than others offered!). Are they reputable? I'd only be losing £49 off my original cost price ....can pretend I just hired it for a while 🤣. Their reviews are much more promising compared to VC!
 
I will live and die by Le Pliage, cool or not 😂 such a great workhorse bag!

I currently have medium and large totes (both black), a pink holdall and a navy backpack.

A Dior book tote. I still really want one but refuse to pay £2700 for it so to get it free would be great 🤑😂

So guys I need some positive manifesting from you ☺
Flew from Paris CDG and popped into Chanel to see what they had. Cut a long story short the Boy bag is £700 cheaper there but they didn’t have it in stock! The SA has taken my details for when I fly back through so I’m keeping everything crossed that they have one for me. I have her on WhatsApp now and I keep checking my phone! I’m due a bonus so would love to treat myself.
