    Do you have a Le Pliage and if you do, how long did it take for the corners to blow out? 🛍 Longchamp Le Pliage Large Shoulder Bag (Same as mine) go.shopmy.us/p-7650000

    I have a green version that I purchased a year ago. I used it everyday as my work catch all for 2-3 months and now whenever I need a tote. I just got back from a road trip where I used it. I’ve tossed the bag around and haven’t babied it at all. Just looked at my corners and they’re fine. One is just starting to show wear on the exterior but wouldn’t have noticed if I hadn’t inspected it while watching this video. I had it so stuffed on my road trip that I thought I might bust the zipper, but nope. She took the overstuffing and being tossed around like a champ. lol. If anything happens to the corners I’ll still feel I got my money’s worth. Lots of use and I didn’t pay full price.

    Hi..I like this content. In my opinion the issue might be due to the recycled canvas material that they are currently using where the canvas feels slightly softer and less durable. If I were to choose I prefer the older canvas version over this new one. Previously I thought the one time free repair warranty is applicable worldwide. Unfortunately, in my country (Malaysia) there’s no such free repair and the only warranty the offered is 30days return policy 🥲

      @@HelenAvery I am a Longchamp lover. I owned all sizes of LP including the pouch with handle. I also have the LP energy and one from the coated canvas line. As for the corners, I noticed most of them are showing sign of wear after one year. I love my old expendable travel LP coz it held up well for quite some time as compared to others ☺️ I hope Longchamp will improve in future

    I haven't had any issues with my "green" line bags. Both are over 1 year old. I see less wear on my corners than your mom has on her "green" bag. I also love the Club line. Favorite bag of life. They are my work horse bag. You took a rotisserie chicken, I took a couple of footlong sandwiches, chips, bottled water and candy, no one could tell, lol 😂🙈🙊

    I own ~10 le Pliages with most purchased in recent years & fortunately haven't had this problem. However, I've noticed a different problem with my smaller pieces. I purchased the pouch with handle and the XS energy with detachable strap and there were quality issues witth the 'ears'. The XS energy ears were not centered and weirdly angled and the pouch ears had a weird wrinkle to them. These were both purchased at Bloomingdale's and both were made in China. I actually wrote Longchamp with images and they sent me a repair form offering to repair. I returned the pouch to Bloominigdales showing them the issue and they took the item back and placed back on the floor lol. The XS Energy I kept & considering repairing. Would just recommend inspecting the items before purchasing.

    • @HelenAvery
      @HelenAvery  6 месяцев назад +1

      First, thank you for the incredible level of detail in this comment, I know comments like this really help owners and prospective owners of these bags. The XS Energy is such a cute and practical style, but it's good to know its potential pitfalls. Second, you bring up a good point that went unaddressed in my video: You can (and perhaps should) return these to where you bought them, of course. However, I know that's obvious so I made this for the audience of those who buy them at the airport or on vacation, or get them as gifts...it's nice to know they are covered under a warranty. I appreciate you sharing your experience!

    I have that exact green version in black like your mom’s. I bought it last year, and have used it several times during travel and to the office. Still looks as new as the day I bought it.
    I also have the large original tote in brown for about 10years now, and the corners are still doing well. Can’t say the same on the handles though. But I just wrap twilly on them and it’s all good!

    I actually found your video when searching for Longchamp price increase. The expandable travel tote cost 1600 Nok maybe 2,5 years ago. It now costs 2900 Nok at the same store. That's a HEFTY price increase! I checked archived versions of the site. The large shoulder version of Le Pliage shopper cost 1000 Nok then and 1600 Nok now.

    • @HelenAvery
      @HelenAvery  5 месяцев назад

    I wonder if it’s a change in materials they are using lately or if the bags being made in different countries have anything to do with that. I’ve noticed that they are coming from Tunisia, Romania, and china. I’m not even sure if it’s made in France still anymore. I do notice the difference between the leather feel and nylon between all of them made from different places.

    • @HelenAvery
      @HelenAvery  2 месяца назад +3

      Oh that's an interesting theory. Though I must say I can't tell the difference with my three, but they are also all old so who knows anymore. Crappy quality for apparel and bags though seems to be the new normal, even at the luxury level!
