LONGCHAMP “LE PLIAGE” BAG: 
 A BASIC ACCESSORY LOVED BY FRENCH WOMEN AND AN ICONIC OBJECT WORLDWIDE.

I have always been incredibly fascinated by the fashion sense of French women, standing out from the mediocrity of aesthetic excesses so very welcome by our era. 
One of the basic accessories which represent the flair for elegance and style possessed by French women is the famous Longchamp – Le Pliage Nylon bag.
Without throwing out a big stereotype, it is undeniable that at least every third woman in France owns a Longchamp tote, since, as a French brand, it obviously gets special support within the French communities. But it is also true that this model is an affordable, simple and practical option featuring on shoulders of many women all over the world. 
When creating Le Pliage, Longchamp drew its inspiration from origami, and the result was a light, foldaway bag, that has since become a cult object worldwide thanks to the fact that it is ideal for everyday use.
The line comes in a multitude of shapes, sizes and colours. 
Personally, I bought Le Pliage in two basic colours and sizes and accessorised both of them with matching pouches:
the Black Small model, which I mainly use as a travel / gym bag to keep all essentials close at hand; 
the White Medium model, which I mainly use as a beach bag, since I find that it adds extra-elegance to my beachwear, especially when worn with a pair of matching mules; not to mention that the possibility of folding it away to a smaller size allows me to store it in the front pocket of my LV trolley and to save space inside my full luggage.

Unfortunately, the nylon body, in spite of being water-resistant, should not be cleaned in any way, since it is trimmed with embossed leather handles and a press-fastened flap for classic contrast. 
So, to optimise the interior of both models and avoid either messiness or spillage of liquids that could leave permanent stains on the delicate interior, but also to keep the bags in shape, I bought seven-compartmented organisers from Original Club in matching colours and sizes, which beside being functional, enhance the essential elegant lines of the bags.
