The first time I saw a Longchamp Pliage bag was when I was waiting for the metro at Reaumur Sebastopol station in Paris. I was looking for an apartment in Paris because I was due to start my Stage (legal internship) 6 weeks later.  The Pliage was the first step into a love affair with the now frequently written about ‘Parisienne’ style. However, my own special relationship with ‘Parisienne’ style felt unique and personal.  The Pliage in its beautiful simplicity and elegance was not just a practical and stylish way to carry my lunch, or a spare pair of ballet flats, it was  my work wardrobe stable.  Mine was classic navy blue and had a silk scarf tied to the handle,  appropriated  inherited from my mother. Over the course of my internship my Pliage remained at my side on trips to Annecy, Marseille, Nice, and Tours, ever present, stylish and practical.

I left Paris knowing that my internship was a success, my French fluent, my French boyfriend(s) history, and my Pliage bag every working woman’s friend!

Let me know what is in your Longchamp Pliage?
