Since the Le Pliage’s creation in 1993, it has become Longchamp’s best selling bag around the world with 30 million sold since it launched. The Le Pliage was inspired by the Japanese art of origami and named after the French verb “to fold”. Made of light, strong nylon canvas trimmed with ‘Russian’ leather’, the bag has since evolved to be offered in beautiful supple leather in 2012 and still retains the ability to be folded in the same way as it’s nylon counterpart.

During the evolution of the Le Pliage bag, it has seen collaborations with leading artists and designers to create special limited collections such as Tracey Emin, Jeremy Scott and Mary Katrantzou while special collections saw the bag being made in materials such as Python, Exotic and Plumes.

With the beautiful Alexa Chung fronting the current Longchamp advertising campaign, we can’t lust after the Le Pliage Cuir more.
